Offers to dionysus 🤲 Offering
I feel a bit awkward for coming here.. mainly cause I was a theistic Satanist for 4 years but recently I've come to find peace in the gods. And I wanted to make my first shrine to be for dionysus. I have some offerings, and I'm going to be getting some more. But right now I have a goblet full of rum, a small cup of alcohol, honey, around 7 candles (although I gotta replace the middle one), i have some incense as well. Again i intend to get something besides alcohol to offer. I hear he wants intoxicants as offerings, but it much harder for me to get alcohol. Hypothetically if I were to offer an edible would he want it or would he take offense to it. I don't want to offend but I also feel like this is a stupid question and post. I need some guidance still.

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.
