I know many of you have your patrons/matron gods and goddesses. How do you present your offerings? What sort of offerings to you give to honor and respect your deities?

Sadly I haven't gotten that far into my worshiping of Flora yet,but I'm most likely going to start having fresh flowers around the house. Once i get a full garden going.

How do you present your offerings? I have a plate or a bowl that I put them on, I either do it during ritual or do it when I feel that it is needed. It is regularly, more like a weekly thing.
What sort of offerings to you give to honor and respect your deities? It depends on the type of deity you are giving your offering too. Recently, I have started honoring Lugh. I have noticed the lack of "male" aspects in my practice. So I have Morrigan and then I have Lugh. I am getting into the Habit of honoring and respecting all the "main" celtic deities of the Tuatha Dé Danann . Edit: I didn't exactly answer this all the way. For offerings, I give bread, honey, flowers, wine. But It all depends on what deity likes what. Oh, for Morrigan I give blood.

To present - I put my offerings on a silver tray and generally I use the standard water (although beer is acceptable), bread and incense. Along with spoken honors and thoughts. On a personal level, blood can be good for certain things. I do offerings during rituals and certain celebrations throughout the year.

I haven't decided which one I like best so I'm just using water for now. But I think the stronger the better.

Food and drink no as for the incense I do let it travel around me but when I put out the offering I feel it is all for the gods and I never even thought about sharing it.

That is how I feel about it. Yes, I agree our Wiccan phase just made for some terrible practices. I can't say I'm right, but it's just how I feel.

It's not handpicked yourself but it would be something you could do immediately. At our giant you can buy herb plants.
