I working with Lord Apollo now, and I love Cuban cigares (and not only Cuban) may I sacrifice that to him? I read that Apollo related to Saturn, and Saturn also related to tabacco, that's why I thought it might be an interesting option, what do you think? And of course I would never offer him usual cigarettes because of the quality

"Sacrificing" tabaco isn't going to do anything. Sacrificing your time to help the Temple, will. Extra work in Outreach, extra help for other members, and so on; this is what the Gods appreciate.

Incense usage and sacrifice are two separate things. Smoke incense all you want, within reason.

Hah, I guess I didn't put that quite right

Not inhaling, of course... Incense produces smoke, hence incense smoking. Better wording is perhaps incense burning.

Sacrifices and offerings are traditional practices. Yes, you can use tobacco, but don’t limit yourself to that—try something that doesn’t smell bad. Take a look at what the ancients actually did. They made natural offerings; the power of natural elements on the altar amplifies the god’s energy in that place. Trust yourself and your common sense.

Orphic chants are very useful. And while the methods of sacrifice vary, the gods are very compassionate and accept different kinds of offerings depending on one’s level of knowledge.

I am not an expert, but tobacco is listed as tied to Mars. https://templeofzeus.org/Incense.phpExternal ↗

Brother, i used Orphic hymn to Apollo with cigare as an offerring as well that day before, i noticed that it's really helpfull for concentration to specific God at the moment, works powerfull even if there's a lots of people who had disturbed my attention so much during the ritual

Hello Black Magick, it's beautiful you want to do something for the Gods - though tobacco is of no use to them.

What truly honors the Gods is investment in their Temple - the Temple of Zeus. Whether that’s your time contributing to the Temple or supporting it financially.

The idea that the Gods need sacrifices of herbs or food stems from misinterpretations of the left-hand mentality.

The Gods are not in need of physical substances, they need dedicated people working towards the growth of their presence on planet Earth.

Hope all is well my friend.

Greetings brother, I'm working in all directions as far as possible and as far as I have the opportunities, and as you said, the Gods need people who expand their influence, so I did a great thing when I brought a few people to our Temple at the time in past, i gonna keep working, i wish to make Gods proud
