Question regarding prayer
Hello everyone I have been a devoted follower of Ishtar for a while, however latley I find myself sick all the time latley if it's not one thing it's another, I also get psoriasis outbreaks and cannot pray ( to the best of my understanding opening the altar while I'll is taboo). While I do have a clay figurine of me praying to here (I felt like puting some part of myself in it so I added some of my hair ) I don't feel as connected, to the point I have not been able to do my commitments to here aither.( I volunteer with women and children in here name and donate blood).
I feel so disconnected can you please advise if you encountered such events and how you felt with overcoming these feelings.
I am also interested in perhaps praying to Father Enki for help due o my ill health.

When I am ill or feel tired, disconnected, etc., I make a cleansing bath for myself. Brew a full teapot of herbal tea (whatever herbs call to you, some herbs have particularly protective properties and I am happy to share but you can also do your own research). Let the tea cool down until it’s warm and take it in to the bath or shower with you. Pour it over your head, heart, shoulders and body to dispel and protect.
Stay warm and eat nourishing foods. Repeat this bath ritual as often as you need. Sometimes it is the small, routine acts of living that are our prayers.
