I got a devotional necklace for Thanatos (it's a cute little charm shaped like the alchemical symbol for death) and I am trying to think of a fun way to cleanse it and devote it to him, but holy hell this term has been rough and I haven't had the time 🫠

Offerings to Thanatos

This is by no means an exhaustive list! These are just (some) examples of what offerings I've found to be well received by Thanatos through working with him. Some of these may be UPG.

Plants and Herbs: Calla Lilly, Lily-of-the-Valley, Water Lily, Anemone, Chamomile, Chrysanthemum, Heather, Oleander, Willow, Poppy, Tuberose, Valerian, Wisteria, Crepe Myrtle, Carnation, Holly, Calendula, Mint, Mulberry, Parsley, Thyme, Dragon's Blood, Oregano, Elder, Cypress, Deadnettle.

Food and Drink: Pomegranate (juice, seeds, etc.), Blood Orange, Black Coffee (or tea), Red Wine, Chocolate, Beet Juice

Crystals and Gemstones: Smoky Quartz, Obsidian (black, snowflake, gold sheen), Onyx, Tourmaline, Black Kyanite, Hematite, Scolecite, Bloodstone, Plumite, Jet.

Activities: Lighting Incense, Cleaning (ethically sourced) Bones, Pinning (ethically sourced) Insects, Transitioning, Making Healthy Changes, Reading/Researching Thanatos, Reading/Researching Funerary Rites and Learning How Other Cultures Honor Their Dead, Cleaning Up Graveyards, Death Meditation, Creating and/or Listening to a Themed Playlist (mine is here).

Animals: Butterflies and Moths (if you are pinning dead bugs please ethically source them!), Ethically sourced bones of any kind, Ethically Sourced Feathers (especially dark colored ones), Cicadas and other winged insects (again, cannot stress this enough, please ethically source your dead animals), Replicas and Art of Bones and Butterflies/Moths also work if you don't want actual dead things in your home!

Miscellaneous: Black or Dark Purple Candles, Leather or Earthy Scented Candles, Dead/Dried Plants, Black Silks and Lace, Music.

Most Importantly remember that Thanatos watches over gentle, peaceful death. Anything done with violence, hate, or negativity will dishonor him and may seriously offend him.

I'd like to follow more spoonie witches, having a hard time relating to wanting to do all these elaborate rituals on my dash. Please interact with this post if you are a spoonie who practices witchcraft so I can find my people!

Trying to find a decent substitute for myrrh that isn't "just use frankincense, that's the substitute for all resins." Buddy, if that's how frankincense works do you think I would ever have any other resin in my life?

One downside to having access to the internet is people tend to mush information from around the world down until suddenly modern magic is just "this one ingredient can do all of these many things!" Have you ever considered the reason one ingredient has so many variations on it's associations isn't because it's all-purpose, but that instead there are regional meanings that different cultures assign to the same thing? Sure, in some cultures myrrh and frankincense can be substitutes for each other, but in other places not so much.

Also what if I want a substitute that isn't a resin? What if I want a herb that has the same properties as myrrh? Or a crystal? Or literally any fucking thing, why do people assume a substitute has to be the same type of thing? We are substituting based on magical properties carried, not physical properties present.

Aaa I forgot to post this earlier, I made a cute little spirit waystation! It's got ethically sourced graveyard dirt, my own special herb mix to promote peace and encourage healing to help with moving on, clear quartz chips, and an obsidian headstone. I'll eventually replace the tealight with an electric one to prevent a fire hazard with my rowdy cat but here it is lit! I'm really proud of this offering 😊🖤

I wanna play Stray soo fucking bad!! Wanna be a cat in a robot post-apocalyptic world and meow a lot. I'd even stream it if my computer could handle it, but alas I do not currently have a spare $30 for the game.

Gaming vicariously through CallMeKevin's playthrough of Stray because I think we play games pretty similarly: Fuck Around and Find Out and potentially Break the Game.

I used my new osteomancy set that I personally curated (as opposed to buying a premade set) for two clients this week and they both left pretty positive reviews, so I think it's safe to say that I'm pretty happy with the set I put together! :)

After I'm a bit more comfortable with it I may add bone readings to my shop.
