Say Good Morning when you wake up, say Good Night before you fall asleep
Share your food with them. If you’ve ever wanted some of your friend’s french fries, you know how they probably feel.
Donate to causes that fall under the jurisdiction of your deity. Are they a goddess for women? Donate to a women’s shelter or Planned Parenthood. Is your deity a patron of the arts? Give to PBS or local theatres.
Cook a full meal in honor of your deity. Seriously. It sounds silly but you can definitely find a regional cookbook based on your pantheon to cook a full ass feast for them.
Write them letters or notes. Keep a little notebook of notes and letters to your deity. Did you see a cute cat that you think Frigga would’ve liked? Maybe you saw a girl’s outfit that would’ve made Aphrodite drool. Let them know, or give yourself a reminder to tell them about it later.
Change your phone background. Does your deity have a temple or built pantheon? Put that shit as your wallpaper! Did you find a picture that so perfectly captures the spirit of your deity? Make it your lock screen.
Make them a Mix Tape. You know, so you can belt out songs in their honor while making your way downtown. Faces pass. And you’re home bound.
DIY your Altar. I’m not going to lie, I’m not to altar type. However, it is a fantastically personalized space that you can do anything with. So don’t let anyone stop you from knitting that mini statue of Hecate a scarf.
“Historically, the figure of the Devil had functioned as a tool for patrolling social borders, since he symbolized lust, hedonism, pride, et cetera. Freethinkers, such as libertines or Romantic and Decadent writers, were naturally quite attracted to some of these supposed vices. Satan thus came to be employed by some as a titillating emblem of various “forbidden” pleasures and urges, alongside socialist use of the figure as the prototypical altruistic rebel. Satanic feminism, as I have chosen to designate the phenomenon that is the topic of my study, reflects this spectrum of radicalism and is, as we shall see, intertwined with prominent anticlerical, left-wing, artistic, and esoteric currents of its time.2 In all these discourses, Satan was occasionally used as a positive symbol.”

Satanic Feminism - Per Faxneld
The question "does god xy will accept and like xy as offering" is a question originating from a theology where the offering will "appear" 1 to 1 before the god to eat and digest.
This question is one of the more prominent ones and can cause religious anxiety.
But this has not to be the case, if we take a different aproach on what exactly is offered and why. Do we "feed" the gods? Perhaps not. They were there before us and were well nutritioned. Just look at Thor :D
Do the Gods "need" our offerings? Perhaps not. Like I said, they exist without us and will exist without us.
So why do we offer food, drinks and votives?
@oceankeltoi made a wonderful example with his Cat where he would land on the lap of him and simply purr. This purr is what our offerings are. They have no "real" purpose but to sway and compliment the gods. We give symbolic thanks to them for what they did, do and will do in the future.
Like a toast, it helps to have some thoughts behind an offering and a pious aproach towards the ritual and the offered things.
Besides that, just because the Edda's state, that Odin only drinks Mead and Wine in his Hall, that doesn't mean he doesn't accept a nice offering of cookies and a libation of milk or anything else or he doesn't drink/ eat anything else outside the hall. Literalism is not the way.
Don’t underestimate water. Running water is a highly versatile tool. Send things downstream to banish them, sink them to bind them, bathe them to cleanse them of unwanted attributes, etc. Water can also be used as a simple offering, can be used to write invisible sigils on objects and is the one of the most important building blocks of life!
Enn:Tasa on ca Camio renich
Other names:Caim, Caym
The Fifty-Third spirit is President Camio, or Caim. In the form of a bird called a thrush at first, but afterwards He puts on the shape of a man carrying in his hand a sharp sword. Camio can be invoked for divination of any type. Wear his sigil to see into any situation you encounter. He seems to answer in burning ashes, or in coals of fire. He is a good disputer. His office is to give unto men the understanding of all birds, lowing of bullocks, barking of dogs, and other creatures; and also of the voice of the waters. Camio teaches the art of astral projection, shape shifting and flying in the dream. He gives true answers of all things to come. Caim is useful in legal functions and other situations where you need to dispute conclusions drawn by interpretations of fact. This is a handy spirit to have if a case is brought against you based largely on circumstantial evidence. He is also adept at teaching the understanding of omens and portents. He was of the Order of the Angels, but now rules over thirty legions of spirits Infernal.

⬩It is important to learn protections before trying to work with any spirits. You can get tricksters and parasites if you don't.
Cleansings- cleaning your space of negative energies. You can burn herbs or incense for this.
Banishings- forcing negative energies out of your space. The lesser banishing ritual is one of the most commonly used.
Warding- wards keep negative energy out of your space. Amulets, sigils and talismans do this.
Set up a your space and do a cleanse and banishing. Have wards up in your home. Meditation is to calm yourself and get your mind ready. The sigil (symbol) is what you draw on paper. The enn is what you chant or say to call forth the spirit.⬩

It is no secret that angels go beyond the gender binary. Lucifer, a fallen one, is no exception, and as a notorious shapeshifter they can appear however they wish at the moment. (...) But there is more to it, something that goes beyond LGBT characteristics. As beautifully exemplified in their mythos, Lucifer is the epitome of Queer.

A quick reminder that you can still be a great Satanist or Luciferian if you don't like/want sex!
Yes, in our religions (consexual) sexual pleasure is celebrated, but Satan and Lucifer also stand for freedom, for understanding yourself and choosing your own path.
You don't want sex? You're sex-repulsed asexual or want to remain celibate for any other reason? Great! It's your own expression of sexual freedom, beautiful and valid.

I started a blog on Wordpress for longer posts! This is my first one and it's about how the myths of the Fall and of Hell can give one strength to live - even when there is not much hope that things will eventually be okay.
