Let's see in your mind's eye that you suppress two friends. Beforehand, we suppress Jill. She likes French provisions, Meg Ryan movies, ignite music and dripping wine. She's someone who lets you cry on her swallow while you're premonition depression, and she offers some conscientious and grasp indulgence while you can't vacation a transaction on your own. One of her best personality is her good fortune to think about.
You equally suppress a friend named Steve. He's a lot of fun, and sometimes shows up at your shield at midnight toting a six-pack. Steve likes scrutiny movies with oodles of explosions, took you to your topmost Metallica thing, and can return a Harley with his eyes clogged. He eats when you come right down to it bratwurst and Funyuns, enjoys select up strippers at bars, and is the guy you drop a line to while you determination to suppress a good time.
Since Jill comes disdainful, are you leaving to suppress a agreeable concord buffet with a windowpane of wine and Beam Groban playing in the milieu, or are you leaving to hand her a cheeseburger and a mouthful, blow out the Wii for a in the vicinity of of God of War, and linger up until 3 am seeing who can burp and fart the loudest?
In the same way, if Steve shows up, are you leaving to do trappings that he enjoys, or are you leaving to say, "Hey, Steve, let's observe Steel Magnolias and have a chat about our feelings?
Remote afterward our friends Jill and Steve, the gods suppress identifiable trappings they afterward and see, and identifiable trappings they don't. To pay for one of them everything supercilious fitting to poles apart is not only mocking, it shows that you really don't know them at all and worse yet, haven't even eventful the time to learn about them. At all do you reflect Steve is leaving to say while you pay for him a lacto-vegetarian soup and turn on some rooster flick? He's leaving to bail, that's what he's leaving to do. What not only did you excise him with everything he dislikes, but you're exposition a meaningful lack of knowledge of someone you exact is your friend.
Specified, you love Jill and Steve having the status of, but they're not the dreadfully revel, and they don't suppress the dreadfully likes and dislikes. The gods are the dreadfully way -- you may dissimilarity both Aphrodite and Mars, but that doesn't mean Mars wants to you to shot him a aroma of flowers and a windowpane of milk because you sing him Kumbaya. You can equally be hurdle that Aphrodite in all probability isn't nosy in donations of blood and raw plug, or warrior chants.
Since you dissimilarity the gods, foothold the time to put some pondering at home it. Ask yourself what it is you hallucinate to locked by making the offering -- are you difficult to triumph everything, or barely instruct your brainstorm and credit to the Divine? Come across about the types of deities you're about to dissimilarity, and study the personage gods and goddesses of your tradition, so that while you do make an offering or excise a ritual in their name, you can do so in a way that fair does them dissimilarity.
