DEVOTIONAL ACTS AND OFFERINGS TO ODIN

~May also serve as ideas for an altar~

Disclaimer: I have only worked with Odin briefly (for about 8 months a year ago), so while these come from experiences and research, they will not be as extensive as Fenrir's list. :)

Physical Offerings:

Feathers (Corvids typically, Raven, Crow, etc. I gave him a few hawk feathers at some point.)

Runes (As the God who discovered the Runes! I made my own rune set from natural clay and dedicated it to him, but you can also buy a set)

Drawings and Art of Him

Poetry or Stories you've Written

Candles and Incense (usually in muskier/more masculine scents)

Wine/Ale/Mead/Whiskey (Handle responsibly and legally for your country laws)

Bird Imagery (Occasionally you can find Crystal Ravens in some shops)

Spearheads and Arrowheads

A Drinking Horn

Draw his symbols (Triple Horn of Odin, the Valknot)

Red Meat, Smoked Salmon (It is said that his Wolves eat Odin's food, so meat-based offerings tend to be given)

Herbs: Wormwood, Mugwort, Ash Tree Leaves/Bark, Plaintain, Chamomile, Myrrh, Frankencence, Lavender, Valerian, Yew

Crystals: Onyx, Carnelian, Sodalite, Red Jasper, Citrine, Amethyst, Agate, Gold, Jet

Colors: Dark Blue, Gold, White, Grey, Black, Orange

Spiritual Offerings

Putting Effort into Learning (He is the God of Knowledge, after all)

Being accepting of those around you (Odin is the ALLfather, not the Somefather. Show respect and care towards people who might be different than you)

Speak out against injustice

Taking Leadership, even when it's difficult

Make Donations or Volunteer for Veterans or those who have served in War

Going on an Adventure/Travelling

Other

Give a simple offering/acknowledge his Wife and Children

Wednesday is said to be "Odin's Day" in some stores. Leave offerings or reach out to him on those days

Reminder to the White Supremacist and Neo-Nazi followers of Odin,

This is not a space for you.

Hi! I really love your worship posts and wanted to ask if you could make ones for Loki and Odin please? Thank you :)

Ways of Worshipping the All-Father Odin

(Loki's post coming soon)

- have an altar dedicated to him, as much as Norse Gods want direct and equality in communication they are fans of lavish things and flattery

- alcohol such as red wine, mead, aquavit or whiskey

- a nice chalice to pour liquid offerings into

- a mug of coffee, take a sip first and then offer the rest to him

- write and burn a poem for him

- write dramatic stories and music and read them to him, he loves drama, pour your heart into it

- share jokes with him!

- do your shadow work

- offer your pain and suffering, feel your emotions, write them down and burn them as an offering

- spend time in the woods/nature

- FLATTERY, it goes a long way with the Norse Gods

- learn and use his many names such as, the All-Father, the Victory-Father, Grimnir, Hanged Man, Wotan, Masked One, Rune God, Jolnir, Gelding, Grey beard and the One eyed Wanderer

(Knowing and using the many names is a form of flattery)

- fruit

- horse, Raven, wolf and bear imagery

- black feather, raven skulls etc (ethically sourced)

- horse shoes

- wolf pawprints, fur and teeth (ethically sourced)

- Runes: Ansuz, Wunjo, Gebo and Othala.

- learn Rune magic and Rune divination

- the Hanged Man tarot card

- dedicate a form of divination to him as Odin, being associated with Horses often led him to being associated with divination 🤷‍♀️

- a statue of himself

- black, red, grey, cobalt or purple candles

- partake in rituals and celebrations such as Sigrblót (April 15th), Yggdrasil day (April 22nd), the Last Harvest (October 31st), and Yule

- Red meats especially beef

- smoked salmon

- leaks, asparagus and garlic

- eat well! Dedicate the meal to him and his wolves Geri and Freki

- feast! Spoil yourself on Wednesdays! (And spoil Odin a bit too)

- offer your secrets and speak respectfully as you would to others, the Norse Gods prefer to be spoken to as equals

- (a pipe with) tobacco

- The Nine Sacred Herbs: ash leaves, elm leaves, parsley, woad, cinquefoil, horehound, periwinkle

- make donations to or do volunteer work at a veterans organisations

- riddles and puzzles

- many heathens say that it is best to directly commune with the All-Father and ask what he wants specifically, he is a jack of all trades deity, and encompasses many aspects such as, war, poetry, riddles, kingship, magic, inspiration, death, self-empowerment, transformation, leadership, travel, madness, academia and wisdom meaning there are so many different types of offerings you could give him

- acts of courage such as standing up for yourself or others

- be wise, know or learn your boundaries in all different areas of life, financial, spiritual, social etcetera

- learn! There is so much in this world to learn, dedicate your time studying to Odin, whether it be mythos, war history or just studying for fun or classes, dedicate that time to him, maybe even light his candle

- dedicate the 9th month of the year to your practice with the All-Father, the number 9 is sacred to him, if you can find multiple ways to incorporate it into your offerings and practice as well

- become an educator, a professor, a leader or a tutor, allow yourself the ability to learn and teach at the same time

Which crystals aren’t safe in water?

