Research them

Where though? I wouldn't know where to look to find credible information

I found a list once with offerings for specific deities. Hopefully this is of some help to you, but as suggested you may wish to research the deity in question and find out their qualities and associated offerings. You could also use your intuition when deciding on a offering to him or her.

Google. There are many sites that have information. As for Gods and Goddesses read the myths about them or the histories of what people offered them during the height of their belief.

You could also meditate on a particular one and see what message you get.

Thank you but the demon I'm looking for his name looks too much like a verb so whenever I search I don't quite get the right thing
I'm looking for Bathin

All I get is information about bathing

thanks for the information

Blessed be
