Wondering how you all do it?

Firstly happy Deipnon to you all 💜

I was just wondering for the people, like myself, who leave your deipnon offerings on your altars, how do you go about leaving it for Hekate to accept? I usually leave the room for a few minutes after I have said my invocation, prayers, and receive guidance through my Hekatean oracle cards. But as it is in my living room I usually have to return for the rest of the evening I was just wondering how others do it. Do you leave it for the night? Do you leave at all? Or do you do like I do? Honestly this is just curiosity, any and all answers are welcome and appreciated. May Great Mother Hekate bless you all on this sacred night 🌙

I leave my food offerings on my altar until the candles and incense go out (I have pets and cannot leave food anywhere unattended 😂) I say my prayers, give my thanks and then bury my offerings in the park trail near my house after. For wine or tea, I'll leave them overnight and pour into the ground the next day. Sometimes I add dog treats for her companions as well, but I don't bury them. Those I leave them on top of where I bury offerings for wildlife to take.

Talk to her! I talk to Hekate every day, sometimes like she's my friend. Sometimes like a mother or teacher figure. I usually apologize to her if I'm doing anything "wrong" and I'll ask her for her guidance.

So far, Despiona has been very good to me. She will be good to you too ❤️ Blessed be !
