Hi everyone!

I'm really new here on Creepy Hollows and I am also really new to spirit keeping. I don't even have any spirits yet, but I am in active search for information and lots of knowledge to bring a spirit friend into my life. Anyway, I had made a thread elsewhere and some suggested gargoyles as a first spirit consideration, especially because I live in a dorm and can't always put candles or incense... and because gargoyles like peanut butter, which I can give them plenty of, haha.

I have a couple of questions... some out of curiosity... others out of genuine ignorance so I hope you will bear with me and I would appreciate any and all answers! Thanks

1) Is there a reason why gargoyles like butter and peanut butter? Mirrors? - Again, just random curiosity. It seems quite fitting for some reason in my mind, but not for any reasons that I can easily discern and put into words.

2) When people say give an offering of peanut butter, does that mean I put it next to the vessel? - And then... What happens to the peanut butter? Will it slowly disappear as if someone was eating it, or do I throw it away after a day or two and exchange it with new peanut butter? - I also read somewhere that the keeper could have peanut butter related cravings... - Again, I am so new that this is the question that MOST interests me. I live in a dorm so just keeping a spoonful of peanut butter lying around in the open could call forth ants if not dealt with correctly.

Thanks again!

this one i can't answer except maybe with another question...do you have a favorite food that you simple, absolutely love and if you see it, you HAVE TO HAVE a bite of it? maybe that's why. as far as the mirrors goes maybe they like the shiny reflection.

you can

What happens to the peanut butter? Will it slowly disappear as if someone was eating it, or do I throw it away after a day or two and exchange it with new peanut butter?

it just sits there. they take the energy from it. so no it won't disappear (unless the ants or "other creatures" sneak a taste

- I also read somewhere that the keeper could have peanut butter related cravings...

haven't had a craving yet, but i still have the peanut butter on hand for them

for me i only leave the peanut butter out for maybe an hour (because i can't stand bugs). if the peanut butter is still bothersome to you, you may want to try the gargoyle offering that CH offers instead.

hope this helped answer some of your questions, and btw welcome to the forum.

I have a gargoyle it wasn't until I read your post it clicked as to why I had been eating peanut butter out of the jar with a spoon and really craving the stuff for a month before I went and got my SRA gargie! thanks for posting hehe


I usually leave my gargoyle with his peanut butter and mirror on a high place in my bedroom he loves it there and slowly absorbs the energy from his offerings, I usually leave his peanut butter for a few hours.

I don't really know the answer to #1, but I'm gonna go with Dark Abyss on that one. :thumbup:

As per offering the peanut butter, usually what I do is smear a gob on a cracker and put it up high where I keep my gargoyle. (As gargoyle's love high perches. :thumbup: ) As Dark said, they just absorb the energy, so no the PB won't disappear. What I usually do is give him PB on a Friday (as that's their association day) and leave the PB cracker up there for a couple days then toss it out. Luckily, I haven't had any bug problems so far. :fingercross:

I have indeed had some PB cravings. :lol: The first day he arrived, I kept getting a mental image of a Saltine cracker smeared with PB. After while wondering why I kept having that thought, I was like "gotcha, you want some PB, I'm on it!" :thumbup: As I was searching for crackers I found that all I had were Ritz, so that'd have to do. I decided I was gonna join him in a few, because it sounded quite tasty at the moment. I still do every now and again. :hungry: I've been craving PB and honey (one of my favs) sandwiches too. I went across town the other day to bring home an order of PB chicken from my fav Chinese restaurant, it was so good. I think he liked it too. :thumbup:

Thanks for answering everyone!

Never been a big fan of peanut butter on its own (though I will eat it from time to time with some crackers), but I will most certainly join any gargoyle buddy with a PB&J sandwich, haha. And it's good to know that CH sells offerings that I could also buy and use. The peanut butter should work fine, I suppose, so long as I don't keep it out for days. A few hours would work fine, I'm sure.

So far gargoyles sound really cute for some reason with their love of mirrors and peanut butter, but I think I'd be really freaked out if I ended up suddenly dreaming about gargoyles, which is likely to happen if I get one simply because my imagination is influenced like that, sigh...

all i can say is in my case is that i do love my gargoyles. i also realized after your question about the mirror, is that before they came i gave them my high back dresser as their perch. in the middle of the dresser is a mirror. no wonder they were happy with that area (they probably gave me a subliminal message about it). cheeky gargoyles. here's a pic of it with one of their orbs.

....and mine won't share his.

I put some peanut butter and butter on my small offering plate. My cat got up there that night and man, was he fast when he all of a sudden sprang off the table and out the door. He didn't feel very well for a day or so either...poor Frank.

Poor kitty cat...

Point now taken into consideration - do not expect the gargoyle buddy to share the peanut butter. I wonder if there's a chance a gargoyle might enjoy Nutella? Hmm. :thumbup:

I can't imagine not liking nutella. :lol:

Ok...as soon as I read that this am I hear in my head, 'Is there room for that in the budget next month?'. I haev never tried it but I have to admit a real curiosity about it since this posting lol.
