LET'S FACE IT - TO AN OUTSIDER, HERMANISM MAY SEEM SILLY, MAYBE EVEN A LITTLE THREATENING, JUST LIKE ANY OTHER RELIGION. THROUGHOUT YOUR LIFE, YOU MAY FIND PEOPLE WHO USE ANTI-HERMANISM COMMENTS TO APPEAR BETTER THAN YOU. THESE COMMENTS ARE IGNORANT, AND NOT ACCEPTABLE. IF YOU FEEL AS IF YOUR FAITH IS BEING ATTACKED, DO NOT HESITATE TO STAND FOR WHAT'S RIGHT.
YES, HERMANISM IS A FAITH BASED UPON PEACE, LOVE, AND UNDERSTANDING, BUT ANTI-HERMANIST COMMENTS ARE NOT OKAY, AND DEFENDING YOURSELF IS OKAY IN THIS INSTANCE. DO NOT SEEK OUT FIGHTS, BUT IF YOU FEEL AS THOUGH YOU ARE BEING PUT DOWN, YOU PROBABLY ARE.
NO, HERMAN DOESN'T WANT YOU TO FIGHT SOMEONE, OR START A WAR, AS THAT CONTRADICTS THE ENTIRE MEANING BEHIND THIS FAITH.
HOWEVER, DEFENDING YOURSELF WHEN A COMMENT IS THROWN YOUR WAY IS EXPECTED. DON'T TAKE ANY CR*P FROM IGNORANT PEOPLE! HERMAPHOBIC BEHAVIORS SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN LIGHTLY!
HOW CAN I PRAY?
PRAYING TO HERMAN IS VERY SIMPLE. YOU CAN PRAY LIKE OTHER RELIGIONS, OR, FOR MORE POWERFUL PRAYERS, YOU CAN PRAY AT A HERMANISTIC PRAYER STATION.
HOW DO I MAKE A HERMANISTIC PRAYER STATION?
That is a darling good question, young Hermanist!
A Hermanistic prayer station can be created in a variety of ways.
METHOD!
Theis method is simple. Simply put an incense burner on a piece of white paper (to catch the ash!), and a framed Gameboy picture linked here.
PRE-PRAYER!
Just before praying, dim/turn off the lights in reverence for Herman, and light the candle(s)/incense (you can light the candles before dimming the lights as well). With the candle(s)/incense lit, you can begin praying.
WHAT DO I PRAY FOR?
When praying to Herman, you can do a variety of things. People often ask Herman for strength, bravery, or love when they need it.Herman never directly communicates with his disciples, however you can speak with Herman through his prophet(s), completely free of charge, by e-mailing [email protected].
POST-PRAYER!
After you have finished praying to Herman, simply put out the candle(s)/incense and turn on the lights, and continue with your day.
WHEN SHOULD I PRAY?
Hermanistic prayer is never required as of yet, as it is still a budding faith.
However, Herman has never shown interest in requiring prayer. Praying to Herman is completely optional, and, while recommended, is just for people who want to.
