So ive got a deity in mind and i was trying to offer something and i realized: my mom does NOT let me burn stuff. besides, i do not like burning anything! Is there any way to make offerings without burning it? Oh yeah, what are sone examples of offerings?
Before jumping into deities, why not do some of your own research on them. Forming a relationship with a deity isn't something that you enter into randomly or on a whim, same goes for the deity/s you choose to work with, often it takes years for your deity to call to you, or you can bond with one that you feel drawn to, but it all takes time and isn't instant. .
Offerings differ depending on the deity, some prefer items, flowers, some incense, liquids, etc. It all depends on your deity/s and also your relationships with them, some deities will ask you for specific offerings while others you can be more flexible with, others may not want physical items at all. These things develop with time and work to discover, asking a forum with people who work with different deities than you isn't the best way to undergo finding information regarding your personal relationship with your deity/s.
It's not something you decide to do one day without research on your particular deity and information regarding deity worship.
I'll try to find more info on how to work with the deity I chose. Thanks again, Rikki! (PS I was calling it deity because that's what everything else called it.)
Almost all deities can be worshipped by either gender, regardless of the deity's gender.
What god or goddess do you want to worship? I will tell you an abundance of information on Him or Her and what practices, rituals, offerings and sacrifices you should make involving this god or goddess. I can also look for one or more deities for you if you tell me how many and the desired characteristics.
Different deities like and prefer different things, but you could start off by leaving apples on an altar or burying apples underground. After the apple rots or decomposes, the apple, fresh and juicy, again, is eaten by the immortal. The apple is the fruit of the gods, very healthy to eat (do not eat what is left on an altar,) and can be used for good health magic such as good health, healing and immortality.
You can also start off by killing insects as sacrifices to the gods. The insects' spirits will be with the gods.
hi, GEV, i deleted my account but here i am again, and I was thinking that Apollo would be my choice. Also if there are any other good deities that you would like to recommend, feel free to!
also for characteristics, i would say not too stern but probably not too self-centered, if you can even call a god that. I would probably like 4 or 5 extras just in case.
