Divine Worship

The Divine play a part in many people's lives in this age. To be in the
service of a divine is one of the greatest things a mortal can achieve
in his lifetime. Each member of the Pantheon has a different importance,
a different value to each member of the world. While it is not possible
for someone to be in the complete service of more than one divine, that
does not mean that you are not able to worship or believe in the
teaching of another.
In this essay, I will take a more personal approach in explaining
worship. In my life, I have studied the realms of many of our beloved
Divine. I have molded my life around the philosophies of multiple
deities, and have developed an ethos surrounding such principles.

Lord Scarlatti/------\Lord Vastar
My Divine Matron
-----------------
I have found a limitless comfort in the Moon, and great joy in the
service of Lady Ourania. I may become tired, bored, frustrated with all
other things in the world, but I can always count on Her and Her
children to make me feel better.
My Personal Triad
-----------------
My Personal Triad include the three Divine whose realms are most dear to
me, aside from my Divine Matron.
Lord Pentharian
------------
The God of Valour and Honour is dear to me for the sole purpose that his
realm encompasses all that is honourable and good. However, my views
toward evil make it impossible for me to devoted to each and every one
of his teachings. While I cannot embrace the entire realm of Lord
Pentharian, I still try my best to incorporate some of his realm into my
lifestyle.
Lord Scarlatti
--------------
As an artist, I am a part of Lord Scarlatti's realm whether I wish to
be, or not. Lord Scarlatti's teachings have driven me create great works
of art. Though the blood of an artist flows through my veins, I often
become terribly frustrated with my Art, and seek comfort in other
realms.
Lord Vastar
-----------
I have many aspirations that I hope with all of my heart that will see
fulfillment one day. Lord Vastar teaches the importance of fulfilling
such aspirations, and of being the best person you can. While I
understand some basic things about His Realm and His teachings, I do not
feel attracted to His realm in the same way I am attracted to the Moon.
However, I still find His teachings a very important part of my
lifestyle.
Aside from these Divine, I still often beseech others to aid me when it
I enter the realm. Before every spar in the Arena, I pray to Lord
Matsuhama for insight. When I travel by Sea, I pray to Lord Neraeos for
safety. The Divine are not to be ignored simply because you do not
worship them. Each and every Immortal being has had a part in making the
world what it is today, and they deserve our attaention for that alone,
if nothing else.
