“No great thing needs | a man to give,
Oft little will purchase praise;
With half a loaf | and a half-filled cup
A friend full fast I made.”- tr. Bellows.
Gifting is a concept of utmost importance amongst heathens, both giving and receiving. But the gifts need not be extreme in value or production. This can be carried over into every day personal practice when you’re cultivating relationships with your deities.
