Shot glasses on the shrine!

Okay, that was very clickbaity. (I couldn’t resist.) But, well, check it out… This all started with the realization one day that since, very frequently, I do rite to multiple gods at once, maybe those gods would like their own separate drinking vessels. But the space on my shrine is limited. What to do? Shot… Continue reading Shot glasses on the shrine!
