Reconnecting with old prayer habits
Today, for the first time in a long while, I knelt at my shrine and felt around for the faux velvet bag that keeps the prayer beads I purchased for Hermes five and a half years ago.

Devotional Jewelry for Hermes
A week before my 30th birthday, I found a piece of devotional jewelry for Hermes. For several years, I have passively (and sometimes actively) hoped that something would turn up on the Internet that seemed suitable and within my price range. I wear a ring for Apollon as a reminder of my religious commitments and … Continue reading Devotional Jewelry for Hermes
