shrine of discord

discord, entropy, chaos, change

in a world that rejects categorization,
embracing the unknown is a basic survival skill

discord uproots us and overturns our lives; it does not assure us that everything will be ok in the end, but reminds us that "ok" is something we choose

fickle and unreliable, the trickster god is best called upon when making a significant lifestyle change, or when the status quo needs to be disrupted at any cost

associations
plants/food: cinnamon, pepper, citrus (especially lemon), coffee, cocoa, sugar, alcohol, anything psychoactive
animals: snake/serpent, fox, coyote, crow, raven, rat, weasel, raccoon
life events: birth, death, interpersonal problems, sudden tragedy, new or ending relationships/careers/life stages/etc.
other concepts: beginnings, endings, anarchy, coincidence, play, deceit, irony, "the game"

offerings
basic ideas: new experiences, chocolate, candy, baked goods, improvised music, arts & crafts, scavenged items

offerings to discord can be burned (if safe to do so), or simply set aside (like on an altar) and then consumed, discarded or repurposed

remember, the best thing to offer discord is something spontaneous. offer something you typically don't, or just do something new you've been meaning to try!
