@Sarafeena_Sage I love the little shelf & bench! They are awesome!

I’m figuring out a second altar space where I can layout my crystal grid cloths to use them. Right now I don’t have anywhere to set one up & leave it for some time. So I think half of my nightstand is becoming a smaller altar. I love inspiration!

@Rowan

Heres some pics of his hives and swelling of his face. And him enjoying a fruit popsicle. I had to pull up his water only allowing him a drink every 30 minutes, but he loved licking the popsicle.

Poor puppy! Glad he’s doing better!

@Susurrus Your love and care for the space shows- it’s not only lovely visually, it has a really warm and cozy atmosphere too

@Rowan It’s my pleasure, Rown- the badge suits you very well! I’m so sorry to hear that your cute pup was sick but it sounds like you took very good care of him and that Hekate gave Her blessing too- I’m thrilled he’s doing much better now!

@Sarafeena_Sage Ahhhh!!! Oh my goodness, they were cute before and now they are divine- the moss and natural touches really bring them to life, Sarall! And ohhhh at your Flower of Life grid, that’s a lovely treasure too! Good luck with the consecration, may all your beautiful things serve you well!

@BryWisteria - I don’t know if it really shows in the picture of my altar, but I now have 2 Labradorite Palm Stones. I was in the basement with my son looking for something else & walked by an open box. So I peeked in the top to see what was in it… some of my mother’s things from her purse & nightstand. I saw a glimmer & opened the box. There it was a pretty good sized polished Labrodorite palm stone… it’s bigger than the one I already have! I had no idea, she never said anything about owning such things or that she had any kind of interest in them. Even if it was a gift, she never said anything to me. So took that baby upstairs with me along with a coming that says, May Good Luck Always Accompany the Bearer… that I found under the stone. Then there is a pendant that just, I don’t know, I need to do some research about it because there is just something about it… I have a picture of it, but haven’t searched for anything yet. Today may be the day…

It looks cool, but I feel like there is something I am supposed to know about it, so figured I would start with the basics first.

Thank you @Jeannie1 I’m glad you enjoyed her video. I really enjoy how relaxing she is and she has some great ideas too. I hope you enjoy this technique as much as I have I hope to see your shelf here when you get it done

[BryWisteria]

@Susurrus You have so many fun treasures The pendant with the cat is very interesting- is it some type of clockwork cat, in a clock? Very curious indeed- I hope you have fun exploring it! There must be some reason it is calling to you

@Jeannie1 It’s a beautiful candle and it sounds like it has been serving you well in your practice, Jeannie May it continue to burn brightly and beautifully!

@BryWisteria

is it some type of clockwork cat, in a clock?

It looks like an older type of image of a cat, I’m very drawn to the eyes, but don’t understand the clockwork inside the cat? I have no idea where my mother got this, when, from who… It was in the box with the mystery Labradorite palm stone.

As a matter of fact, I’ll be back with what I find out in a few minutes…

Edit: So I poked around really quick… I found it on a “witchy” site for Cats: Gothic, Egyptian, & Witch & it was on Etsy listed as a pocket watch or pendant for a necklace or even a locket. This is definitely a pendant… but I have found that it is just described as a Gothic Steampunk Cat Clock Pendant…

I’m no expert here, but my mother either was witchy or was close to someone that was at least somewhat witchy. I have no idea who it was though or why she was given this pendant. It’s not something she would buy or get for herself. I don’t think it was her, she was very much a reborn Christian/Baptist…somewhere in there. I remember being like… don’t talk to me about the bible or religion or needing Jesus… I was confirmed in the Catholic Church because… parents… then I never went back to church unless it was my mom’s funeral service in 2003… which… I almost got tossed from that day, but that’s a story for another time…

So for now, it will hang out on my altar… maybe some dowsing with my mat should be done if I can put the pendant in the center? I’ll come up with something because right now it’s listed everywhere as vintage & such but only for like $3? It’s the image thought that I keep needing to look at… there’s something with this pendant…

Mom & Mother

For those confused my “Mom” died in 2003, my biological mother died in 2021 & here we are

[Sarafeena_Sage]

I was thinking it was steampunk style. I really like it. It’s a neat piece.
Maybe she had a thing for cats?

[martje]

How wonderful ! It s so sad to see an animal you love suffer. I am happy for you and him he is better now

[martje]

It is beautiful

[martje]

I love the little shelf and the faerie bench !

[Sarafeena_Sage]

Thank you @martje

[Susurrus]

@Sarafeena_Sage, when I first looked at it the first word that came to mind was Steampunk… Still, not something she would get for herself & she wasn’t necessarily a cat person. I’m getting this feeling someone around her gave it to her for some reason & at another time gave her the Labradorite palm stone. It’s kind of picking at me when I see the pendant or the palm stone. It’s definitely in an intriguing kind of way which is always fun… it’s a something I need to know kind of feeling. I’m going to pull out my altar dowsing mat & cleanse my favorite pendulum & see what happens this weekend.
