genuinely intrigued by the "respect your deities" conversation thats been happening, and i'd love to open up a discussion!

i personally use language that I reckon a lot of folks would consider disrespectful to the divine (very relaxed, jokey tones with lots of humour, and as a result often like playful insults or teasing), and i am very casual in my relationships with them (so like we just chat whilst i have tea/wine or something, it's not very ritualistic or official), and i'm so deeply fascinated by those who take a more "respectful" approach!

so some questions for y'all:

do you use epithets/titles (including lord/lady), and why/why not?

do you do more formal spellwork/rituals, and what does that look like?

and how much clarity is between you and your deities? (so like, are you using a godphone, do you use divination, do you pray? - how do you contact them and how direct or clear is that for you?)

please feel free to reblog with your answers and share around, i'd love to hear how different everyone's relationships are to them!
