Reblog and put in the tags what makes a muffin and a cupcake different
I made a meme lol
My mjolnir pendant is so important to me. It's a constant reminder of my Gods and my ancestors in my soul at all times.
It's holy to wear but it's also holy to live with. My partner and I kiss on my bed and mjolnir swings into his teeth on accident and we laugh, and someone else, some ancient lovers with the same faith, have done that before.
Hello! If you've wandered into deity or spirit work sects of the magical community then you've probably encountered the phrase "devotional act" at some point.
To some folks, this may be obvious, but to plenty of us starting out we had no clue what "devotional acts" were or how to do them. Here's a quick guide to get you started!
Thankfully it breaks down easily!!
Devotional: of or used in religious worship. Act: take action; do something; behave a certain way
So put this together and we get acts that you do as a way of worship! You can do these actions as offerings to whatever entity you're devoted to or even as a one-time offering to a being you don't usually work with.
This is often a way of thanking the being you're interacting with or is used to appeal to or petition an entity for their power or wisdom.
Now, the type of devotional act is going to vary based on who or what you're devoting said act. However, I've compiled this short and non-exhaustive list for you to check over and perhaps take inspiration from!
Pray
Sing
Dance
Work out/exercise
Create art
Recite poetry
Clean up and maintained areas relevant to or protected by the entity
Listen to music that reminds you of the being
Cook
Meditate
Spend time with them
This is a very simple and basic list, if you want to get more detailed ideas please look into the lore and mythology of the entities you work with or are trying to petition or talk to others who work with them. You can also simply ask the being yourself what they would like you to do!

Similar to my grimoire guide, this is a guide on deity journals.
A deity journal is a journal dedicated to a deity. It’s filled with information, offerings, devotional pieces, etc. If you like journaling or can’t give other physical offerings (like food, libations, etc.), it’s one of the best offerings out there.
Usually deity journals are physical journals and notebooks. Binders and folders work as well. I have seen deity journals online, using things like Notion or Google Docs. Those are a little harder to format, but are great if you don’t have a notebook or aren’t a fan of physical journals.

went on a biking roadtrip with friends and ofcourse i had to bring my son along
my very unfinished ghoulsona. i wanted to make better realistic drawings but i didnt have the energy for it so i just went with this.
i have headcanons for them if you want to read 'em. i will probably come up with more in the future because i think about it a lot. its good escapism
their name isnt decided yet because i keep jumping from one name to another
multi ghoul because im also indesicive about that.
they were very sensitive when first summoned/pulled out of the pit
when they got overwhelmed while still adjusting their powers would just get out of control and it would just be chaos
they help copia with make up and costume changes.
emotional support ghoul (kind off like a theraphy animal)
can also play keyboard if needed.
if they do get to play keyboard they are extremely jumpy and stomps foot on the ground when they can so that they can get the zoomies out.
purrs a lot and also kneads other ghouls when they sense the ghouls are stressed or upset
plays with copia's rats because they think the rats are interesting.
(also has a copia plush but wont admit it because they think its emberassing if copia found out)
copia giving you all a goodnight kiss
i tried my best
