Basic Offering Ideas for Spirits

Hello! I will be making a recipe list sometime soon for those of you who want to spice up your offerings or routine, but for now, here are some easy daily offerings with a little correspondence with them, based on my personal experiences.

Apples: Apples represent a full harvest, abundance, and time spent with the ones you love. Perfect for those times when you want to recall memories you’ve had with the spirit.

Oranges: Their vibrancy, attraction, and the smell all come together to represent a life lived to the fullest. I like to think of oranges as an innocent guilty pleasure, and something easy to obtain.

Grapes: elegance, refinement, perfection. I also tend to think of being waited on and treated like royalty. Definitely good for a spirit who needs some extra attention.

Fruit in General: great for sweetening up a spirit, or showing that you find them vibrant and kind. I like to give fruit and eat another piece of fruit with them, make it a little date of sorts.

Honey: another sweetening agent. Good for spirits who are feeling low on energy, as it lasts a while and holds lots of sugar, which I often associate with energy.

Bread: fun to make, and good to customize. Have a spirit who likes a bit of savoury element to their offerings? Try adding spices, maybe make garlic bread. Alternatively, you can bake sourdough, brioche, or even some sort of sweet bread. It’s a fabulous offering for family and household spirits.

Milk and Honey: Definitely something I would offer nature spirits. It’s wholesome, sweet, and very natural. Great for those moments when you want to indulge on them.

Chocolate Milk: An alternative to milk and honey. Something I think children spirits would enjoy.

Milks in General: This includes soy milk, almond milk, etc. I find these to be good offerings you don’t leave out, for obvious reasons. Nice for rituals and for those moments when you want to be able to take it away after a little bit. Very filling and delicious.

Cookies, Cakes, and Sweet treats:

Water: I see this most often with ancestral spirits, or spirits you make offerings to on a daily basis. You can enchant it, charge it, make gem elixir with it. There’s a lot of magic in water anyway, though.

Wine/Alcohol: I find a lot of spirits request this, even though I can’t give it to them. Maybe it’s because it’s a ‘spirit’? *badum tssss* Seriously though, this is a fairly generic offering I see a lot.

Juice/Cider/Lemonade/etc: Similar to wine, but much more friendly to your wallet and to those of you who don’t drink for whatever reason. I associate this with friendship for some reason.

Platters: Grab a couple of items from your fridge or pantry, and offer it together. I most often go for grapes, cheese, crackers, and juice. I just find it to be an easy, hassle free offering that doesn’t cost much. Especially if you don’t give it in large quantities, which is totally okay with this, and any other offering really. I like this one in particular because it offers a variety of tastes and energy sources.

Drawings: Pictures, especially things you’ve made, are awesome offerings. It shows you care and are willing to spend time thinking about them. Just like any other relationship, meaningful gifts are awesome.

Photographs: Whether you see something cool outside or online, bringing them a picture that you think they would like is kind. It also shows that you know them pretty well, or are at least trying to.

Embroidery: I have a friend that makes beautiful embroidery pieces for the Hellenic Theoi, whom I worship in particular. They’re full of energy and patience and time, and I think that makes it a great offering. Not to mention they’re just nice to look at.

Sigils: Make sigils for those special spirits in your life! They can be to promote energy, happiness, peace, etc. Ask them what they would like, and make it for them. Add it to their vessel if they have one, and you got a good start.

Natural Objects: Crystals, flowers, pretty leaves, jars of sand. Glasses of water from a stream, rocks, pieces of wood that fall from trees (ask permission before taking any of these things); all are awesome ideas. They have energy, and make them lasting offerings that you can recharge and fill beck up.

Music or Sound: Play a song for them. Play your own musical instrument. Sing, ring bells, clap around. Sound is vibration, and it is energy. It is also something we like. So why wouldn’t most spirits? Ask them if they would like to hear music, or even a specific song.

Energy: Send them balls of energy, streams of it, etc. Help them connect to the moon or the Earth so they can use that as often as they need to. Basically, provide a source for them to live off of when not using your offerings. I do not recommend having them use you as an energy source, except on occasion and for a short period of time, because they can drain you, even without meaning to.

Trinkets: Find something cool at a store? Maybe you pick up a few bobbles at a thrift store. If you feel like they would want it, offer it! You never know what could make them smile, or keep them busy when you’re not home, and they’re not out and about.

Anything You Think They Would Enjoy: Literally anything could be an offering. Find what works for you and what they like. Make special offerings once in a while, too, if possible. And remember, this is a relationship, not a mandatory thing. You are doing this together, and you chose to be a friend of this spirit, most of the time.

I hope this list will help some of you get started! Feel free to add on to this list, share your experiences, etc. Happy offering!

MC’s Guidebook: Bath and Shower Magic!

Hello star gazers! It’s been awhile since I’ve made a new post, and recently, I’ve been very interested in baths and bath spells! So, I’m compiling a post of my own to go over them and shower spells.

Let’s get to it!

——————

What Are They?

