The sea is a temple. The woods are a temple. Your own bedroom is a temple. The world is imbued with the spiritual. Worship is an act, not a place, and it can happen spontaneously, in reaction to the beauty of a moment.

Friendly reminder that spirituality isn't a replacement for science, technology, and modern medicine but something that coexist with it in beautiful ways.

psst... it's okay to call yourself religious if you're pagan. there's a lot of people who prefer spiritual over religious in this community, and that's okay! but if you want to call paganism a religion, you have every right to, and anyone attacking you for that is weird

spirits don't have to be your friend. the rock in your backyard doesn't have to behave like a human or be useful to you to deserve respect. there is inherent value in loving the web of spirits that surrounds us without asking what they can do for us.

Spent some time this morning preparing an offering in thanks as I asked Hermes, Apollon, and Athena to help me with writing an essay I had due. It's been a long time since I've done that - with food offerings at least - and I forgot how nice it is.