Lately, I’ve been seeing many posts and discussions about how to cleanse your crystals, charge your crystals, yadda yadda, and I noticed people really like to dump them in water BUT don’t really specify which crystals are safe or unsafe with it in their posts, which is fine until someone ruins their crystal collection or worse, their health.

Thus, here I am with a quick list I made after some snooping around on the internet, enjoy!

The major water-unsafe crystals I found are:

Amazonite

Apatite

Apophyllite

Azurite

Celestite

Fluorite, which is worse in salt water

Gypsum

Halite

Hematite

Labradorite when immersed for too long

Lepidolite

Malachite

Opal, though Australian Boulder Opal is generally safe

Pyrite

Selenite

Tangerine Quartz

Turquoise

Ulexite

this list isn’t exhaustive of course, feel free to add more

In addition please note that: some elements, like mercury, copper and aluminum can be found in crystals and are toxic in high amounts. Quartz is only generally considered safe, and it doesn’t matter what kind of water you use - if it’s been blessed, if it’s moon water - water is water and will chemically affect your crystals so please take this into account!

Source: https://amarisland.myshopify.com/blogs/news/water-safe-crystals-which-ones-are-and-which-are-not

Here is another veeeeery long list I found, but I’m not sure about it, you tell me if you’re knowledgable on the subject!

Hypothetical routine(s) and stuff for a baby witch to do

So a lot of people I think are feeling that once you become a witch you need to do lots of things, but they aren’t terribly sure what it is they are ‘supposed’ to do. Here are just a few little ideas for things you could do, if you wanted to.

During creative free time:

Write affirmations or prayers

You could write them for daily use (like a morning affirmation), one for each day of the week, one for phases of the moon, or different ones to encourage or bind emotions or help you get through tough days.

Doodle sigils for use during a later time

Be creative and have fun, as you are not ‘required’ to use any sigil you have made. 

Think about what kind of energy (elemental, herbal, animal, planetary, etc) you thin would best be used to charge each sigil

Create lists of magical ideas you would like to explore or write spells for

Don’t worry about whether something is ‘real’ enough or will work or not.

Make a list of tools you would like and tools you already have

Draw or write about your perfect ideal tools and what you expect them to do for you

Include herbs, stones, crafts, natural finds, and anything else you like

Create an inventory of things around you, in your home, or that you can easily find, for use in your craft

Write what your current beliefs are

Contemplate your current belief system and morals, and how you think magic works.

Make a list of the most important things you want to learn more about or explore

Write down your current talents and abilities and try to think of ways they can be used magically

Build altars

Draw ideas or create digital altars if you do not have the physical space

Be inspired and create them spontaneously or spend your time and research all the elements.

Try writing a spell - it doesn’t matter if you know a ‘right’ or ‘correct’ way. Just give it a try and see what you come up with!

During research time:

Research what sort of plants are local to your area and discover what their uses are

Look up the medicinal and magical uses of herbs and plants you have in the house and on your property

See if you can discover what sorts of special crystals or stones are near your area or mined close by

Take your lists of magical items you want and research their uses, both modern and historical

Try to discover not only what an item is used for, but why, and how it became associated with those actions.

Research what kind of religions and magical traditions have historically been practiced in your area

Look up lore and mythology for your geographic location

Find what sorts of helpful books are at your library, whether they be related to religion, psychology, meteorology, mythology, history, gardening, herbalism, cooking, magical traditions, or anything else pertaining to your magical education.

Find a popular pagan or magical author and research them to understand the context behind their writings and get an idea of what others think of them

Create your own reading list of library books to keep you occupied

Research closed religions/closed magical systems so you can understand what is not available for you to use, and to gain valuable information on other magical cultures.

During practice time:

Choose 2-3 energetic exercises such as these:

How to send energy to other people

Energetic Check

Distance Charging

Texting Predictions

Energy Ball

Energy Cannonball

Witch’s Guide to Programing

Witch’s Guide to Grounding

Witch’s Guide to Centering

Witch’s Guide to Shielding (Shielding Masterpost)

Witch’s Guide to Charging

Work on a couple of exercises until you feel really comfortable with them and are satisfied that you now have that skill. Then try practicing others.

