The trick is to get the initial "offerings" not to be made, or not made where they are made, but the idea of having a separate nearby space for offerings won't work as if people were willing to do that they would.


Has this been tried somewhere then?


What we don’t have in this country (with the exception of well dressing perhaps) is an unbroken tradition of ‘outdoor’ offerings, and the care and responsibility that comes with such a tradition. Visitors to other countries (especially non-Western countries) often find that there is a tradition there and that it is almost always well managed. There’s a bit here about the Votive offerings and Dondo Yaki tradition in Japan if anyone’s interested.
