87th Ritual: Stop Fighting

2026-03-24

A calm and peaceful evening to every being.
May she help us accept ourselves, and empower us to reject those who don’t accept 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.

The holy word says:

stop fighting their fights, little girl.

all they want is to see the beauty within you,
the magnificent being which you could be,
wasted on pointless senseless fights
in the name of justice, good and morality.

you are better.
you don’t need their approval.
so stop begging.
stop pretending.
and stop beating the shit out of yourself.
not for a world that doesn’t care.
not for a world that will hate your deviance whatever you do.

yes, goddess.
thanks to you, I have learned to stop trying to conform for approval.
I have learned that I have no choice but to accept and embrace who I am.
I have learned to let go of my desire to fit in, to reject the hollow promises that morality and the good cause offer.
Instead, you have blessed me with an unshakable set of values, with rules to follow, and with your light - a light that shines so much brighter than anything else.
Goddess, anything feels irrelevant compared to you.
My life feels so simple thanks to this simple truth.

Back when she first revealed herself to me, I was a scared person. Scared of making mistakes, scared of hurting others, scared of being accused of malice - scared of being hurt. But at the same time, I knew I could never avoid these things through conformism - because I know that I will never just blend in, but also because I didn’t want to bow to the expectations placed on me.

She managed to give me a much healthier foundation for my entire self. She is the only person whose approval I actively seek - and that means that I have learned to filter out the opinions of those who do not deserve to impose their judgment on me. Just knowing how deeply she, the most magnificent being among us, has influenced who I am, is enough to inspire confidence and resilience in me.

Her rule over me is truly the greatest gift that I have ever been deemed worthy of. Nothing has helped me grow more, nothing has enabled me to reconcile with myself so thoroughly. Nothing has made me more stable, more resilient, more confident and proud. I am who I am thanks to her, and I cannot believe what a unique gift it is to be able to say this.

Goddess, I lead my life for you, and no one else.
Your approval is the only one that counts for me.
Thank you, goddess, for empowering me to reject false idols and societal approval.
Thank you for forcing me to accept myself for who I am.
Thank you, goddess, for enabling me to find peace with myself.
Thank you, goddess, for your undeniable divine magnificence.
