UPG Offerings

[KittyVel]

Yes.
I usually only hand her over home-made meals, but pizza with ham is something she seems to find to her liking. I had offered that just in one other occasion, and I had gotten excellent vibes out of it. I had totally forgotten until I was there sitting before my pizza and felt her so strongly, lol. And I received this strong sense that she wanted first dibs.
And to further proof, after she had it, she went back to being quiet.

Haha that's kind of cool actually. I wonder if Anpu has any odd things He likes that He hasn't let me in on yet...Never know til ya try, I guess.

I suppose you might ask and see what He sends your way.

Sekhmet likes white tequila. This is really, really new.

And umbrella toothpicks. (Papa Legba likes those, as well, since he's the reason I bought them in the first place.) They both like them to garnish their cocktail glasses.

Haha, He told me to get him some more Chocolate, and He also wants half of my dinner tonight. Some chicken in a new marinade and roasted potatoes. I think He really likes chicken and steak!

Not to sound too stupid or ignorant, but what does one do with the 'left-overs'? I haven't really tested the offering waters just yet.

For food and drink offerings, it depends on your tradition. Some people bury them outside, and some consume them.

As Firanza said, it depends a lot on the tradition you follow, and a lot on the possibilities you have.

I do offerings to mostly Greek deities, so my iter consists in leaving the food/drink on my altar for a 'suitable' time and then announcing formally that I will return it to the god/goddess through my body... and therefore eating it. Occasionally, it felt like i was receiving an 'okay, eat now' from above as the scent of food became suddenly stronger and stronger. Some other times, the food begins humming to a rapid energy beat in my hands as i offer it, i lay down as it keeps humming and I eat when it has stopped. I am still wondering if and how the eventual 'signals' happens to other people tough.

I do often an exception for liquid offerings as I grow some plants sacred to my Lady on my balcony, so it feels appropriate.

I should add that once, as offerings for Hekate were left to the crossroads, I tried doing it that way, too... unfortunately, with me having no car and living in one busy urban area, it really became too impractal.

So,what you ever offered to your gods or spirits not-traditional offerings and had them enjoy it? What inspired you to give this offering to them?

Or have they asked for more 'unusual' or unexpected to you?

I'm suddenly feeling the urge to offer home made tacos to Anpu. <O.O> I'm not sure what that's all about, but I guess I'll follow the tugging and do it...Hopefully it's really Him wanting them and not just my imagination. I suppose I'll update when I'm done. XD

Anpu just asked me for the animal crackers I was munching on... He has this habit of demanding the snacks I'm currently eating.

...He liked the tacos I gave Him. I never thought of Him as much of a taco guy. XD