Spend 50-70% of the time figuring out how to make the exercise personal to you and comfortable for you

Spend 10-20% of the time learning how to focus and get in the necessary headspace to do energy work

Write (if you want) and/or perform simple candle, knot, paper, (whatever) spells as need arises

Try spells for bringing peace and calmness in to your space, giving yourself good luck, protecting against certain dangers, causing small events to happen, or binding harmful actions done against you

Identify unique needs you face in your everyday life and try to manage and control them with energy work

During upkeep time:

Cleanse your personal spaces

Learn floor washes and keep the recipes and ingredients handy

Discover what cleansings and purifications will work for your situation

Personally cleanse

Take a cleansing shower or bath with special ingredients or using the powers of elemental energies

Do healing/balancing meditations or spells

Clean your altars and tools, keep your spaces tidy

Leave offerings to any spirits you work with

Weed your gardens, check on your plants or pets

Update your grimoire or journals

Include personal experiences, new successes, or things that you have learned

After waking up for the day:

Repeat appropriate prayers or affirmations

Spend time in meditation

You can try to clear your mind, magically make way for the day ahead, or do a guided meditation for preparedness or any other purpose

Draw a tarot or oracle card for the day

Use any magical oils or soaps as part of your waking routine

Including glamoring magic as you get ready for the day is a good way to practice

State your goals for the day with magical intent

Magically plan for free time you need during the day so it will be sure to be open for you

During snacks and meals:

Enchant food by adding in herbs or spices with a little energy and a magical command

Enchant drinks by stirring, adding energy, and a command

Give small offerings to spirits you work with by leaving a little food left over on your plate

Magically affirm that the food will bring you energy

Before going to bed for the day:

Repeat prayers or affirmations

Spend time in meditation

If you meditate when you get up and when you go to bed, try a sunrise or sunset meditation, or complementary meditations 

Identify what successes you have had that day

Push away or transform any negative energies send to you that day

Add additional protective shields for sleeping

That was all I could think of. Add more if you think of some!

The Magick of Booze: A Correspondence Table

This is my own personal correspondence table for the use of alcohol in magick. It may not match your own usage of alcohol, but if you like anything you see, feel free to adopt it. Some of this is based in what the alcohol is made from, some on its history, and some of this is based in personal experience or associations. This is not about alcohol as an offering, but the usage of it as a spell component. The list is in no way exhaustive and does not include mixed drinks or brands. Just your basics.

Distilled Spirits

Absinthe: (Air) Useful in protection work. It is especially useful for safe astral travel. Using it to draw sigils for safe travels on one’s body before leaving it can keep away nasties in the meantime.

Gin: (Earth) Useful in spells promoting good health and is good as a binding ingredient for other alcohols’ properties. It can also be a good to use if the caster of the spell lives in poverty and this is pertinent to the spell in some way.

Rum: (Water) Useful in money spells or spells for gaining other material possessions. Rum can be especially useful in a spell involving an underhanded motive or intention, especially if the results leave you with more as a side effect of the spell’s main goal.

Tequila: (Fire) Tequila is all about timing. Perfect, exact timing. It can be used in spells involving punctuality, appointments, or decision making. It can be used when something has to be done just right, as well. Never use it for something involving the past or anything about the future. Tequila is always for the present, and in this moment, as they come issues.

Vodka: (Fire and Water) Good for strength and courage. Lifting yourself up by the bootstraps and carrying on with what needs to be done no matter how hard it is or how tired you are. Can be used in spells involving getting through difficult times, motivation, pushing forward, finishing projects. Shit’s gotta get done? Vodka.

Whiskey: (Water) Whiskey can be used in spells to promote change, usually when change is unwanted by someone else. It helps bypass interference and bring the change about in ways that which opposes it does not immediately notice.

Brandy: (Earth) Brandy can be used in love spells, especially those for preserving pre-existing love. It can also be used for attracting a long-lasting love as opposed to a fling.

Fermented Beverages

Beer: (Earth) Beer is used in spells involving the home, family, and the past. It can also be used in spells involving practicality vs desire.

Cider: (Earth) Cider is used in spells for harvesting what you’ve already planted. It helps ensure that the things you’re working towards are successful and your effort is not wasted. But you must put in the effort.

Wine: (Earth and Air) Wine can be used in spells for health, stress relief, and blessings. It can also be used for spells involving standing on your own and independence.

Mead: (Air) Mead can be used for spells involving inspiration, study, education, scholarly pursuits, the arts, and oratory issues. It can also be used to sweeten the temper of yourself or someone else.

Sangria: (Fire) Sangria is good for happiness spells, celebrations, and anything involving good times and fun. It is also good for spells meant to broaden horizons and promote new experiences.

