What sort of sanctuary/structure are you talking about? Is this something built into the liturgy of the faith - like everyone shares the same ritual structure or w/e so when things go wrong it's easy to troubleshoot across distances - or something on the astral to protect mystics?

[Insert regular disclaimer that Sage doesn't do mystic stuff and has only a secondhand understanding of what said stuff even is.]

On the other hand re: ritual, it's very refreshing to have a new pagan/polytheist tradition that doesn't start with ritual at the beginning of learning about the faith. I come from some very, very ritual-heavy trads, and it's nice to have a faith with openness. I don't think we necessarily need to create, say, a daily/weekly ritual that EVERYONE MUST DO - but it would be nice to offer different ritual options for folks who feel that need. For example, some people will want an initiation/dedication ritual. Some people like me are super wigged out by the idea. Some people do well with really complex ritual - others just need enough to cultivate a certain mindset. Etc etc etc.

Though for what it's worth, I would love to see a mystic-magic-religious current within the Otherfaith for folks pulled in that direction.

I do like your idea of using up old candles for Reunion. It feels like a good time for using up things that have been in storage that ought to be enjoyed and put to rest.
