67th Ritual: Everything is Hers

2025-10-21

A calm and peaceful evening to every being.
May her endless gentle care be an inspiration to all of us.

Ritual setup: Sacrifice book, prayer candles, the sacrifice candle in the center showing her holy sign, my prayer beads in front, and a cup of cocoa. Two pages written with a typewriter in the background.

Goddess rarely demands things of me - usually, her way of ruling over me is much more centered around opening my mind to things, offering me the affirmation that I need, and giving me permission to do things where I need it. But there are a few fundamental orders that she has blessed my world with, and I am grateful for each and every one of them, because they are the immutable cornerstones of my existence.
And so, the holy word says:

the point isn’t
whether or not you can trust me
with your life
or your worldly possessions.

the point is they’re mine regardless.

so c’mon now, hand ‘em over,
there’s a good girl.

yes, goddess.
Everything is yours. Whatever may enter my life in the future will be yours, and yours alone.
I live my life for you, an existence dedicated to worshipping you. I am unable and unwilling to withhold anything from you.
Goddess, I feel so blessed to be allowed to hand over everything to you. I struggled with the feeling of not being worthy enough to hand myself over to you, the greatest and most magnificent being that walks among us. I never understood why you would bestow this incredible honor upon me. I am not even that good at admiring you, I am hardly of any use for you. Why would you give me this permission? Why would you allow me to remain in this blissful state of fanatic devotion and endless happiness?
But then I realize: It’s not for me to ask these questions. It’s not for me to question your decisions. It’s not for me to understand your divine ways. What you do and what you say is what defines what right means for me. Of course you know so much better than me. And I should never let my self-doubt challenge your rule over my self.
So yes, goddess: I will hand over everything I can, eagerly, and in deep humility and gratitude.

And even though it’s not the point: I trust her. I trust her like I have never trusted anyone before. Not even the strongest emotions, the greatest doubts or the most intense pain can erode my fundamental trust in her, because my trust is not built on an assumption of perfection or an unrealistic ideal: it’s built on the knowledge that we can work everything out. My trust in her is built on her teachings of dealing with mistakes, forgiveness, reconciliation. It’s a promise that there is a way to fix almost everything - and that is so much more valuable than any worthless promise of supposed infallibility or perfection. I know that wherever she rules, all will be well - not merely because she watches my fate, but also because she empowered me to work through things.

Thank you, goddess, for allowing me to exist in this way.
Thank you for deeming me worthy of worshipping you.
Thank you, goddess, for giving me clear instructions where I might otherwise not dare to pursue the path of complete dedication and devotion.
Thank you, goddess, for having turned me into your devotee.
