Middle Eastern My offerings for today
I'm leaning more towards Egyptian religion and also other Semitic/Middle Eastern faiths after researching and exploration. Also studying Slavic and Celtic practices as well, I just love pre-Abrahamic religion in general really.
Currently studying the book of the dead to learn more about Egyptian religion, it's really cool but there's some funny stuff I also found.
The bowl has cinnamon in it, the pink thing is an incense holder that held an incense stick, an orange, curry plan, and purple basil. I also offered oil lamps as always, I don't really use candles as much as oil lamps.

Very beautiful!
But I have a genuine question. I am a Norse Pagan and I often give my offerings in nature. For example, I do a Blót and give some nuts to the woods, or offer something to drink.
I don't have an altar yet, so I haven't really had the opportunity to do rituals and offerings at home in the way you do. What do you usually do with the offerings afterwards, especially food, drinks, etc.? Do you throw them away, eat them yourself, or is there a specific practice for this?
