Advice When Your Too Busy to Practice

Being a Roman pagan I find that the most important thing that the gods want us to do is to be self-sustaining, being able to do things on our own. The one way to do that, unless you win a ton of money, is to work. So that's what I've been doing. Next week I'll be ordering some Roman prayer cards and candle labels to help my practice along.

When you have to work, sometimes your too busy to practice. I've found that I can do a small ritual in the morning, before work, but I'm too tired to do anything when I come home. Even though you might be too busy to practice I believe a small 'thank you' to the gods will help. We live in a much different time than our ancestors, and so things are different.

I hope that this post helps someone.

Day 2: Knowing the Gods are Real Is Not What Makes them Real

I was reading "Under the Ancient Oaks" and the title above is the title that he used. I'm going to just talk about what I've seen and how it connects to the title.

In the time that I've been around I've seen debates over the gods and if their real, archetypes, so on. Personally I view them as being real. But my view isn't what makes them real. It's their presence in my life, how I've interacted with them, and how they have helped me. I've asked the gods for help in strength, patience (my present job is very stressful because people want me to work faster than is possible), and protection while traveling. I've done offerings to the Norse, Egyptian, Greek, and Roman gods...

Day 21: Midsummer Weather

Today was Midsummer and it was one hot day. I mean, not in the morning but it heated up really quickly by time the afternoon came around. Midsummer, as I've mentioned before, is when the sun is at it's height but it will start losing energy as we get closer to the dark half of the year. Me and my mother did enjoy ourselves and I had to wait until the weather had cooled down enough so that I could do my actual ritual. I hope that everyone had a good one.
