Normalize laughing with your deities 

Normalize telling your deities jokes 

Normalize playing music for your deities at any time it feels right 

Normalize drawing silly little doodles for your deities regardless of skill

Normalize sharing a walk with your deities

Normalize soaking in the sunlight and dark mystery of night with your deities

Normalize letting your deities in, letting them be there 

Normalize shedding tears of joy and sadness and expressing negative emotions that aren’t pretty with your deities

Normalize various levels of intimacy both casual and intense with your deities 

Normalize following what works for you and your deities no matter what when it’s just about you and them, no one else

God's wisdom is not constrained to one faith.

He lives in all of his believers, and imparts truth to all of us. Just as we all are blessed with the inward light, whether believer or not, we are all blessed with the light's guidance. The thing is to listen to it- listen to the voice of goodness.

It is from this that good comes from not just God's christians, but his muslims, his jewish children, his atheist children, his pagan children, his buddhist and filian and all of his other children.

Learn to recognize that God's work and his love comes from all, and goes to all.

I've been really low on spoons lately, so I wanted to share some of my current favorite ways I've been keeping in touch with my gods:

Lighting my deity candles while I work

Devotional Pinterest boards (I really like this one!)

Putting on my perfume dedicated to Freyja

Mentally saying hi when my gods cross my mind
