How to say thank you?
« on: June 29, 2015, 09:27:13 pm »
I recently did a very small, fairly amateur ceremony and prayer to Cerridwen asking for help in making some major life changes regarding my health. Well, did She ever come through! Astounding changes occurred and I am over the moon.

I was raised to write thank you notes when given a gift - how do I go about thanking Cerridwen for this tremendous gift of strength?

ETA: What else can I do to keep up with our connection?

P.S. I was on this board maybe a month or so ago asking about what diety I might be in communication with, got some great help and answers that pointed me in the right direction, and Cerridwen is the one. :-)

A simple thank-you note might just be enough to send the message to Cerridwen. Another option could be an offering of something she likes as a means of showing gratitude.

I tend to keep my offerings and "thank you's" simple. I'll light a tea-light candle or leave a small amount of water out in a glass I use strictly for offerings (later on, I add that water to the birdbath out back). Sometimes, I'll light a small stick or cone of incense. In my experience, it's the thought behind it that counts...the acknowledgement of what they've done for you.

This is my approach, too.

For really BIG things, I make donations to non-profit organizations doing work that is in line with (what I believe are) Brighid's interest areas.

I like this idea and all the ones offered. Simple seems best, though I really like the idea of donating to a relevant cause, and this situation may fall in line with that since the changes I've experienced have been significant and unusual.

Thank you all for the input!
