    For some reason your videos make me feel emotional, sometimes I tear up at random moments when you’re just talking about regular information. Perhaps it’s because I feel like I’ve been searching for something for so long and by finding your channel I have this innate feeling that I found it, so thank you.

    I've sat outside and played favourite songs or ones that reminded me of deity on my phone XD This past weekend I invited them to watch a musical with me if they wished and made popcorn to put on their altar. I didn't know if that counted as weird but after hearing your example, I guess so XD ♡

    A little late to the party here, but I guess I can say my “weirdest” offering has been my sweat. After I workout I’d sometimes wipe my hands on my altar as an offering, showing that in pushing myself and connecting to the “masculine”

  • @jiliciar.1423

    I just started devoting to Bastet so I don't have a lot of experiences, but I would say the weirdest thing I have given to her so far as an offering were marshmallows. It's weird because turns out she doesn't like sweet things. I never intended to devote to a deity then I felt it in my heart to devote to Bastet and she accepted me, so I didn't know much about deity work and I remembered a witchtok saying that gods and goddesses love chocolate, so I was offering her chocolates & marshmallows because it was December and we had a lot of Christmas snacks. I had the idea to ask her if she likes those things through a pendelum and she said no, she loves wine tho, I gave her some yesterday and she took a long time to be finished with it. I'm in the closet because I live with Christian family who are not open minded to these things so I communicate to her mainly through a homemade pendelum and her altar is right under my pillow. This all happened literally December 2023.
    Edit: I forgot, I was also offering her sweet juice and obviously she didn't like that either. I even asked her if she would like some cake this morning (just to be sure) and she said no. 🙂 So she's not really a sweet tooth typa goddess.

  • @carmensavu5122
    @carmensavu5122 3 ปีที่แล้ว +25

    I love so much the idea of using sex and sexual pleasure as an offering. Sex seems to be my primary spiritual language. When I think about deity worship that's the first thing that comes to mind. I feel drawn to the Slavic god of lust Jarilo and he seems to love my sexual pleasure as an offering. My devotional activity also involves learning about different aspects of sex (tying into my BDSM leanings), and cultivating certain values regarding the way I relate to my partner.
    I also enjoy intellectual pursuits and needle crafts, and those I connect to Jarilo's adoptive father Veles.

    I have gotten this mental picture: planting a tree in the garden as an offering. It could be a specific tree species in a particular part of the garden. So, yes, I think it's awesome, an offering that grows and changes with the years and seasons... How cool !

    Though supporting a Veteran organization can be a great sacrifice to Odin, I would say Eir is more appropriate. More so since there is known SPG of Eir being associated with mental health as well as healing. Which is what most Vet organizations do.

    • @TheNorseWitch
      @TheNorseWitch  ปีที่แล้ว

      I would disagree with that. While I think any kind of donation to any (mental) health organization is a great offering to Eir, a donation to a veteran organization is especially fitting for Odin because of his connection to Valhöll

      You could definitely do that! Then it doubles as a physical offering and a devotional act. But make sure to not wear it randomly then, especially once you’ve stopped working with that deity. Because in the end you have given them that item as a gift, so it’s not yours anymore.

      In my opinion it completely depends. I have cats for example so I can’t leave most foods out for a long time. Some people even eat the offerings, and that’s also totally fine. And when it comes to disposing of the offerings… again it depends 😅 if you have the option to dispose of it in nature and it’s something that the animals around you can safely consume - of course it’s best to dispose of it in nature because that way the offering can be used further.
