“When I got some energy back, I sat down to tend my altars. The small chores of cleaning, sorting, and reorganizing took all of my attention.

“It took me a very long time to realize the kind of worship that feels most real to me is living into the energy of my gods. To me, this feels a little like a deliberate practice and a little like the forces that make pets look like their owners.”
The first images from the BepiColombo mission to Mercury were transmitted back to Earth on Friday, just as Mercury enters retrograde motion from Earth’s perspective.
