Offering Candles

The concept of working with deities can be overwhelming for beginners. Seasoned practitioners know it takes time and effort to build those relationships. Starting with offerings to introduce yourself is a great first step! However, that may be easier said than done. Certainly, none of us wants to offend a god. What if that Pinterest post listing Apollo’s favorite offerings is wrong?! That anxiety led to the creation of SMO’s offering candles.

Through the creation of this site and the items within it, our hope is to make it easy for fellow practitioners to show respect and love to their entities. We take the guess-work out of choosing offerings so you have more time to honor and practice! Every demon and deity is thoroughly researched to ensure the items in our shop are the most appropriate they can be for the deity/ies they were chosen for.

Our hand-made, small-batch offering candles are the best items we can present to you. Every choice has meaning. You can trust that what you're bringing to your altar truly honors (and, even helps) the entity you're working with. So, while it may seem strange that salt or green tea or holly leaves are adorning a candle, it's because those are offerings that deity finds pleasing! And, with every candle, there’s an adornment that feeds the entity’s energy through correspondence to their particular talents. Meaning, the deity is able to use that energy to help you manifest your intention!

Every candle is created with love and respect to honor and thank pagan deities and demons for their time, attention, and blessings. Because when we honor them properly, they bless us in return. It is our pleasure to create these gestures of gratitude.

Incense

Incense has been used for centuries as an offering to the gods. Clearly, an appropriate addition to a shop specializing in offerings. Using the research for the candles, and our scented candle oil, our scents are blended to create aromas the entities - and humans - love. We were familiar with blending essential oils, so that knowledge led to the creation of our proprietary blends, which were originally intended to be additional deity offerings. However, the blends were so well received that even non-practitioners were buying it!

Now the shop offers about 30 scents – give or take depending on the season - which are categorized to help buyers find the kind they like. More than half the scents are hand-mixed with our own blends and additional unique aromas are added regularly and can only be found at SMO!
