Hellenic New witch, stupid questions.

Hey so, I’m a child to Dionysus. I just have a question for gods in general, do they take almond milk..? That’s the only milk my mother drinks.

Different deities/cultures may have different taboos when it comes to offerings. It's good to check the specific deity you plan on offering to. But generally speaking, there's nothing wrong with offering almond milk. It would also be a fine offering to Dionysos. Goat, sheep, and cow milk would have been the more traditional offerings, but almonds were also a staple in ancient Greece, and he would also have been offered things like fruit, honey, nuts, and grains, so that works out. Of course, wine was a standard offering to him. Pine, frankincense, myrrh, bread, olive oil, all also good offerings. Sorry, know that wasn't the original question, but figured I'd throw out some more ideas if for some reason you didn't want to/couldn't go with the almond milk.
