Themoonishappy - Holding A Fruity Drink Hostage

In honor of me absolutely fucking hating the elitism I'm seeing in the heathen paganism community here is a list of all rounder offerings that work for every spirit, deity and anything else you can think of in the realm of the Norse mythology.

- Apples, literally any kind works but from my own experiences yellow apples are preferred.

- Honey, just honey. Or diluted with water as a drink.

- WATER!! A GLASS OF WATER!!

- Mead, doesn't matter if it's cheap. They love mead

- oats, seeds, nuts. Anything of that domain

- Potatoes, Sweden has a long history of survival through potatoes.

- Tea. Throw one of those teabags into a glass of water and leave it out overnight. Boom baam done offering given.

- oatmeal!!! You just need oats and water!!!

- pinecones, leaves, branches. Literally anything you can find in a forest can go on an altar and work.

- seashells, trust me it just works™ for the ocean aligned ones.

AND THE CHEAPEST OF THEM ALL

- literally just their name in runes scribbled down on a paper, make it into a bindrune and decorate the paper with other doodles.

Point is. For a long time Sweden was poor, we didn't have fancy stuff to offer. So we used what we had and we still do.

And guess what!!! IT WORKS!! IT WORKS AMAZING!! AND IT'S AUTHENTIC BECAUSE YOU'RE THE ONE PREPARING THE OFFERINGS AND GIVING THEM!!! THAT'S WHAT COUNTS!!

so in conclusion fuck the classist assholes who teach that offerings have to be expensive and down to detail perfect. That shit is false and doesn't matter.

YALLSTARION

I've seen too much edits of yallstarion... yes.

For any writers who want to have woodland settings and woodland creatures but don’t have much experience in forests (particularly at night):

Deer are not as magestic as you think most of the time. They’re kind of derpy and will stare you down for uncomfortably long amounts of time mainly because they can’t decide which way they want to run. They end up running in circles anyways

Deer also blow air at threats as they run away, which sounds kind of like an out of breath scream. Do with this what you want

Squirrels don’t care who or what you are, they will bark at you from the trees. This is also a startling sound for someone who doesn’t know what the screeching above them is

Squirrels are also not quiet runners. If the forest has leaves on the ground and you hear what seems like the thunderous approach of some giant best, 8/10 times it’s a squirrel

If said sound is not a squirrel, it is likely an armadillo (if this forest is in the southern US/upper South America. Idk where else they are)

Armadillos make a lot of noise when walking through leaves and look funny, but they’re really kind of harmless and just don’t know where they are most of the time (very blind, not fast, but polite and waddle away if someone screams because of them. I would know, I was there when I saw this happen.)

Coyotes scream. It’s terrifying. Sounds like murder. It means they likely aren’t interested in you though (unless it’s in your ear)

Coyotes are kind of small, think a step down from a lab. Wolves however are a LOT bigger than you probably think

Hogs don’t care who you are or what you’re doing. They’re charging. They go for the knees and then tear you apart when your down so I hear. For anyone scared of the coyote screams, I’m here to tell you this is a MUCH bigger threat

Everything’s awake at night, but it’s not too terrible to walk if you have enough moonlight and a fairly good idea of where you’re going. 9/10 times if you stomp through, animals will leave you alone (the exception being squirrels which still scream as though they didn’t hear you coming)

Turkeys can attack, but brobably wont. Just give them their space or scream and you’re good.

Turkey’s also travel in groups most of the time, only really separating around mating season, so it’s pretty common to have a line of birds just walts by loudly

Raccoons are cool, but will not tolerate invasions of privacy. Don’t try to get close to their trees and you’re good

Same goes for possums. Possums are still a bit more chill than people give them credit for though, and will not attack unless it’s their only option (they hiss or play dead)

The only time to be worried about scurrying or footsteps behind you is if you hear a large branch break. That’s the 2/10 that isn’t a squirrel. Still, it’s most likely a deer so don’t worry too much

Let me know if there’s anything else you want to know about and I’ll see if I know anything that could help!
