Offering idea if you don’t want to use food

superqueerpagan:

Get a jar or other container. 

Every day/when you want, write something as an offering to the deity/spirit on a small piece of paper. It could be words of praise, a song that reminds you of them etc. Anything, really. Then put it in the jar. 

(Alternatively use small rocks or sticks and meditate while holding them, metaphorically infusing the words/mood of your offering into the thing.)

When the jar is full, use it in a ritual dedicated to the deity/spirit, or when asking for something. Maybe you’re asking for strength on a rough day or for inspiration to do well in a creative project. Or you’re just saying an extra big thanks.

Burn the pieces of paper or sticks, or throw the rocks in a lake or something – whatever (eco friendly!!) way of disposing the things you prefer. Metaphorically, you’re then reminding the deity/spirit of all your days of taking time to give something to them, and you’re letting all those little tokens go now to start refilling the jar again. 

Or you could just let the jars be and let there be more and more of them on your altar as time goes by!

☀️ offerings:

  • citrine, sunstone, or yellow calcite; lain in the sun
  • chocolate
  • burying lemon or orange based products (zest, slices)
  • singing or playing music for him, especially in the sun

🌻 rituals:

  • putting lemon or orange in your food and drink
  • wearing a token piece of jewellery that symbolises him (i wear a sun pendant)

✨ small spells:

  • holding a piece of citrine/sunstone/yellow calcite, and letting the energy flow through you
  • creating a small tune or musical chant for him, and playing it when you feel his presence
  • lighting a yellow candle and letting it burn in your space when you are working or doing anything involving creativity and knowledge
  • making lemon or orange tea, and stirring it clockwise to bring his energy to you

🌟 his prescence:

  • when the sun comes out from behind the clouds
  • music that makes you tingle
  • art that brings tidal waves of emotion to you
  • the smell of citrus

these are my original ideas that i use in my practise. feel free to use them, but do not claim them as your own ✨

“To practice witchcraft is to have a love affair with the universe as you grow in your understanding of your own Witch Power. Witchcraft requires very little of us in the beginning except an open and accepting mind, but as we grow in the Witch Power we have to continue to sculpt our relationship to the craft.”

Someone: *mentions they are a top*

Thirsty bottoms appearing from the depths of the caverns, clacking their claws together in unison, an echo of the snips in the air as drool dribbles down their jaws: Daddy
