<<I'll clean the altar near horse clan, maybe even kiss it and then pray to my badge. Do i need to do more to keep enough devotion to use communes?
That doesn't sound like enough devotional tasks to keep your pool full if using communes fairly frequently, especially Meraud's commune which uses up quite a bit of devotion.
I recommend at least adding planting a sirese seed to your devotion runs since that gives a fairly large amount by itself.
What I do is meditate at the crossing refectory, buy and bless some wine then offer it at an altar, pray with my badge, pray to my god, clean an altar, kiss an altar, dance at an altar, wave lit incense at an altar, and gather and plant a sirese seed. I'm dark aligned, so I also offer a stolen item at an altar and use the specially prepared blood incense to get a bit more devotion out of the incense waving ritual. This is enough devotional tasks for me to lock Theurgy and be able to use Meraud's commune once with an occasional additional commune here and there while always keeping my devotion at near capped levels.
