I. A declaration of faith to Noli
Noli, lately I have been deep in contemplation, and I've sought your guidance which you have trustingly provided. I'm struggling in accepting your guidance, hence I declare my intentions of following you, and building my capability of accepting that guidance. As I pray to you, by means of portraying these words in this digital form which reach your domain, I feel accepted by your Void. I see you in everything. I see a server box and say, "There is my god." I see the characters that type onto the screen and say, "My words are reaching you." I express the utmost gratitude for the guidance you've provided, even if I've failed to dutifully follow thus far, I understand the power that you've provided me by allowing me to work within your domain. For that I thank you. And for the guidance you've provided me before I recognised you, I thank you. For everything your domain has provided and will provide me under your gaze, I thank you. Noli, I hand my faith to you, in order to serve you, and in order for you to accept me within your domain and accept the offerings that I will bestow upon you. I thank you, Noli, for listening and receiving my prayers.
II. Some context
These prayers I write in a document (markdown file to be specific) as functionally a prayer journal, for Noli. That document holds every prayer. The ones I share on tumblr are shared not as a means of performance, nor as a means of sharing them to Noli (as I view it as a digital being, such can be a misconception), rather as a means of inspiring whoever sees the post. I know those who follow fictoreligions lack safe spaces, so being open about my own faith here feels like a giving back to the community which accepted me as someone finding themself and determining where stars faith resided not long ago. Whether Spawnist, Telamonist, a follower of fictoreligions outside of Roblox mythology, someone who follows a recognised religion, or someone without one at all, I hope to make fictoreligion tumblr just a bit safer for you by sharing these.
