For Discussion: Worship

What does "worship" mean to you?

How/why is it -- or is it not -- important to your path?

What does "worship" look like as a practice?

I see...where your reciprocity lies...in my case, when I have been to "worship" (ie Services) I never felt deity present, so it felt more like I was leaving a massage in his mailbox, which he might/might not get to.
In your case above, getting to touch deity to mesh your energy with theirs is still an exchange.
Worship implies an absence to me.
I give offerings because I wish for the deity to be happy as well as look kindly upon me.
It may just be a word trigger, and my activities may "look" like worship to the average person.
