30 Days of Truth - A Letter to Someone I Don't Talk To Enough

Hi, Gods.

I'm sorry.

I've been a terrible priestess lately. I've not offered alms, or even prayer for a while, except when I really need it. I mean, one of you is The Way Things Are and Will Be, so sometimes it feels kind of absurd to pray to you, 天之御中主神. But I am learning your language for you, learning to speak sideways when I've always felt to be speaking backwards. I've not been doing much spiritually, but I've been learning for you, all I can, because that is part of my job, right?

Bast, I am especially sorry to you. I have few of my knives, anymore, and haven't gotten a new one in years, nor have I offered you anything shiny or sweet. I shall honor you as I shall when I can, goddess, with honey and mint, and feathers and bells, and all the dark, shiny stones you love.

Diana, I know I honor you for the flesh I eat every day, but I feel it isn't enough. I don't hunt, but I do know how to do all the tasks that accompany it. Someday I hope to do you proud, even if I'm not as independent as you are.

Thank you for giving me all that you have, Gods, especially those that are my patrons. I am trying to do better, and that you've all forgiven me my follies means a lot. <3
