Hand Crafting Ideas for Offerings/Devotional Acts
I wanted to make a list of ideas for those who don't feel like drawing or painting, but still wanted to create on behalf of their Gods!
•Make fake flowers for them out of paper/tissue paper
•Cross stitch/Embroider them something they're associated with. Im embroidering a teapot for Hestia!
•Needle felt their sacred animal
•Devotional Jewlery Making (necklaces, bracelets, earings, prayer beads, ect.)
•Sculpt clay figures of your Gods/animals
•Make a polymer clay keychain/coin that reminds you of them so you can have them with you everywhere you go
•Making little trinkets/offering plates/dishes out of resin
•Wood carve their sacred animal
•Woodburn an offering plate or a pendulum board. You could also woodburn a box to keep their offerings in
•Make candles/wax melts for your Gods with scents curated to them!
•Make incense cones! They're surprisingly easy!
•Make bath bombs to take a devotional bath
•Make a specific soap to wash before prayer
•Make a diorama for their altar. I use foam/cardboard/and plastic trash for dioramas!
•Crochet/Knit an altar cloth! For more advanced, make a stuffed animal, veil, or devotional clothing
•Printing pictures/find magazines and make a physical collage of your God/their symbols/things you associate with them
•Build a mini temple for you Gods out of popsicle sticks or legos
•Take pictures of things you associate with, whether it be part of nature, animals, cozy places in your home, bodies of water, sunsets, ect.
•Start a little scrapbook of your deities
I was super inspired to make this because of the ask @khaire-traveler received the other day where they suggested origami for Apollo!
