I gave Housel to the Horned God of my tradition recently, and afterward, I discovered a pair of enormous Elk tracks nearby that weren't there when I first arrived. Being unknowingly overseen by this particular denizen of the Wild, during this particular rite, felt auspicious enough to me that I retrieved my phone so I could go back and take a photo of the tracks. The fact that there were only two hoofprints that I was able to see anywhere in that area was especially interesting, as the ground was muddy enough to capture all but the softest of treads. It gave the prints a very satyric feel.
A little picture of me getting together Dark Moon offerings for the Witching Mother of my tradition, including Grave Water, Black Garlic, Belladonna Berries, Storax Resin, and an Egg from one of our hens.
During my most recent Dark Moon Dapis—in which I give Housel to my Witch-Mother—I wanted to give an extra offering, in a bid for heightened protection while I take on a particularly challenging magical endeavor. In the end, I allowed intuition and omen to guide me in arranging a bouquet of Chive Flowers and Valerian Blossoms, bound together with cordage made from Cala Lily.
Some pictures of the setup from my last Dapis (oath-based Housels carried out during the Dark and Full of the Moon).

While driving across the country to get back home from visiting my family, I took a particularly rural route, which had me spending my nights in several isolated little towns. One of these nights happened to fall upon the Dark Moon, beneath which I am oathbound to undertake a Chthonic Eucharist of sorts in the name of the Bone Mother. I normally carry out these Lunar Rites within the bounds of the Yarth—our ritually sanctified Boneyard—but found myself having to play things by ear this evening.
Once night had fallen, and the nowhere-town I was in was well asleep, I allowed my feet to carry me towards a liminal place—an open field with two poplars at its center, looking like a gateway or a set of ancient pillars. Trusting in my instincts, I made my way to this Place Betwixt and gave a humble offering in the name of Holy Death.
Strange though it may have been, this ceremony actually proved a particularly powerful one for me. There is something so very wisht about prowling the overgrown lots of an alien town under cover of the Dark Moon, with only my shadow to keep me company.
Hey there!
I was wondering, what exactly is a Housel and can it translate over to a Deipnon (as in for Hekate) or Esbat working? Do forgive me for asking and best to you always!
Hello!
Historically speaking, the word "Housel" is technically an archaic synonym for "eucharist." However, it has taken on linguistic connotations with the idea of a "Witch's Eucharist" amongst certain occultists. I will only really attempt to speak about what it means within the context of my own tradition, though.
In the Wending Way, a Housel is an act of spiritual communion that takes the form of a ritual feast offered to one or more numinous entities. Any given Housel is composed of three feasting elements, which symbolically represent a sacrificial slaying. They include the Housel Flesh (a baked good—generally a loaf of bread—representing the sacrificed flesh), the Housel Blood (a propitiatory libation—generally Wine—representing the spilled blood of the sacrifice), and the Housel Spirit (pure honey, which represents the freed soul of the sacrifice.) During special occasions, a "Housel Pit" is dug outdoors and utilized as a Mouth of Offering, wherein feasting propitiations are interred after the practitioner has partaken of those offerings themselves. A Housel is generally undertaken when trying to beseech an entity or entities.
During the Cardinal Sabbaths that we observe throughout the year, specialized Housels are performed as part of larger seasonal worship, which bind one to the land, the ancestors, and the spirits. These involve traditional and oneiric rites, and probably have the most in common with the Esbats you mention.
During the Full of the Moon and the Dark of the Moon, specialized Housels are also undertaken, which serve as ritual renewal of Oathbound compacts between the seeker and their Initiators. In particular, the Witch-Father is propitiated during the Full Moon, and the Witch-Mother is propitiated during the Dark Moon. During Lunar Eclipses, a third Deity who makes up a Trinity with these two is wroshipped—sometimes called the Angel, the Dragon, or the Androgyne. These specialized forms of Lunar Housel are called Dapum (Dapis singular), and they have the most in common with the Deipnon you reference. In fact, they share etymological roots, and the Dark Moon Dapis I observe shares a lot of things with the Deipnon.
