Hello everyone!
I have a question for you all. What do you do with your offerings?
I have 3 offering dishes. 1 for the God, 1 for the Goddess, and 1 for the Fae.
I put special things in each, but idk what to do with the offering when I want to put a new one in the dish.
Should I find different parts of the yard and put them there? Or something else cause idk what to do. :/
thanks!

I personally like to take mine out to the stream in the woods near my hous and bury them next to it, so that way the stream can cleanse the items and then they can break down and become one with the earth again smile

I don't think we follow the same religion, so I have no idea if this is helpful at all, but for the case you'd at least get some ideas...
For me, it more or less depends on what I'm offering and to which god or spirit I'm giving it. Those offerings I give at my offering tree, I might bury near it, or even place on the tree; on the branches or hanging from them in the case of things like jewelry or decorations and such that can stay there longer. Some things I might burn afterwards or as a way of offering it. If the offering is food, I let it stay at my "altar" for an hour or two, and then either bury it, burn it or take it elsewhere and leave for animals to eat. Or eat it myself, after the gods and spirits have taken all they wish of it.
If I don't give the offering at my tree, though, I just take it to some proper place and leave it there. For example, the offerings for water spirits I take to the lake and either put in water or bury right next to it.