They are spells performed in a bath or in the shower as you clean yourself from the days wear and tear.

How are they performed?

Bath and Shower Spells can be performed in a ritual like aspect. Usually they have ingredients, but can include crystals and candles.

How do they work?

Like any spell. They work by manifesting your desires and focusing your intent.

What do you do once you’re in the bath/shower?

Meditate, relax, read, whatever it is that the spell calls for. I usually meditate when I do a bath spell. I find it easier to astral travel here as well. I do the same in the shower as well.

What do you need for a bath/shower spell?

Your tub/shower and you. That’s all you need really, I’ll go over a spell that only needs those two things for you guys in just a second.

What are Simple Ways to Have a Bath/Shower Spell?

Here’s Links on how to make your own, but you can buy them if you don’t have the spoons to make them yourself!

Shower Disks/Melts for the shower folks

Bathbombs for the bath folks

How to use Shower disks and bathbombs for spells:

There’s someone here on tumblr who made a correspondence post for lush bathbombs If you make your own bathbombs or shower disks them you can use items based on their personal correspondences. I’ll list the item correspondences or link you to another post on the correspondences!

I tend to use correspondences to cast my intent, and use it to help manifest while I meditate in the shower or bath.

What Can Be Used In Bath Spells?

This is aiming directly at baths(if your a shower person I’ll get into how to use a sachet/pouch to do use these items), but some main ingredients and items are:

Candles

Herbs and Flowers

Bubbles

Crystals

Espom Salt

Baking Soda

Essential Oils(please dilute them with a carrier oil first)

What Do I Do With the Ingredients and Items for Baths?

You can let them float freely, put them in a sachet for easy clean up or put them in tea infuser balls(i do this a lot)! That is mostly aimed at the herbs. I don’t recommend submerging your candles or crystals in water, as that may not be good for you. Some Crystals aren’t suitable to be in water(please do your research into that) and honestly Candles in water seems pointless, unless you have floating candles then have at it!!

Okay, What about Showers?

So, for showers, shower disks work a lot like candles, giving off a scent. Most ones made by companies are meant to help with colds etc, but you can always make them just for the air around you to smell nice just like your bath.

I also recommend shower sachets.

What’s a Shower Sachet?

A Shower Sachet is something you hand over your shower head to let the water flow through it and onto you as you shower.You place your herbs, salts, essential oils in the sachet and hang it up and turn your shower on!

What Kinds of Spells Can Be Performed with Baths and Showers?

Any really, but the most popular would be self-love/care, love/romance, beauty, and banishing negativity spells.

What is an Easy Beginner Bath Spell?

For me it’s running up a nice warm/hot bath and laying in it. Say the words “This Bath absorbs the negativity on me and in me, and will drain away when I am done”. I sit and visualize myself filled with negativity, the water around me. For me negativity is black, as I visualize, the water goes black and I go clear just like the water. I get up and rinse myself off once I feel I am done.

Why Use Bath/Shower Spells?

They are typically easy to use and are good for the days you are feeling low on spoons. Especially if you are a witch with a disability.

Am I Less of a Witch if All I can Do is Bath Spells?

No, not all all. If all you can manage is a bath/shower spell then it doesn’t make you less of a witch.

Bath/Shower Spells aren’t real Magic!

That is completely up to the individual. Magic evolves with the people who practice it and it’s not going to stay the same and traditional. I personally believe bath magic is real and valid, but some might not and that’s okay. What’s not okay is bashing people for their practices that don’t pertain to you.

Even Gods start small

It’s been said many times already that the Hellenic Gods, as they are portrayed in the myths, aren’t perfect. Lately, I’ve been struck by one of those imperfections: despite being Gods, hardly any of the Olympians were born into greatness.

Zeus king, father of Gods and men, was raised by a goat and had to kill his own father before rising to power.

Hera, Poseidon, Demeter, Hades and Hestia all started their lives by being eaten.

Apollon had to travel across Greece and kill a monster before founding his Oracle.

Dionysos had to prove his existence to humanity.

Athena only received her sacred city after a hard contest.

Before Persephone was Queen of the Underworld, she was a girl stolen away, young and frightened.

Hephaistos was thrown down from the sky and never fully recovered.

Even Hermes, the most quick-witted of them all, had to go up against Apollon and trade him his lyre before being accepted among the Olympians.

So if even the Gods had to suffer, hide, prove themselves and fight for their position, maybe we should let ourselves go through the same struggles too. Maybe we don’t have to be great right from the beginning. Maybe, like them, we can take the time to forge our own path.

Even the Gods started small. Maybe we can start small too.

Witch Tip

If the thought about local spirits suddenly comes to mind while you’re thinking about something else, and you think there may be a spirit nearby, trust your intuition. We all have it. There is a firefly spirit on the train tracks near my house, and a gargoyle guarding the nearest church. I never would have known if I’d just brushed aside an intrusive thought.

Sometimes your gods know exactly what you need even if you don’t want it.
