1: Find an Appiration you connect to

2: Read the story

3: Look at the details & associations (exp: Our Lady of Guadalupe appeared to Juan Diego on December 15th when the Planets Venus,Mercury & Saturn where visible so you can offer things associated with that.) so by that i mean just really look at the detail.

4: Offer Roses (shes obsessed with them)

5: Shes very often associated with Plants so devote a Plant or aspects of Nature to her

6: Modify the Prayers and look at the details. (Exp: Hail Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy.) When you think Mother you think creator or protector. So by that i see Mary as the Saint who controls Mercy and where it goes)

7: Check how the people she appeared too reacted to her. (Juan Diego Bowed down immeditely and so you can do that when doing your Marian devotions)

8: Pray the Rosary (ik it turns a lot of people off bcuz we've been taught that its super complicated & shit but you can actually modify it to your liking. Connect to the Mysteries of her. No matter if their Biblical or not and really just do what you want with it)

9: Incorperate certain things into your practice.(exp: blessed is the fruit of thy womb Jesus) for me could indicate to femininity and thus, Devote thingd that have to do with that.

10: Meditate. Feel her presence and note what it feels like. Motherly? Loving? Like another Deity? All personal.

11: make a Visual represenation of what you picture her as. It could be a painting or a Moodboard. Really try capturing her energy with it.

12: GO TO THE SOURCE!!! pray to her, ask her for signs really go out there and try to connect to her & understand what SHE has to say to -> you <-.

I will scan or take a higher quality photo of it after it dries but for now I think I can call this complete!

I am planning to gift the original to my parish, whose patron is Mary, Star of the Sea :) I will try to get it framed before that too but we'll see how much it costs 😅 it's bigger than my usual size of paintings so not sure if I can use a non-custom frame or not

Map Wall: Map of Revachol

Revachol:

North Coast of La Caillou

“Shattered by the delta” of the Esperance

Series of river islands and distributaries

EAST REVACHOL

Le  Jardin

Stella Maris

Saint-Batiste (made up of suburbs, home of Saint-Batiste pharmaceutical company)

WEST REVACHOL

Couron

not Grand-Couron [district in jamrock] The Lower Middle Class (Possibly the district the GRIH/57th is in?)

Jamrock

Burnt out Quarter in the heart of jamrock

Faubourg

“Almost as bad” and much bigger than Jamrock 

Coal City

Poverty district

Martinaise

North of Jamrock Strip of coast next to the GRIH 1200m distance between bookstore and church

NOTES: Finding the factoid about the distance between the bookstore and the church is HUGE! It gives us more of a scale to the map. I need to track down the conversation sources but i still want to note that Couron and Grand-Couron are separate locations.

Map Wall - Several maps have been attached to a bulletin board hidden inside the alcove. They're held up by small pins. The board has come loose from one corner.

Map Wall - The maps look old and faded. Your eye catches a map of Insulinde, a map of Revachol, and a map of Martinaise.

You - Look at the map of Revachol.

Map Wall - The north coast of a verdant island is shattered by the delta of a river. It is the River Esperance. Countless bridges put the shards back together, connecting city blocks to river islands. *La Delta*, says a great, artificial heart in the centre, teeming with lifeforms and construction.

Map Wall - To the east, rolling hillsides: Le Jardin, Stella Maris, the suburbs of Saint-Batiste, swallowed up into the megacity. They sound *rich* to you. This is Revachol East.

You - And west of the river?

Map Wall - Couron. It's somewhere to live. Not bad. Then there's Jamrock -- it's *bad*. People shouldn't live there, but they do. Then Faubourg -- it's almost *as* bad and much larger. Then Coal City. It's the worst.

You - And Martinaise?

Map Wall - It's so small you can't even see it on the map. No... wait. There it is! North of Jamrock, the strip of coast next to the Greater Revachol Industrial Harbour. It looks downright despondent. It's almost Coal City, to be honest.

Shivers - No. Coal City is worse. A charred limb. Rain falls on its slick black streets. And then there's the Burnt-Out Quarter in the heart of Jamrock... is it cold in this bookstore, or is it just *you*?

Volition - No. This is somewhere to be. This is all you have, but it's still something. Streets and sodium lights. The sky, the world. You're still alive.

Inland Empire - You feel you're *just* west of Coal City. Somewhere above Jamrock and close to Coal City.

Some pictures that give me Sulis Minerva energy taken on various adventures of the East coast. For a solar deity idk why I find her mostly at night 🥴 downside of being a vampire by nature I suppose 😅

happy feast of Our Lady, Star of the Sea! 🌊 🌟

Hail, Queen of Heaven, the ocean Star,

Guide of the wanderer here below,

Thrown on life's surge, we claim thy care:

Save us from peril and from woe.

Mother of Christ, star of the sea,

Pray for the wanderer, pray for me.

O gentle, chaste and spotless Maid,

From sin's domain God kept thee free,

Plead with thy Son, for He has paid

The price of our iniquity.

Virgin most pure, star of the sea,

Pray for the sinner, pray for me.

And while to Him who reigns above,

In Godhead One, in Persons Three,

The source of life, of grace and love,

Homage we pay on bended knee.

Mother and Queen, star of the sea,

Pray for thy children, pray for me.
