Jar [I used a plastic heart ornament]

To begin the spell, I began to put a thin layer of chamomile and lavender at the bottom, while focusing on my intent, “I want to find self love”. Next, I added in the Himalayan Pink Salt, as well as the rose petals and rose quartz. 

Before adding in the moonstone, I held it to my heart and imagined pure energy flowing from it into me, as well as energy flowing from me into it. Then I gave it a small kiss to seal the deal, and added it into the ornament.

It’s been a while since I’ve made a post. I’m going to address one of the most frequently asked questions I receive: How do I give offerings? For some reason, many beginner books don’t dive into the specifics of this religious practice which many are unfamiliar with. Hopefully this will help.

General Rules:

Offerings are given as thank-yous, as little gifts to say that you appreciate the deity’s existence. They don’t have to be expensive, but they should be special in your eyes. For example, I often offer donuts or wine simply because I don’t buy those two things often.

Offerings should be appropriate for the deity you’re giving them to.

You’re allowed to get creative with offerings–in fact, the Gods even prefer that you do!

How often you give offerings in accordance to your practice is up to you.

You may give apology offerings for any offense you think you may have made.

Prayers, songs, playlists, and there intangible gifts still count as offerings.

You do not need an altar to give offerings. You can give offerings anywhere, at anytime.

Simply saying “This is for you” makes the object an offering.

Food Offerings:

Most food offerings are eaten after being offered. The main exceptions are Greek chthonic deities, and ancestors, in which case you do not eat the offerings. Research your specific pantheon to make sure if eating is appropriate or not.

There is no set amount of time to leave out food offerings. In fact, many worshippers will eat said offerings right after they offer them.

If you do not eat food offerings, you may throw them away, saying something like, “Though I discard these physical offerings, the spiritual offering remains”.

You may also bury the offerings. Make sure that the offerings will not harm the surrounding environment or animals. Do not bury them in a jar or plastic bag.

If you offer herbs, you may either burn them using a charcoal block or cauldron, or you may throw them out/bury them. While burning is certainly traditional in many pantheons, do not feel the need to if you will be bothered by the potent smoke or handling fire.

Liquid Offerings:

Liquid offerings are handled in the same way food offerings are, with the exception of oils.

You do not have to drink oils after offering them. (Drinking straight olive oil is pretty gross, and please DO NOT drink harmful essential oils!) I recommend pouring them into the ground outside, or into the trash can.

You may pour liquid offerings into the offering bowl, or, you may keep the liquid offering in a cup. I have a special teacup that I often use for offerings such as tea, but any regular teacup will do. After all, you are offering the liquid, not the cup.

Incense and Candle Offerings:

According to tradition, these offerings must be left to burn out on their own. I recommend lighting small tea light candles for these offerings, as big candles burn for a long time. However, some modern Pagans may blow, rinse, or snuff them out early to prevent a fire hazard.

Make sure to be present while the offering is lit, and make sure nothing catches on fire.

If you are bothered by incense smoke, using an essential oil diffuser or unscented candle works fine.

Although many Pagans recommend incense as a general offering, you do not have to offer it, or any candles, if they bother you.

Plant Offerings:

If you offer a plucked flower, you may leave it on an altar or table until it withers. Afterwards you may throw it away. Basically, you handle it as any other friend would had you given them a plucked flower.

If you offer a growing or potted plant, tend to it as you would your other plants. If it dies, that’s okay. Simply discard it as you would normally. The Gods understand that plants die, and They appreciate the beauty of plants while they last.

Other Offerings:

For objects such as stones, shells, or family heirlooms, keep them on the altar or somewhere else special. Ideally, you will not need to throw these away. If they get damaged somehow, and if you cannot repair them, you may throw them out, but give an apology offering and try to replace them.

For artworks or crafts, place them on the altar or hang them somewhere. Don’t sell your offerings; they are gifts you gave to the Gods and not yours to sell.

For songs, play or sing them anytime you’d like to connect or give something to your deity.

For writings, you may keep them, or some people might burn them to “send” to their Gods. Whichever way is up to you.

For e-shrines or other technological offerings, keep them saved in their own folder, keep them nice and up-to-date.

For magical tools, such as grimoires or wands that you dedicate, feel free to use them as normal. Just take care of them, and remember to thank the deity you devoted them to once in a while.

For daily or private actions, such as cleaning, giving to others, etc., simply think “This is for you” or send your energy to the God, and finish the action.

You may say prayers out loud, write them down, or simply think them in your mind. All are perfectly legitimate.

Sigil for restful sleep

Many people- in fact, most people- fear death. There is something about the uncertainty of it that strikes us and makes a certain panic simmer within our minds. This is my guide to feeling more comfortable with the thought of death, in a healthy way. It may not work for you, but it has for me, so I am sharing in case it will touch someone else, too.

I Don’t Want to Waste My Life

Our natural tendencies to procrastinate fuel our fear, until we are no longer fearing death itself, but the idea of living an incomplete and wasted life. This is extremely unhealthy, in my opinion, because it can lead to stress and anxiety over how much we do, our productivity, and our success in comparison to those around us.

I am here to tell you that your life is never wasted. This helped me overcome my fear of death, because I learned to be glad to live in general, and to exist in harmony with the rest of the creatures and plants on Earth. I am part of an indefinite cycle of life and death, and supply a part in this world and its population.

Thunderstorms make me happy, especially on the days when I can lay in bed and watch horror films. Add a cup of passion tea to my bedside table and I couldn’t be more content. Some would say this is a waste of time, but to me it is not. I enjoy these kinds of things, and sometimes this act of selfcare is all I can muster. My happiness is what matters to me, and helping others along their own path towards it. My life is not wasted, even if all I ever do is make someone smile.

I Don’t Know What Comes Next

Who does? I don’t, at least not officially. Priests don’t know, atheists don’t know, polytheists don’t know… But we may. We may know eventually, if we have any sort of consciousness after death (which I heartily believe in). And I have to remember that I don’t need to know the answer to this mystery yet. I have drifted across so many theories and religions trying to decipher it. But I can’t. And this acceptance is the basis of reclaiming the hold on your fear of death. When you accept death, you can let it go and coexist with it all around you.

Don’t focus on what you don’t know. Focus on what you do, or what you believe to be true. Do you communicate with the dead? Then you may believe they are the passed souls of Earth, and that there is an afterlife of some kind. Do you see the spirits of humans? Then you may believe that they have some sort of form in death.

I Am Afraid of the Pain of Dying

I am, too, sometimes. But then I remember that there are more people that have died than there are people living on this Earth. Death is often seen as quick, fleeting, and immediate in some cases. Of course, it is also seen as drawn out, violent, and painful. My solace when I think of the latter is that it is an experience, and if I do have to feel it, it will just be a brief period of this life that I have to accept and release. Radical acceptance is a coping mechanism my therapist taught me about. It had helped me immensely with this journey into forgiving death for all they have taken from me, and thanking them for bringing peace and rest when it is needed. I also learned to appreciate it as much as life.
