The Informed Pagan


The Informed Pagan is a collaborative Pagan community that can be used as a resource for learning more about the various religions and practices that fall under the Pagan umbrella. A place where one can ask any question and expect thoughtful, honest answers, based not only on collective experiences, but currently available scholarly research.

Founded by a group of Pagans from various paths, we are dedicated towards promoting responsibility and integrity within the Pagan Community, through knowledge and awareness. Paganism is a very broad topic, and there is a ton of misinformation that has been perpetuated over the years, and unfortunately, very little has been done to stop it.

Most of us started out, as many do, rather “fluffy”, not knowing what we were doing, and often trusting what we thought were reliable resources, only to find that we’d been misled. The misleading wasn’t always done intentionally, but it was clear that there was a serious lack of genuinely reliable resources for those who were seeking a Pagan path. In talking about how far we had come and how embarrassed we were at some of the things we had once said and written (and yes we have ALL been there), we felt strongly that more guidance should be available for Pagans of all types. Talking about this wasn’t enough, and we decided we needed to take action. Which brings us here, to TIP.

The Informed Pagan is for anyone who needs a bit of help navigating the world of Paganism. If you are unsure of what you should be doing, which authors are reliable, or even what you believe, just ask. ALL QUESTIONS ARE WELCOME!! We have the knowledge and experience

How to make a libation. Super simple picture edition!

satsekhem:

Get a glass. Or a cup.

Or you can have something fancy especially for libations. Like this;

image

Decide on your offering of choice.

image

Staple libations are milk, alcohol (That’s Zeus’ special cinnamon vodka), water, wine or juice.

Tap water is also fine!

image

Place your container on a clear space. Altar/shrine whatever you have.

A basic offering prayer would be.

‘To/For Zeus! Loud Thunderer.’

That’s it. Doesn’t have to be fancy, though you can add as much or as little as you’re comfortable with.

image

Now wait. Leave your offering wherever you’ve placed it. For five minutes, hours. However long you want to leave it there.

image

Dispose of your libation outside. (It was chilly). If outside is not an option, pouring it down the sink is entirely acceptable.

image

Go forth and make offerings to the Theoi!

Yo, Kemetics! You see this? This is pretty much precisely how it would be done for the netjeru. The only difference would be that the libation would, usually, be ingested afterward.

This is usually how I do both libations and offerings, fwiw
