Editing Agwé (section)

===Offerings===
Small offerings to Agwe are poured or dropped overboard in deep ocean water. Large offerings to Agwe are left on constructed rafts (''barques d'Agwe'') which are floated or towed out to sea. If the raft sinks, it is accepted; if it returns to shore it is rejected.<ref name="Loa"/> After the offering is left, the supplicants cannot look back at that place or it will anger Agwe. ''Chwal'' must be prevented from falling or leaping into the sea and drowning, as it would offend Agwe. Nothing toxic (lead pipes, cement bags, garbage) must be used to weigh down the raft; if it will hurt or pollute the sea, it will anger Agwe.

His offerings include: 
*Beverages: [[champagne]], [[Rum#Naval rum|naval rum]], or [[anisette]]. Coffee with sugar and cream.
*Items: mirrors, a telescope, toy ships or scale ship models, oars or paddles, sea shells, turquoise beads or jewelry, fish-shaped sculptures or jewelry, fish hooks and nets, nautical uniforms or medals.  
*Food: Savory exotic foods, melon, boiled cornmeal, rice cooked in coconut milk, rice cooked with lima beans, boiled or fried ripe bananas, [[Cake#Special-purpose cakes|white cake]], [[cane syrup]], [[almond oil]], [[olive oil]].  
*Sacrificial Animals: White roosters, male ducks, and white rams or goats whose wool has been dyed with indigo.<ref name="coulter" /> They are afterwards prepared, cooked, and then placed in serving dishes or on plates as a sacrifice (as king of the seas, he doesn't get hot food at home).<ref name="Loa"/>

He is rarely offered seafood. If it is offered (perhaps to celebrate a bountiful year, good fortune, or a joyous occasion) it must be prepared and then cooked in a pan or oven. Then (to be fit for the table of the king of the sea) it must be served on a white china dish with blue patterns.
