Frigga's Correspondences

It has always been important to me to create my own table of correspondences when it comes to my craft and practice. By doing this, I refrain from using symbols and items simply because a book says that they are good for this ritual or act of magick. I use the symbols and tools that I do because they are important to me and related to my purpose not only in text but in my life and heart.

• sweet wines 
• chamomile and honey tea 
• flax seeds and oats (and most baked goods made from these) 

Other acceptable food/drink offerings include

• birch syrup
• goats milk/cheese
• breastmilk
• yuletide candies
• "spun" sugar

I have tried to make a habit of leaving a small amount of any meal I cook myself on her altar as well.
Other offerings include

• acts of industry around the home 
• spinning 
• fiber arts
• cleaning
• cooking
• charitable acts or donations to charities or organizations that particularly aid mothers and children
• telling her stories (see: Holle fairy tales and Mother Goose rhymes) to children

Taboos: (note - many of these are personal taboos put in place in my service to Frigga and may not pertain to others)

• In-hospitality
• Disarray or out-right dirtiness in the home, especially at her shrine or when approaching her shrine
• Tearing down another mother through words or actions
• Ignoring wifely or motherly duties
• Disrespecting or misusing divinatory abilities
• Disrespecting the practice of Gebo
• Putting toxic substances into the bod or on the body such as processed foods or chemical cleaners
• Cutting my hair or dying it (see above about toxicity)
• Incomplete fiber art projects after the new year
• Shaving - this is a minor taboo for me so far but she says we should not sheer ourselves like sheep.
