The Gods want pie
This is a funny story from a while back….
My housemate had made an apple pie, and I was offering a slice of it in the State Rite. Suddenly I “hear” Wenut from the Seven Arrows shrine behind me:
Omigod, I want that.
(Of course, Gods don’t actually say “omigod,” but it gives you some idea of the sheer intensity of want.)
So after the Rite, I went and got another piece of pie — the last piece, as it happened — and offered it to Her, which made Her very happy.
*long pause*
All the other Gods in my shrine room: …WE WANT PIE.
(This is where I perform an anime-style facefault.)
And shortly afterward, from my Akhu, when I reverted some of Bast’s offerings to them: We have pie! (said with great glee)
I swear, my shrine room….
So one of these days, I need to get a whole pie and make a general offering of it to everyone in the room. I just hope they don’t stampede and wreck the place.
