Low Energy Devotional Activities and Ways to Connect with the Gods

Let's be honest, religion and consistent practice can be HARD, especially when you're chronically ill, disabled, mentally ill or neurodivergent. This is a list of lower energy practices you can do to connect with your Gods when you're having a rough day.

Pray. You don't have to say the prayer. You don't have to do the full cleansing and offering. Just think about the prayer. It could be as simple as "'Deity Name', thank you. I'm thinking of you and appreciate you."

Dedicate any self care you do to the Gods. You've got to take meds? awesome. it's now a devotional activity.

If you can, light a tea light candle. You can think about who you're dedicating it to as you're lighting it.

Tell them about your day. Have a simple conversation with them (again, this can be in your head if needed).

Offer some water! Water is a great offering if you don’t have the energy to cook, collect or buy something.

Incense is also a great offering because you can light it then forget about it and your house won’t burn down (if you follow regular safety measures). 

Resting. Your deities want you to be okay. Dedicating your rest to your deities is especially great if you feel guilty for allowing yourself time to heal.

Turn on a video of someone reading mythos! 

Put on a deity playlist. There are plenty of pre-made ones on Spotify. 

Veil or bind your hair! Whenever I’m low energy I’ll throw my hair in a ponytail and bind it that way. It doesn’t have to be extravagant. 

Make a Pinterest board for them!

Post on a digital altar! There are plenty of discord servers that have digital altars and temples. You could also make a devotional Tumblr blog. 

Change your phone lock/home screen to something that reminds you of your Deity.

I hope this is helpful to anyone who needs it! Take care of yourself first and foremost. If you don't think you can manage something on this list then thats perfectly fine too! you're not a bad person for not being able to do something spiritual or religious. Ultimately, these things are not a necessity. Don't stress :)

Everyone please please stay safe and prepare for the worst or to be ready for anything that could happen. Make an emergency pack/box just in case, learn DIY survival skills that may work in a pinch, learn your neighborhood and the area, and know how to manage your own food.

Times are rough, this may be reasonable or an overreaction but it still stands to be ready as we don’t know for sure

Remember that in these tough times we must be the weeds that cannot be removed from the garden. We must survive, we WILL survive.

Hypnos of the chronically fatigued, unable to walk for long

Hypnos of the chronic pain sufferers, stuck in bed for days

Hypnos of the recovering, having to rest for long periods

Hypnos of the comatose, protecting them in their fragile state

Hypnos of those with endometriosis, unable to get out of bed from the cramping pain

Hypnos of the narcoleptic, unable to control their sleep-wake cycle

Hypnos of the hypersomniacs, unable to stay awake very long

Hypnos of the insomniacs, unable to fall asleep at all

Hypnos of the sleep walkers, keeping them from running into something in their sleep

Hypnos of the sleep paralysis, fighting the visions off when you can’t move

Hypnos of those who faint and black out, making sure they don’t hit the ground too hard

Hypnos of the dizzy and lightheaded, who have to lie down more often

Hypnos of the sick, disabled and chronically tired.

From the ashes you shall rise; You will fall. You will fall HARD. But it is never the end.

Work with Loki

For me work with him is much differently than others: I can feel him meshing, an energy present withih myself that it took much time to know. A presence of only him within myself:

Recently I were told it is a form of possession of a sort but only within the mind and energy . I do not know how true it is.

Nevertheless here is todays photoes

hey. this is your sign to remember that it is okay to incorporate your special interest into your worship and offerings. the gods love you as you are. offering to the gods the thing running through your mind, your very veins, at all times, is an admirable show of your devotion.

Today's post I would like to just state something

If you are not willing to take time to understand practices and methods of the spirit or deity you wish to worship or work with, then don't work with them. That is a form of disrespect.

Don't know how? Ask, research. Knowledge is accessable.

Since apparently my last Lucifer offering post was popular and well liked I decided to now post past ones and the evolution of his altar:

Lucifer I keep in a red box, with a mix of gemstones , a Massachusetts American quarter, I had some garlic but it finally went bad so no longer, rose petals, a pentagram/pentacle depending on whatever the person wishes to call it, and now recently he has his own offering bowl, ritual oil, and pendulum.

I also made him a offering jar as seen here

It is made up of a Lucifer offering mix I had bought off TripleGoddesCrafts on etsy who I buy my herbs off of, honey and rose petals and topped off with read thread and black wax.

I will gladly explain more and answer questions!

he is who I do readings most with too, and who helps me learn and grow

Did some offerings today with Lucifer!
