What to do with Deity Offerings?

Hi Saige! Excellent questions.

Those are all great offerings for Freya. You can also add a picture of Her!

Depending on what your offerings are, you have many options. If it’s herbs or oils :herb: , you can burn them. You are then releasing the essence of the offering so that it reaches your deity.

If it’s food, :shallow_pan_of_food: it can be eaten, but also burned or buried. Sharing a meal with your deity is a sign of being at peace with Her, or an invitation.

I like to take a piece of tonight’s dinner and place it on the altar, then I throw it away the next morning. But eating the remains of food offerings and libations is always an option!

You can read a recent conversation we had in the Forum about this clicking here.

When you offer a piece of jewelry :diamond_shape_with_a_dot_inside: , you may stop wearing it to symbolize that it’s no longer yours, but Hers. You would instead keep it as a personal reminder of your connection to that deity.

But your Craft is yours only, these are just ideas and you should experiment with them!
