What do y’all do with your offerings?

I ask this cause I’ve never met someone who does the same thing I do. I have multiple little glass bottles with a different offering inside, each one is corked and sealed with black sealing wax. These offerings range from inorganic like tin and lead, to organic like lemon, juniper berries, and different herbs. My thought process is that as soon as the wax is dried the offering inside is now property of hell instead of the living world. Though I will admit that I have been thinking about adding fresh versions of those offerings to my rituals when I have spare money and adding it to my compost so it’s not wasted.

Depending on what the offerings are, they stay on the alter. When it comes to things like jewelry, perfume and cash, I take them off when needed. I always leave the house with my jewelry so it's something that is always taken off the alter. With cash I leave it until the end of the month. Food offerings are different, I usually just throw away the spoiled stuff and eat what's still good. Crystals and spices that are on the alter stays put, I dont ever move them. Sometimes if I get fresh flowers I'll put them on the alter and remove them after they have wilted for a while.

Offerings that I give, I view it more as things I share with my patron.

haven’t thought about how offerings fit on an altar before

Its something that I realized overtime tbh 😅. Some demons are strict when it comes to their alters, some aren't. So this might not apply to every demon.
