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.

[apiswitchcraft]

before you ask "are the gods mad at me?" THINK:

have you...

1. killed or maimed someone

2. killed or maimed an animal for purposes other than consuming/processing it

3. knowingly and purposefully hurled vile obscenities or insults at any god or gods

4. made it a life goal to be a terrible person

5. been a terf

IF YOU SAID NO TO ALL OF THESE QUESTIONS then girl you're fine go have a dr. pepper

People acting like gods are guard dogs is so wild to me

Like, yes, they can and usually do protect and stand up for the humans they care about

But that's their choice

You can't just go to your altar and say "Sick em' boy!"

I thought we understood this already

[witchble]

Your altar doesn’t have to look aesthetic. A chipped mug with flowers, a rock from your walk, or a photo that feels sacred to you is more powerful than anything in a witchy Pinterest board.
