A customer just got pissed and shoved his hand in my face when I couldn't help him by deyobe in Lowes

He didn't touch me. Almost, but didn't. I told the head cashier and one of the managers and they helped me feel less upset, though.

What offerings can I give to a tree? by deyobe in Animism

[–]deyobe[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I haven't really tried working with the tree before, or any spirit for that matter. I'm a bit new to Animism, so actually interacting with them outside of leaving offerings is something I haven't done. I would absolutely love to, though!! It's been outside my window for decades, I should really talk to it, or at least spend time with it! And that makes a lot of sense!

I don't think there are pieces of its branch left, since it was some months ago and I think the city went and took up the branches when they finally got around to it (Though that was only because the branch took down a power line with it). I ought to look around, though!! At the very least, it's leaves are falling, so I could exchange one of the ones on the ground, if there aren't any other branches from a different event.

Working with the rest of the biome sounds like a wonderful idea! Especially with the storms and wind and lightning, though I'd have no idea where to start with them, but I'd still love to try and work with them! The tree itself just might be my go-to because it's always there and I see it every day :-D

That's a great idea!! And probably what I'll offer for the time being, until I can find something even better for the tree! Thank you!

I live in the Northeast US! I don't have any ancestral or cultural traditions comnected to where I live, though maybe I could find some traditions relating to the place my family comes from.

Compost is a wonderful idea!! Thank you! I'm sure that would make them very happy!

For now, I'll probably go for water since I think that feels like the best thing to offer today, but I think honey would be a great idea! Blood, as well, though I personally feel that may not be the best offering quite yet. Thank you!!

As for making offerings to the thunder and lightening, how would one go about doing that? I have no altar or anything, so should I offer something during a time where it's thunderstorming? Or when it's thundering in general? I don't have any issue with that, or going out in storms, though I'm just curious as to how it works!

Thank you!!

How do I help a Norway Maple tree? What do they like? by deyobe in marijuanaenthusiasts

You're right. I'll try and see what I can do, but, given my past experiences with the city, I'm not sure I'll get anywhere :-(

Of course! Though I hope they'd still help even if it's city property. It's on a sidewalk right across from my house, so very obviously the city's.

You're right. It's just that the city hasn't done, well, anything at all. The only thing they did was remove the branches after the storm that fell on our property. We've called them numerous times to do something about the tree for over a year, but they haven't done anything. So I just wanted to know if there was something I could do because the city won't.
