taking a stone that's thrown at you, polishing it into a jewel, and putting it in your crown.

Reclaiming a slur is not:

at you, and hurling it at

someone else in turn.

I want a story with a newly ordained priestess who doesn’t get her robes in time for the Feast of the Sea Gods, so she borrows her sister’s and has to keep rolling her sleeves back during the ceremony to stop them falling in the bowl of lamb’s blood. I want a story where the Ninth Masked Chanter keeps saying “save us from the shadow ones” even though the God-Emperor’s Council officially changed the words to “protect us from the shadowed” five years ago, because “save us from the shadow ones” is what the Ninth Masked Chanter grew up saying, and it’s really hard to stop your mind from going on autopilot during these long chants. I want a story with a young flutist who’s all-over excited that she gets to play the Midwinter Dirge of the Sun for the first time, and she’s been practicing for weeks, and after the Midwinter Rite is over everyone in the coven makes sure to tell her how well she did. 

And that’s not even getting into all the interpersonal conflict that’s possible when you have to coordinate any kind of event, let alone a religious one. Pick any ritual object, anything at all, from candelabras down to chalk for pentacles, and I guarantee you

someone has to clean this object or clean up after it;

at least one person in the group cares very deeply that this object is always treated with proper reverence, but at least one person in the group couldn’t care less; and 

at some point in living memory, someone came up with brand-new plans for how this object should be treated during the ritual, and a long, often petty battle was waged over whether to adopt this new idea.
