I don’t have a local store so it looks like I’ll have to poke around on Amazon some more. Thanks!

Thank you. I actually made it a bit more busy for the actual full moon but I love keeping it clean because of my (as yet) undiagnosed OCD.

Iol, I got a full moon shelf which is really nice. I would like to incorporate some néw shelves too like the star and the moon phases. I can’t get it all yet. I am a collector of lots of things and I like to put all my gadgets and gizmos on the shelves and what do you call it! The thingamabobs! lol

Was it the Little Mermaid song you mentioned you were singing yesterday, Jeannie? 
And cheers to that! I know I definitely feel like Ariel at times when I’m collecting trinkets, gadgets and gizmos- not just for my altar, but for spellwork components too! 
So many fun things to collect!

Yes that was me singing karaoke! I just got the pop solo and you can pick just about any song on iTunes and sing a long. I love to sing! To tell you the truth me and my husband for the longest time use to sing Christian music and to tell you the truth the other day I thought about singing again one of my favorite songs by Kim walker “how he loves us” and listen to the song it has all the elements so wired, it says I am a tree bending beneath his arms He is jealous for me
Loves like a hurricane
I am a tree
Bending beneath
The weight of His wind and mercy
When all of a sudden
I am unaware of these afflictions eclipsed by glory
And I realize just how beautiful You are
And how great your affections are for me
And oh, how He loves us so
Oh, how He loves us
How He loves us so
He is jealous for me
Loves like a hurricane
I am a tree
Bending beneath
The weight of His wind and mercy
I think she’s a witch for real!
I am so excited again to be able to me and implement both my Christian music and witchcraft. “Yes” I just don’t want to forget all the good songs and put those walls up anymore. I don’t want to be Naïve to the fact that that was my past and it’s always going to be there. When I am feeling low or sad about how life is going. To lift me up I’ll sing a song.
Someday Id like to write a song to the Godesses Lord and Lady. I’ll have my husband play guitar and chant! Or pray with the drums and the moon and the stars in the Starry night. With my cauldron burning and my incense burning to a melody to the Lord and Lady! And draw down the moon.

A beautiful song from a beautiful soul, @Jeannie1! 
It sounds like music and singing are important parts of your spirituality. Cheers to that from a fellow “music witch”! 
If you do write a song of your own, feel free to share it in the forums! I would love to read your lyrics 
Absolutely gorgeous altar, @Rowan! 
It is like a great tree of light and magic is sheltering your alter beneath it’s branches. It is so beautiful to see

I took a photo of my altar I use in my practice - and on the way back downstairs to post this, I got tickled. I never noticed I have multiple altars of some sort - it appears I have 3 in my foyer, including my coat tree and another in my bedroom.
I even have a goddess painting along with one of my capes in the dining room.

I wish - I am crafty in that way. A friend of my did the goddess painting and the one with the trees (it has a fairy). The other with the girl with her hair on fire I bought at a local gallery. Being a Sagittarius, i am always running on fire - lol.

All of your Altars are Beautiful <3 I have to confess that I’m a bit of a technophobe and I dont have a mobile phone or any device with a camera 
Just my old PC that sits in my hallway lol. I’d love to post some pictures in some of the discussions and activities though so perhaps I should take the old one my sister offered me and use it as a camera

I just now got me a smartphone after all these years of doing without and it’s funny how fast I’m getting used to it. If I can do it, you can! Although there is something to be said about having a good ol’ PC to do you main work on. That’s what I do.

I just didn’t keep up with tech in my younger years, so when I jumped back in there were soooo many new things and I couldn’t choose so I didn’t lol I have literally plugged my tower into a big TV so tiny screens are hard to read for me now as well I really want to share my journey with everyone here in more than words though so using it as a camera will suffice <3 Blessed Be <3

I’ve finally got round to completing (for now) my first altar. Well actually I have two, my main altar in my living room/office area, and a smaller one in my bedroom.
As I don’t have a lot of spare room in my house, I opted for a wheeled trolley that fits under my desk for my main altar.
This will be where I conduct most of my rituals and casting so I wanted it to feel right and personal to me.
Handily the desk in my office under which I’ve placed the altar faces due North.
I’ve represented the elements with a stone and small branch for earth, a candle and incense burner for air, a candle for fire and a small shell and rainbow agate geode for water.
I had to source some things on Amazon but the majority are from small independent businesses on Etsy, including my cauldron and wicca starter kit and the God and Goddess statues.
Underneath I have my Book of Shadows, a rectangular box with the tarot cards I’ve owned for years, another wooden box which contains herbs, crystals, incense, pestle and mortar etc.
And finally the wand and athame were again purchased from Etsy, handmade from hazel by a woodturner.
My bedroom altar is still a work in progress. This one faces South so I’ve switched round the rotation of the altar points to match the orientation.
I’d bought a mango wood altar table which I was going to use for my main altar but it didn’t work in the space downstairs. The tea light candle holder represents fire, blue agate geode represents water, the small urn contains some of my late dog’s ashes representing earth and the crochet angel is decorated with some feathers naturally shed by my cockatiels and a pigeon feather picked up in my local woods presenting air.
Again the Goddess statue was going to be for my main altar but didn’t work in the space. The branch is a placeholder for a wooden God statue I’ve ordered from Etsy.
This evening I’m planning to bless the altars.
