this is what i imagine stimming would be like as a fire ghoul. i would love to set my hands on fire.
just burning all those excess feelings out
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.
purple and yellow flowers
🪻🌻🪻
you gifted me these purple and yellow flowers
your hands bleeding from picking them
yet smiling at me telling me i was yellow and you were purple
how my heart fluttered at the thoughtful gift, holding them
now dead are these purple and yellow flowers
forever stuck in time, sitting in a gin and tonic bottle on my desk
i wonder if you ever think back at the yellow flowers
how that night when you gifted me the flowers you told me
"its nothing romantic"
but then again, why else would you caress me like that
why else would you hold me against you as you press a kiss to my jaw, cheek and then lips
now its been three months and i stare at these purple and yellow flowers
wondering how much of your words had been true
you had said so many things to me, not sure which were lies and which were the truth
now each time i see purple and yellow flowers i wonder about you

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.
