I am and always have been atheist but I express my gratitude to the Forest Spirit.
I don't pray to it, I don't believe in it, I'm not exactly superstitious, but I find it nice to express gratitude for my good fortune so from time to time I'll silently or aloud express my gratitude to the Forest Spirit.
I don't ask for favors; I express that I trust the Forest Spirit to do whatever it does for its own reasons.
I don't even live anywhere near a forest.
Anyway that's all, you're welcome to talk about it.
