DONATIONS at Neopagan.com :
They are conceived to emulate and re-experience the ancient Pagan practice of donating to the temple for the Gods,
temples that were acting as legitimate "middle man" entities between you and the Gods energies,
"hopefully" getting your request fulfilled by Them.
The offer generally consisted of money or food, and was used by the the priests of the temples to enter a spell for the requester and to sustain the temple,
creating a charm or a magical exchange.
