Wanted to show off my travel altars. The first one is very put together and contains a lot of very special items (Wolf canine, Buffalo bone wolf carving, blueberry stained deer bone, lavender, redwood opal, and fetal red fox bones).

My second altar is a much simpler one containing a rosary I made (using snake bones and tigers eye beads), and not pictured (a small red candle, howlite, and a small piece of tumbled garnet).

My header image shows my larger fixed altar

Working on some Norse God Inspired altar pieces for my upcoming fairs. This one is for my personal altar but soon I’ll be making more with different bones and different gods as well.

Every new project brings me such happiness and fulfillment

Updated Main Altar 𓃦

Finally found an offering bowl (it’s pewter) and it’s perfect. My first offering being dollar coins.

Update On My Pocket Altar/Shrine

Got to add some bones, shell beads and a string to tie it all together. I still want to add beading and something to cover all of the stitching but I’m happy with my progress!

[orcawolf]

Candle Making + Pocket Shrine

My friends (coven) and I did some more candle making with thrifted cups and candles as well as started working on our fabric pocket shrines. There’s still plenty of beading and detail I want to add but for now it’s a good start and I’m very happy with it.

Every new craft feeds my soul and brightens my home

Ansuz (ᚨ) -

is a rune commonly associated with Óðinn. Ansuz is often known as the “rune of the mouth,” symbolizing communication and the sacred expression of wisdom. The rune also represents authority and leadership, traits exemplified by Óðinn.

There is lots more to say about this specific rune but I’d love to hear what runes or symbols folks feel connected to, and why? Not just those in the Norse practices.

[orcawolf]

Made my first rune set, today with all the gifts I feel Óðinn has blessed me with I felt it only appropriate to make a set. I currently own a set made of wolf bones but I knew it was time to make my own

At the thrift today I found a beautiful pewter bowl I’ll be using for offerings and these beautiful altar shelves (I will show them off soon)

I don’t see why Odin wouldn’t be pro-DEIA? Like, the man’s missing an eye and wanders the world(s) seeking knowledge from various people.
