Sometimes I approach my shrines and just sort of stand there. Like, I don't pray, make offerings, or anything. I'll just stand there and look at it. Or sit next to it.
For a while, this made me feel strange and a little guilty, even. But now I look to how I do similarly with my parents. I'll just go and sit quietly with them, or go lean on them. Just take comfort in their presence.
The Gods ARE our divine parents, after all.
I feel this way as well. Whether the relationship feels parental, fraternal, friendly, or just lovingly neutral it can be so impactful just to sit in silence with your deities/ancestors or the spirits around you.
