What is a Libation

Before we go ahead, I would like to remind you that your intention is the most important thing within the spell. If you cannot find the correct ingredients or do not have the resources, then simply use this as guidance & inspiration for your own spell work. Today we are taking a look at Libation.

A libation is a beverage poured out as an offering to a deity, spirit or beloved dead within a ritual context as a form of communion or to give honour and thanks.

Libations vary by tradition. Alcoholic beverages, milk, honey, water, and oil are all used as libations.

Libations may be poured into a dedicated container such as a libation bowl or patera, onto a sacred object such as an altar or the statue of a deity, or into the Earth.

In modern English vernacular, the word “libation” is often used to mean a beverage, particularly an alcoholic one.
