Informal Shrine Society

Field notes

The Society organizes participation around two things: a private intention and an offering made available to other members. Seven offering categories cover activities from finding and mapping sites to building, tending, recording, telling, and gathering. The page gives concrete examples of informal shrines, including stones at a trailhead, ribbons on a fence, photographs inside locker doors, and coins pressed into tree bark. It says gatherings occur every Waning Crescent Moon and that petitions consider prior experience, solitude, and company.
