How to properly commune with Freya? What kind of offerings?

systlin:

There’s a ton of ways to interact with any god or goddess. Trance, divination, learning to listen for their voice, ect. 

As for offerings…as with all the Norse gods, she is fond of mead. She’s fond of honey as well, and in my experience honeycomb is accepted with great delight if you can get it. 

Warm fresh bread, and fresh fruit. 

She’s fond of coffee as well, and tea. Either of these sweetened with honey is very good. She likes perfume, and fresh flowers, and cosmetics. In the case of cosmetics and perfume, she likes it even more if you wear them and enjoy them. 

Jewelry. Beautiful jewelry delights her. And same as cosmetics and perfume, it delights her to see her followers wear it in her honor. 

Boldness pleases her as well, from her followers. I dedicate my time spent training in martial arts to her; she is a war goddess, remember, and such things please her. 

Sex, if you enjoy sex. Dedicating sexual pleasure to her pleases her very much. 

Learning more about magic. She taught Odin the art of sedir, remember, and Odin holds her abilities and advice in high regard.

“Freya, Goddess of gold, inspire me today. Teach me to walk through my day
with pride in my own being, with confidence, with power. Goddess of fiery passion, bless me with the insight
to the marrow of my bones
that I am a person of worth
in the eyes of the Gods
the eyes of the ancestors
and of myself. May I radiate this
and transforms all I meet. That is my prayer for this day, oh great and powerful Goddess, that I may mirror Your presence throughout my day. In return, I shall praise You always, and lay amber before Your image, consigning it to the sacred fires that burn
when the day is at its longest. Hail Freya, shining Goddess of gold. I praise You.”

Hello, me bothering you again… I have a cat who likes to wander, he just had an uncharacteristic absence from home which worried me. I asked Freyja and Bastet to help him come home and he was back in under an hour. What would be a good offering of thanks to these cat friendly deities? Thank you ❤️

My favorite offerings to Freyja are fresh flowers (when available), and tea with honey. The flowers don’t have to be fancy; she loves the lovely wildflowers and even the lovely flowers of weeds as much as florist’s roses. More, even. 

For Bastet, bread is a classic offering. She seems to like flowers as well, and honey. 

Oh! Bastet loves milk as well, as you might expect!
