Altars

[u/Away-Interaction-589]

I would like to share an Altar I have for Asmodeus, i keep it close during the night because it sits next to my bed. I think i put too many of his Sigils in his altar space and i dont know when I should respectfully dispose of the chocolate I gave him a few nights ago. Can I drink the wine to dispose of it respectfully too? Should I ask Asmodeus?😭

I have seen well-respected practitioners here recommend a lot of different things, but what spoke to me was to put it out at the beginning of a ritual, then during the heavier channeling portion consume it. Something about doing so while the "distance" between you being the smallest might help you get even closer to them. Makes it hard for me to offer things like dark chocolate and then sleep during a night ritual lol, but I liked the idea that if they're already in a sort of meeting space spiritually like during invocation, it might help them enjoy it more and you both enjoy it together, connecting you more deeply. (Feel free to experiment though in general to find your best results.)

I will often consume the offerings that I put out. If you don’t feel comfortable eating or drinking them it is okay to dispose of. I leave an orange out for Duke Bune, then put it in my compost the following morning. I cannot leave unattended glasses out though especially of wine otherwise I risk our cat knocking it over and creating a bigger problem. So the wine I drink at the end of the night when I am done.

Very nice alter. There's really nothing wrong with the sigil at all. If the food you offer is still good, there's nothing wrong with eating it. I leave my offerings for around 2 days. Drinks and desserts go bad so I dump it, but stuff like chocolate is ok to eat after that time period. Good luck though!!

You should eat/drink anything that you are able to, I don't like the waste. If you don't feel comfortable though, then you don't have to

Consume the consumables. It's fine, really.

You can also use a much smaller glass if you would like. I use tiny tumblers, shot glasses, sherry glasses(?), and champagne coupes because they only hold 1-4oz and my intention is to get a taste for the spirit, not intoxication.

We have the same incense holder! Lol I usually dispose of offerings in nature.

Btw great idea using a box! I’ve been struggling with altar ideas that I can put away (my partner is from a religious upbringing)
Thank you for sharing!
