"I get a lot of questions involving what to offer to the Vanir, so I’ve decided to compile a master list of suggested offerings. The following list has been cobbled together from many different sources, including the UPG of those who honour these deities. Please use discretion when making use of this list, and remember that relationships with deities are highly personal, so it’s quite possible that a deity might not want any of the things listed in their section when you start working with them. Njord seafood, particularly if you’ve caught it yourself grog (water and rum), or rum, associated with sailors lemonade ships in a bottle paper boats Freyja strawberries raspberries chocolate things made of gold amber roses cinnamon (I’ve had success with cinnamon buns) sweet, “feminine” scents like vanilla and jasmine sexual fluids hemp rye (Swedish folklore says that Freyja watches for when the rye is ripe) flax pork sweet liquers dessert wines caramel Freyr honey grains (esp. wheat, but substitute your main cereal crop) gold sexual fluids penis-shaped things antlers (note: check and make sure that it’s legal in your area, dealing with animal parts can get dicey in some areas) note: opinions on whether weapons should be allowed near Freyr’s altar are mixed, from what I’ve seen, the majority are not in favour of placing weapons on his altar unless they are a) broken, or b) peace-bound, please use discretion Nerthus root vegetables pork grains corn dollies (you can offer them by “drowning” them in a bathtub) bogberries (blueberries, cranberries, cloudberries, bilberries, huckleberries and lingonberries) peat moss bog myrtle birch beer (and other birch products) Gerda herbs herbal teas root vegetables Skadi representations of wolves rabbit meat vodka frozen drinks pelts (especially from animals you’ve hunted) ice and/or snow (may seem a bit redundant, but apparently it’s been well-received) venison"
