A Joyful Return

Posted by Madeleine on 10/18/17
Beloved in the eyes of the Gods;

As first chosen in service to Mangata, it has been an honor and pleasure to tour the various shrines and statues built in Her honor, and with a happy heart I return to Arx. But let us not forget that she is to be praised always, not just because it is the 'trendy' thing or because there is a crisis. The Sailor praises her when the winds are fair, and begs her intercession when the storm rages. Let us follow their example and thank her always.

When you bathe, thank her. When the spring breezes caress your face, thank her. When the life-giving rains fall on the crops and fields, thank her. When you lift a glass of wine or tankard of beer, thank her.

Let us hold Mangata in our hearts always, my beloved friends. Remember that the Gods are with us in times of peace as well as crisis, and we should not abandon our praise simply because a crisis has passed. Now is truly the time to give them all due worship and love and ask their continued protection.

Wishing you fair winds and gentle rain,
Archlector Madeleine of Mangata
