Offerings to God Osiris
Osiris is one of the lesser-worshipped deities of the Kemetic Pantheon. He is the god of regeneration/prosperity and reincarnation, and somebody you want to turn to when finances are low. He is also a God of the dead, next to Anubis–somebody you can turn to when you are in mourning, fearing the death of someone you love, or when exploring your past lives.
Bones, or bone-related imagery (sculpted works)
Skulls, real or not. You can’t ever go wrong with skulls, especially if they have plants growing on them (Symbolic for the cycle of death and rebirth)
Patching your own physical wounds, as well as those around you
Cloth bandages make very good altar items
General death-related artwork. Artwork in general made for Him is a good idea
Imagery of him and his wife Isis
Jewelry, preferably made of real gold and with real gemstones (offering ones you already own are fine)
Precious or semi-precious crystals, especially in the raw
Anything gold, real gold or gold plated– gold was very important to the ancient Egyptians
Fine cloth, or clothing made of fine cloth (Think of what you’d make a dress out of)
Things of generally high monetary value
Alcoholic beverages
Comfort someone who is in mourning of some kind
Visit a cemetery or graveyard and pay respect to the dead that rest there
Study a tragic event. Muse over how the world has changed, or is changing, for the better since said event. For example, the Titanic disaster that killed hundreds of people; how have things changed for ship safety since then? Where are all those souls now– reincarnated, perhaps, into better lives?
Incense; any kind will do, even cheap stuff, as long as you enjoy it
Home-grown/garden-grown items
Further Tips;
Keep in mind that Osiris was a king at one point; this is why He has taste in finery and expensive things. He is just a bit picky.
If you are unsure of an offering, ask Him yourself if He’d like it!
Don’t feel discouraged if you can’t afford expensive, fancy things as offerings, or have no use/desire for such things; find what you can, or ask Him what He would like yourself.
Thrift stores; some people throw away very valuable items and you can buy them for very cheap. I’ve bought real silver trays and chalices for less then 3 dollars a piece–you can have better luck depending on where you go.
Though Osiris has very fine tastes, He doesn’t ask for many offerings or rituals, so don’t feel bad if you can deliver consistently or often. He’s quite patient, too.
If you desire consistency, keep a box of incense on hand. Every so-often, offer one or two cones/sticks as a small offering on your altar.
Things you offer that can be turned into spell components are best used in spells regarding prosperity, money, grieving, or deathwork. He will appreciate the thoughtful use of how you use them, too.
