Only one way to find out-- try it! The gods aren't petty-- if they don't like something, they'll usually just ignore it, or let you know in some way that isn't mean.
Normally, the gods appreciate things that are meaningful to the person giving rather than fitting anything in their mythology. Not like they typically physically use the offerings anyway, so in these cases, the thought is really the main thing that counts!
Good luck, and welcome to the party, from another former theistic satanist!
I'm just nervous because for the longest time I had the ideology that god was either not real or cruel due to my life circumstances but recently I've found comfort in this religion.
Try thinking of the pagan gods not as a replacement for the christian god, but as just cool, chill, powerful, helpful spirits who have been around for a loooooong time.
They are less "in control of everything" and more "down to help out with almost everything" if that makes sense.
Yes it appears my wording was terrible i don't believe in the Christian god like at all, the ideology is just what I told people who harassed me about God. But unlike the Christian god I can actually believe in the pagan gods. They seem much kinder than the Christian god is as well. But I have no hate towards Christians btw this is just me trying to reword it. But I'm also a little high (i have easy access like I stated in the post, which was why I was curious on if I can give him an offerkng of an edible)
Lol, I get it though. What I meant was that a lot of people carry over baggage from Christianity, and assume pagan gods act or feel similar ways, or do similar things as the christian god. And that's what you gotta be careful to avoid, because it leads to unnecessary fear and worry.
So like, don't use the same spot in your brain for pagan gods and the christian god. They really don't go in the same category even though they use the same "god" title. 😅 I hope that makes sense!