Forgetting That Ex Spell

As all things must surely have to end, and things must be left behind in the past, it’s best that we remember to carry our good feelings and happy times with us, and to discard the remnants of things that need be left alone.This spell is great for cutting out some of that pain that you endure when a relationship ends. 

What you need: 

picture of ex 

lighter, blow torch, matches, whatever you prefer 

heat safe container 

bittersweet root 

Small red sachet, baggie, mojo bag, whatever you wanna call it

Cast this spell on the night of a waning moon or dark moon is best, when it’s dark it is always more peaceful, and you won’t be disturbed. Place the picture of your ex in the heat safe container and light it on fire, as it burns down to ashes, meditate on your hurt and suffering leaving you while it turns to ashes and dust, chant the following with conviction:

“As you leave my life, I leave behind my pain. As you burn to dust, So does all my hurt. As I leave you in my past, I leave with you my sorrow.” Repeat this chant until his/her picture is reduced to ashes.  You may now throw these ashes as far from your house as possible, or bury them in a remote location with your pain and bad memories of the breakup. 

Before you go to sleep for the night, take the bittersweet root and touch it to your forehead (third eye position - thousand leafed lotus),it’s always best to have let out all your emotions earlier while doing the burning, but if you feel you need to cry or scream and let out those last bits of remorse, feel free to do so now. Let the root soak up all your bad energies, then wrap it in the red cloth or put it in the sack, tying it with three knots, and then place it under your pillow or under your mattress near your head. Sleep with it there until your ex is a piece of your dead past and they no longer affect you as an individual.

Ways to honour Thor 🌩���🍺

*These are my personal associations with Thor. Please keep negative comments to yourself. 

Read and study Thor in the Sagas, Poetic Edda and Prose Eda.

Train with weights and keep yourself fit and active.

Wear a symbol of Mjölnir, Thor’s hammer.

When there’s a storm, open your curtains/windows and watch the rain and lightning.

Go fishing!

Use the crystals red agate, iron, carnelian, and steel in your craft and to decorate your altar.

Help those in need and stand up for those who may not be able to stand up for themselves.

Eat and drink with friends and family; beer and hearty meals are good choices.

Volunteer to help at community centres, homeless shelters or charities for abused children.

Research the rune Thurisaz (ᚦ) and use it in your craft and to decorate your altar.

Spend time outdoors; go camping or for a hike.

Leave offerings of mead, beer, meat (with no broken bones), storm/rain water, leeks, onions, and objects struck by lightning.

Decorate your home and alter with reds, blues, silver, Mjölnir, thistles, statues of goats, lightning bolts, and acorns or other pieces of oak wood.

Pay particular attention to Thor on Thursdays.

“Bring me Matches” Rose Spell

a spell i performed for a friend almost a year ago when she was ready to date again that got her 7 matches on tinder, one resulting in a hook up and the other resulting in a boy she is still dating to this day. highly customizable spell for the individual.

🌹 gather: 1 large rose petal (red or pink), selenite, a small box, colored candles of your choice, green tea leaves, small object(s) that represents the sort of people you would like to attract (crayon shavings for a creative person, a coin for someone who pays for their half of the date, etc.) 🌹 optional: small crystals and gemstones for their correspondences

*for my friend, i used pink, blue, yellow, and red candles, small bits of lapis lazuli and rose quartz*

🌹 after gathering your materials, draw a pentagram and place your chosen candles at a point. light each individual candle and place your rose petal in the center to charge for 5 minutes

🌹 little by little, place the objects you have chosen in the rose petal (if you chose to include small gemstones in your spell, place them at this time. ex. rose quartz for romance and love, lapis lazuli for clear communication, etc.)

🌹 begin sealing with the wax with the intent that the color correspondences of the wax will aid your spell promote the sort of relationship(s) you wish to gain through this spell (red candle wax for a passionate romance and/or lust, pink candle wax for more soft romantic energies to come, yellow for someone you can be happy with, will be like your best friend, and promote ease of communication, blue for someone you can feel relaxed with, white for something serious, etc. etc.)

🌹 while the wax is still warm, press the green tea leaves into the wax as a quick, fast-acting love catalyst. to quickly bring new romantic energies and passion. (green tea can also promote sexual health)

🌹 once the wax has set, place the rose petal and the selenite into a small box. the selenite is to help cleanse negative energies from affecting your spell

🌹 leave in a window to charge until satisfied

*disclaimer: the spell is fast acting and rather powerful, especially when red wax is used. as such, if you feel that your sex life is getting a bit out of hand, do remove the box from the window immediately so it will stop charging. i had to do that with a friend after an abrupt pregnancy scare a week later*
