Worship is something that happens in monotheism, not polytheism.
- If drivers stop their cars to move a hedgehog from the middle of a road, this is not because the hedgehog was praying for salvation. Nor would the rescued hedgehog go on to develop a religion praising and thanking that human or all humankind. It would simply carry on with its ordinary life. This is much the same approach as an animist Pagan might take to those other-than-human people which, tradition teaches, are more powerful than humans, i.e. deities and the Faerie. It might be encouraging to know that such beings share a Pagan’s delight in certain places and times. Their presence at festive occasions is sometimes invited but is not necessary or central to the celebration of that festival. Usually humans get on with their lives, hedgehogs get on with theirs, deities with theirs.
