A Day in a Life:
OFFERINGS, TO MAKE OFFERS TO THE GODS
25 Feb 2017

In many Pagan and Wiccan traditions, it's not
uncommon to make some sort of offering or sacrifices
to the gods. Bear in mind that despite the reciprocal nature
of our relationship with the divine, it's not a matter of
"I'm offering you this stuff so you'll grant my wish."
It's more along the lines of "I honor you and respect you,
so I'm giving you this stuff to show how much I appreciate
your intervention on my behalf."

In our modern days, this Pagan practices still practiced
by many of us not only in the society or community,
or by a certain group, religious sect or the church-
we also observed this in our working places
or in schools or in any attempts to do so
just to please our bosses or superiors to
grant us our wishes or requests- in the likes
of higher pays, bonuses, higher grades, 
give us vacations, etc, etc...

And so in return or in exchange 
for these wishes or requests
to be granted, we offer them something,
or even bribe them the kinds of expensive
valuables, or do what their personal interests, 
honors or even unending work for them
just to make sure we get what we wanted for.

Some get envy. Others get mad. And these
lucky people travel or enjoy leisure while the rests
work hard to earn a descent kind of living...

This is life anyway. Tsk!
