Most people, especially beginners, try to separate religion from the rest of their life. This divide is natural due to our altars and rituals etc, but it is detrimental to spiritual growth. We must become our religion and realize that the Gods and spirits are around us always. There are things we can do or are currently doing throughout our day that pay homage to these great beings. For example, when I'm on stage I dedicate my performance to Dionysus. I open myself up and feel His presence in the endless halls of the theaters and vastness of the stage. But no you don't have to do something grand like that to worship the Gods. Just recognizing Them throughout your daily life is enough dedication to make Them smile.
When you're outside look up at the sun and remember Apollo Lord of Light. Or look down at the earth and plants, thanking Demeter Goddess of the Green for Her bounty. Opening yourself up like this to the Gods will provide you with extra insight into the workings of the divine, not to mention a deeper connection to the divine itself. It's almost like the idea that only those who believe in fairies can see them. Well only those who seek and recognize the Gods can truly know Them.
The Gods will not seek us out. They have no true need for converts. It is us who must go out into the wilderness and into our hearts to find Them.
