Not everyone is so lucky to have food that they can make or give specifically to the deities. Sometimes, great financial burdens come upon us and we don’t even know when our next meal is, much less when we should give to a deity. There is nothing wrong with not being able to afford food for deities, and having to nourish your body first.

OTHER TYPES OF OFFERINGS

-Drawings, doodles, chicken scratches that are done with the intent of honoring the gods

-Some type of arts and crafts, like sewing, weavings, handmade jewelry or statues

-Play your favorite song that makes you think of them or make up your own. Your hands and voice are all you need to make music

-Poetry, stories, hymns and anything creative

-A glass of water. Consecrate and bless it, then offer it up to a deity

-Volunteer your time at places that would please that specific deity. Clean up the forests and sides of the road for Gaea, or the beach for Aphrodite, or help out at an animal shelter for Artemis.  

IF YOU’RE DEAD SET ON USING FOOD

As someone who spent a good portion of their life being hungry, I myself cannot bear to part with food, even if it is for my Deity. I know there must be others dealing with that same struggle.

“Draw me a card!” – Anonymous

This is the most common request I get. Some psychics may well be able to draw you a card that speaks directly to your situation, but those of us who don’t identify as psychics are a bit more hard pressed for this extremely vague request from Anonymous.

Providing an open-ended question is incredibly helpful for folks taking the time to do free readings on tumblr. Guaranteed, the reading will be more accurate. 

Though I think that tarot is beautiful in its complexity and openness, and that any card can probably speak to most situations in the right context, the Tumblr ask box complicates that process. 

It’s a situation where a reading is happening between strangers (usually Anonymous), there’s no in person energy or connection to gauge, and very few people provide enough details about the situation for an interpretation to be specific, as would happen over a professional email/phone reading. 

Basically, this is my long plea to people who do ask for one card draws: 

Ask an open-ended question. (Not yes or no, not about health or legal matters - I know of no professional tarot readers who will do readings about those; the ethics are murky, at best.) Also, know that many tarot readers do not use tarot to predict the future (I’m one of them) so it might be worth puttering around someone’s blog to figure out if their style of reading suits you. 

🎀 Take mental health days, no magic just relaxing.

🎀 Stop using divination to see if you’re crush likes you or not, be courageous and ask! Just because it was divined doesn’t mean it’s 100% true.

🎀 Meditate if you have the time.

🎀 Get creative with magic. You don’t have to follow the old ways of witchcraft all the time.

🎀 Don’t listen to any witch that claims their way is the only way.

🎀 Glamours and self love spells are friends. Please cast them! They really help you feel amazing!
