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

Hail, O Star of the ocean, God’s own Mother blest, ever sinless Virgin, gate of heav’nly rest.

Taking that sweet Ave, which from Gabriel came, peace confirm within us, changing Eve’s name.

Break the sinners’ fetters, make our blindness day, chase all evils from us, for all blessings pray.

Show thyself a Mother, may the Word divine, born for us thine Infant, hear our prayers through thine.

Virgin all excelling, mildest of the mild, free from guilt preserve us, meek and undefiled.

Keep our life all spotless, make our way secure, till we find in Jesus, joy for evermore.

Praise to God the Father, honour to the Son, in the Holy Spirit, be the glory one. Amen.

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 😅
