Ritual to Request the Help of the Bogi.
You will need:
two candles (it’s best if they’re encased in something, like tea lights).
A bowl.
Any amount of the following for offering: bread, cheese, dry oatmeal, butter, vodka, and salt.
There are two main parts for this: the initial stage of requesting the help, and the secondary stage of rewarding for your success.
First, light the candle and say, “Xhors Dazhbog, may this small flame be another dwelling for you and an addition for your larger flame. May you make this space as sacred as you make Prav.”
Then the next part has four parts: invocation of the God, so some examples would be, “Bog Veles who is known to cure disease and illness.” Or, “Boginya Mokosh, Bride of Perun and mother of the home.” It requires at least a tangential knowledge of the Bog you want to invoke, if you’re having trouble with this part you can PM me and I can give you a suggestion.
Next step: the description of the issue at hand. This is the easiest, it’s telling the Bog about the current situation.
Next step: the offering. At this stage, you officially offer your offering to the Bog.
Last step is the request, this is where you hope that the Bog can help you in your current situation.
At this point it’s done, let the candle burn all the way, and when the candle goes out you can dispose of your offerings in any way you see fit. Originally, I thought that the only way to have a successful offering was to offer it by fire, but my UPG from Bog Veles is that you can do whatever you wish, even throw it out. Nothing is off the table.
At any rate, the second ritual for after the success is similar to the first. Light a candle and do the same prayer to Xhors Dazhbog: “Xhors Dazhbog, may this small flame be another dwelling for you and an addition for your larger flame. May you make this space as sacred as you make Prav.”
This last part has only three stages: the invocation, same as last time; the acknowledgement of what the Bog did; and the giving of the offering.
