regain the favor of someone else (person, god, or spirit)

So I moved house. Been trying to get things delivered but the postcode is tricksy and couriers seem to hate me. First bed delivery just drove off. Second one has delivered two of the same box. How do I adequately propitiate the Delivery Gods?!

It’s that special time of the academic year when I’m so buried under work that I prioritize based not so much on who asked for something first, but on who I need to propitiate most.

No special class of persons is set apart for their performance. No special places are set apart for the performance. Desired objects are attained not by propitiating the favor of divine through sacrifice prayer and praise, but by ceremonies of resemblance between rite and effect.
