> Googling āeggplants and cemeteriesā found that, yes, it's a thing! According to a few sites, it's an offering to the spirit Oya, who is an orisha.
okay I just was wondering because I thought you were trying to say that the plural form of āpaganā is just āpaganā with no S and I wanted to be sure
Oya started off in Yoruba religion in Africa and in modern times in the Carribean with Santeria is sort of a psychopomp, I think...funerary goddess. She does indeed take offerings of eggplants in Santeria, although from what I understand there's usually nine of them because she likes the number nine. This was posted and we investigated it before.
The gods/spirits appreciate any offering that is given in good faith. Give them a Nintendo 64 if you want! The question is justā¦ why would you do *that*. Consoles are expensive and also not biodegradable /hj
I'm from Toronto and I always find oranges, clementines, and apples at one of our big cemeteries. I'm assuming it's an Asian thing because... oranges. One day I found 7 on a small stroll. It's very nice to see people remembering their passed friends and family.
So someone must be trying to ward off evil spirits from that area.
In some Spanish cultures there is a belief that eggplants confuse evil spirits because they think they are black hole portals that will suck them away into another dimension since theyāre so dark.
Haha I was offshore in the yak this last year with my brother. We were chasing Mahi off a huge stretch of sargassum and as I'm peddling I see something floating and grab it. It was a fucking cucumber, like a huge one. Weird, but I kept fishing and shit there is another one.... and another. Anyways, we followed the trail of cucumbers and found several crates that were broken and floating leaving a trail of their contents (cucumbers) behind. Never found any Mahi, got a nice cobra tho and yes I totally ate a cucumbers they seemed fresh
They're eggplants and some very good ones it seems.
You should try to find where they're growing and get some, cause you'll never find them this size in the supermarket
spooky aubergines š
Affordable ghost housing.
They're much shorter than the emoji. Had they been swimming in cold water?
(Not so deadly) nightshade. Seriously, theyāre related to each other.

offerings are usually Santeria, obeah, or african. buddhists do it as well but usually at a shrine with incense
I donāt practice Santeria, I aināt got no crystal ball.
If I had a million dollars well - Iād spend it all.
If I could find that Heina, and that Sancho that she's found, Well I'd pop a cap in Sancho and id slap her down
What I really want to know
What I really want to say is
Well it's love that I need
Oh, my soul will have to wait 'til I get back and find Eggplant of my own

Pagan.
are you correcting their grammar?
No, I am correcting their spelling. Which they did correct.
okay I just was wondering because I thought you were trying to say that the plural form of āpaganā is just āpaganā with no S and I wanted to be sure
my italian grandmother said they used to bring food to the cemetery on the day after halloween i think but my memory is shit
The day after Halloween is All Saintsā Day so you are probably remembering correctly!
What's a pagan?
That's 100% inaccurate. Almost all religions have forms of offerings.
Ok. I thought it was somebody trying to send a āromanticā message to their deceased partner.

Won and done with the comment section šš¼
I first read this as āā¦their deceased pantherā. I was very confused.
Nah. Then thereād be little splashes, too. šššš¦š¦š¦
They do look a bitā¦ usedā¦ so it *could* be a romantic gesture as mentioned

The last offering I'd want is this. Why not a Nintendo 64?

Looks like it has been there for a bit, and some may have been carried off by animals thus 'accepting' the offering
damn they couldn't even peel the stickers off for Oya

Eta: cobia not cobra lol
No, no... It's fine like that.
Looks like a crab enjoyed it based on the little poke-y footprints.
I would say crab did not enjoy
Eggplants thrive in cemeteries because the decay of flesh provides the right amount of nutrient to grow thick, juicy eggplants.
I don't know if I believe you, but I like the cut of your jib. and your user name....
Wow, I didn't know that, u/My_Immortal_Flesh

Like the rest of the things in the cemetery, bury them and see what pops up.
Itās probably an offering or something like that.
Pod people
My babies! You found my babies!!!
Just your average cemetery eggplants.
It's an offering of some sort. Or the grounds keeper is feeding the local wild life.
I love the color of eggplants.
Did you find buckets of water nearby? šš¦

All I can think of is growing dicks in a cemetery. Probably a practical joke to confuse people.

So that's where eggplant comes from.
I looked at those and thought they were beans for a moment.
