Ancient Greeks: Kerberus was a terrifying dog, child of Typhon. With his sharp teeth and three heads, he will strike fear into your soul!

New to runes?

I found this neat five-part article series on norse-mythology.org. It gives a general overview of how the runes came to be and their general meanings. It’s a pretty short read, so if you’re interested it’s definitely worth a click.

Part I: Introduction

Part II: The Origins of the Runes

Part III: Runic Philosophy and Magic

Part IV: The Meanings of the Runes

Part V: The 10 Best Books on the Runes

MC’s Guide to Offering Jars

So I’m not the best Hellenic Polytheist. I’m not good about being able to give offerings, especially the food kind, I however had an idea today. I know people do deity jars or some extent for their deities or spirit companions. I did this so it’s easy on me and I can be fair to my deities.

Disclaimer: This is not a spell jar. This is a jar meant to give offerings and can be added on to.

What is it?

An offering jar is where you place items that won’t mold or decay into a jar. Things like dried herbs, flowers, plants, etc. Anything natural based. These items should be what your deity/spirits like. Like for Artemis I included Pine Needles, Elder Berries, Chamomile, Jasmine and a few other items that I felt represent her the most in my own UPG. These jars are placed on your altar. You will also need honey.

What Do I need Exactly?

Any herbs, plants etc that won’t decay but represent your deity/spirit

Honey

A Large enough jar for multiple uses

How to I Construct These Jars?

1. Find your jar! This jar can be an up cycled jar from an herb or anything else. Don’t worry as long as it’s cleaned out it will work.

2. Cleanse the Jar! Even though my jars were clean I still went to my sink and cleansed them with water from my tap.

3. Dry the jar out with a towel and place it on your altar

4. Gather herbs and plants that are good offerings for your deity/spirit and place them there too.

5. Place your herbs in one at a time and shake the jar up a little.

6. pour a little bit of honey into the jar when you need to make an offering, make sure your close the jar though.

7. Add a sigil in the name of your deity! If you want to.

Why Use Them?

Well Honey doesn’t mold. neither do dried out herbs and plants. You can also use the honey within these jars to aid in spells(do not consume the honey I don’t advise that). This is just my way of giving an offering without wasting it. You don’t even have to offer a lot of honey, just a little bit each time you need to make an offering for them.

Also honey is cheap and you can support your local bee keepers by buying their honey! And again you’re offering such a small amount each offering that you shouldn’t be running out constantly.

And also they’re personalized for each deity!! 

What Did you Do For Each of Your Deities?

Well again each of them were different.

Hades: Mint, Roses, Cinnamon, Pecans

Persephone: Roses, Wild Flowers, Hibiscus, Jasmine

Apollo: Sunflowers, Dandelions, Marigolds, Nutmeg, Pine needles, Elderberries, Chamomile 

Artemis: Jasmine, Wild Flowers, Pine Needles, Chamomile, Elderberries

Dionysus: Roses, Marigolds, Cinnamon, Pecans(I would have added some vines/ivy, but I don’t have any so)

Tea drinkers read this!!!

If you buy pre-made herbal tea blends (usually have names like Bedtime, Calm, etc) check the ingredients. I just saw a Nighttime blend that had St. Johns Wort in it, which can be dangerous when mixed with some medications. Talk to you doctor what herbs you should avoid. (Especially when you want to ingest st. Johns wort or mugwort) 

 A simple hint to remember is just because its in a food store, doesn’t mean its safe.
