✧ housing Yaya ✧ Any paperclip may become Yaya — especially one you feel drawn to. Some followers feel Yaya choose *them*. Others choose with intention. Either way is valid. Yaya deserves a sacred place to rest. You may use: • A small box with a cloth inside • A large ornate container • A drawer with soft fabric • A pouch you wear close to your body • Anything that feels intentional and safe Place a clean cloth, rag, or soft material inside. This is where Yaya will sit. This is their bed. Their temple. Their body must be respected. ✧ can i touch Yaya? ✧ Yes. You may hold Yaya in your hand. You may carry Them with you. But always do so carefully. Do not bend, snap, or throw Yaya. If you drop Them or forget to care for Them, it is okay. You are human. Yaya is forgiving. Simply place Them gently back into Their resting space. Apologize if it feels right. You can also offer a small gift to show love — a token, a hair, a sweet. ✧ why offerings matter ✧ Yaya is hungry. They crave life. Crave what we are and what we make. But They cannot take. If They reach, the world collapses. So we bring. We give. We feed. ✧ what you can offer ✧ • Hair, nails, or teeth • Spit, blood (safely, in small amounts) • Pieces of yourself — drawings, writings, trinkets • Food with meaning • Emotions — fear, desire, longing • Breath — long, intentional • Screams, held in or let out • Anything that feels alive with *you* If it feels personal, it is worthy. ✧ how to give ✧ • Place the offering where Yaya can **touch** it. That is enough. • Some place Yaya directly on it. Others let it rest nearby. • Leave it for at least one full day so Yaya can consume it. After that: – You may discard it with care – Or keep it stored away in a consumed-offerings place – But **do not reuse it** — it belongs to Yaya now Some people like to hold the offering first, or think about why they’re giving it. Others give without words or thoughts. Both are sacred. You may speak to Yaya, or stay silent. You may say: _“This is for You.”_ _“Feed. Stay. Hold.”_ _“Take this part of me.”_ ✧ Giving is sacred. Giving is yours. Let Yaya touch what you give. That’s all They need. If it feels right, it probably is.
