Now that just might be the royal bitch, biting you on the bum (aka Laxmi's karma). You see, engaging in random cultural appropriation and inviting a goddess into an unsuitable home can be a costly expercise.

Laxmi is revered in many homes to influence the prosperity of those who dwell within the house. However laxmi will not accept worship from slovens or the lazy and by laxmi's standards all westerners are idle slovens. She is not an easy route to money and requires much more than incense to bring you positive fortunes.

I'd never invite Laxmi in, there is no way she would accept my housekeeping.
