ACTION ALERT: THE FOREST SERVICE’S OBLIGATIONS TO TRANSPARENCY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY HAVE BEEN GUTTED. SPEAK OUT BY AUGUST 4. Upd

Hey, we've got another public comment period with a rapidly approaching deadline here in the United States! Short version is that the Department of Agriculture, which manages the U.S. Forest Service, has severely curtailed its obligation to public outreach and comment on its activities, to include timber sales and environmental impact reports. The foundation of a democracy is in the power of the voices of the people, and this decision circumvents our ability to give feedback on Forest Service decisions.

That means that it will be easier for the Forest Service to clearcut old-growth forests regardless of the ecological impact, and make it easier for profiteers to exploit the natural resources of these publicly owned lands. This decision was made to benefit the few, not the many, and it's blatantly obvious.

The deadline to make a public comment on this disastrous decision is August 4. Please get the word out!

reminder for all my helpols out there!

only you and the gods can control your practice. it’s ok to not pray or offer everyday. it’s ok to have periods of doubt or where you just feel less religious. that’s normal. if anyone is judging you for how, when, or how often you pray or practice, politely and respectfully tell them to shut up, then ignore them. they aren’t worth the energy or time.

may the gods bless yall and remember to drink water

I love this post. It’s modest and balanced, in all ways. I also love that it focuses solely on how to become more closely involved with the gods and goddesses while leaving behind all the muddle of modernity. The true spirit of individuality, and the true spirit of Heathenry. Well done, OP. Everything is absolutely perfect and positive in this post.

Amphitrite with downturned trident, by François Théodore Devaulx (1866)

a-place-by-the-hearth

Since Lady Hestia is the first and last of the Gods, I like to give her the first Good morning and last Goodnight of the day, and this are the prayer I use for that. I add to them if it's a particular day and I feel I'm going to need to feel her presence more or express more gratitude for the events of the day, but this is the base I tend to fall back on.

Morning prayer

Good morning, Lady Hestia.

As I rise from the bed to start the new day, I thank you for protecting me and guarding my rest from outside and inside dangers alike.

May I keep with me the light and warmth of your fire to guide me through what may come during the day ahead.

Night prayer

Lady Hestia, Keeper of the sacred fire at the heart of Olympus, I thank you for your presence in this day and pray to you now that it's time to rest.

Please, let me lay within the circle of your hearth, so that I may rest protected from the cold and the darkness within the comfort of its warm light.

May the crackling of its flames fill my mind, so that my burning thoughts can become quiet like embers simmering under the ashes, letting me rest peacefully until morning without fearing their heat.

Thank you, and good night.
