How do you worship your godgoddess?

Post » Sun Jun 10, 2012 11:29 pm

So, how do you worship your divine or daedric lord(s).

My Nord Empire soldier honors Kynareth for her gifts of nature. He goes to the temple every morning and sometimes in the evening. After a successful hunt or stroll around Whiterun, he picks lovely flowers and spreads them around Kynareth's shrine. He then kneels and prays.

What about you? How do you honor Hircine, or Talos, or whoever! Do you slaughter a person in Muhrene's (however you spell it) name, or place your favorite sword at a Talos shrine? Maybe eat a corpse for dinner or thank Arkay for being alive and well?

My backbone does not allow for preferences. I serve them all.

Every time my conjurer has a drink, I make a toast to Lord Sanguine for giving me that most excellent staff of his.

I parade the streets of Solitude singing in the name of Talos but authorities don't particularly enjoy the same enthusiasm as I do and I have to spend a week in a cell <_<

My argonian would sometimes spread his alchemical ingredients on the forest floor instead of using them in his experiments.
This, for him, is a sort of offering or aid for Kyne, so that she can keep the Hist and the environment in ever-lasting motion.

As well, he'll use Hircine's practices or ideals when he is looking for his evening meal. Allowing prey for a chance to escape, if however small.
I wouldn't call this worship per say, but more of a reverance or adherence to Hircine's beliefs/rules. So I guess you could call it respect for Hircine.

Last but not least- he will actually go about worshipping one particular figure: the primordial state of chaos, Padomay or Sithis as some call him.
His worship is however, not all that normal. By that I mean he kills those he dislikes (normally bigots) in Sithis's name, so as to gift the dread lord
with a fresh soul and also expand the chaos's influence by making actually more change happen. He does this for the Hist and Mundus's Dreamer: Lorkhan.

That's very unique. Nice style you got there.

Indeed and thank you. I know I would say the same about your own practices with your character.

I'd also say it's a very useful way to keep the immersion up and the roleplaying constant. I might even try such routines myself sometime.

Every time I hunt and kill a person. Innocent or not.Then eating their flesh, and drinking their blood. "Never waste the spoils of a kill."

By bathing in the blood of 100 virgins every night before bed. Such is the way Mara would have it.

My Altmer worships Mehrunes Dagon and generally just causes a fracas.

Ahh a fellow Dibella worshiper lol
I worshiped her by marrying her priestess (yeap thats the only reason..ahem)
I worship Talos by telling every single Justicar that I do.
I worship Hircine by hunting as a werewolf at night
I worship Sanguine by stuffing my house with over 200 bottles of honeybrew mead….you never know when Skyrim prohibition might happen
I worship Sheogorath by wabajacking A LOT. lol

I am not a big fan of other Aedra/Daedra so that’s all.

"we should kill a random stranger...practice makes perfect" - lucien's idea of worshipping sithis, i often go along with his idea aswell when itis time to praise sithis. to praise sheogorath i am always erratic, to say the least. for the great hunter hircine i act as his hound as i hunt, i give chase too my fleeing prey, and i slaughter them with a howl in hircine's name

Hehe.

I only worship my goddess a certain way for the sake of roleplay, not because it goes against my views in real life or that's how I worship a god. If I haven't misunderstood your post, I too don't worship a certain someone. Anyone for that matter irl

Edit: Replying to slayer, not you blade runner. Whoops.

Anyways, I've reached solitude to enlist with the Empire and fight for Skyrim! Stopped at the temple to complain why they have removed the Talos shrine and littered the Kynareth shrine with lavenders and tundra flowers.

I remember when I visited Ysgramor's tomb, I dropped my Skyforge Steel sword in honor at his grave and left his urns alone.

I go to the Shrine of Talos almost every day to pray at it.

I hunt in Hircine's name a lot.

I always kill for Sithis.

I'll relax somewhere and try to hear the Hist but they are too far away for me to hear...

My current Argonian character honors Sheogorath by bumping a line of Skooma in the mens bathroom at the Hawaiian joint down the road before shoving a peeled orange up his ass and smacking people in the face with the potted cactus he carries around and calls Todd.
