I Love Creating Elaborate, Personal Rituals For The Gods But Theres Also Something So Divine And Beautiful

I love creating elaborate, personal rituals for the gods but there’s also something so divine and beautiful about making magick out of the mundane.

Washing away stale energy in the shower

Brushing my teeth with mint toothpaste for Hades while praying to Him and asking for guidance in speaking the truth

Wearing pomegranate lip balm for Persephone and asking Her to keep the words I say just and fair

Stirring a sigil into my morning coffee for focus and energy

It’s just such an incredible reminder that the gods are everywhere in our lives, that everything is touched by them. And that makes every little mundane part of life so much more meaningful to me

I'm so sick of AI, I can't even put it into words😫 Every time I search for images of deities, I only find these fake Ai pictures and can't express how much I hate it. I miss the days when it was easy to find beautiful paintings or artwork created by talented people
