🌿Altars/Shrines part 3
Finally it's part three!🌻🌼🍃
🌿You can find part 1 & 2 on my page under the tags 'altar' and 'altar ideas'🌿
So in this post I'll be showing my Aphrodite & Apollo altar, second part of my 'main' altar which is for Hecate/Hekate, Rhea and Cronus/Kronos and my little altar/shrine for Demeter.
So first, my altar for Apollo & Aphrodite.
All of the tall white statues were given to me as a gift, they were sort of given as a 'set' so that's why a Caryatid stands at the back I didn't want to separate her 😂.
I got the two smaller statues weirdly enough before I was given the bigger ones. Which is why I thought it was fitting for Aphrodite and Apollo to share an altar (it was kinda like they were showing me in a way).
At the back I have gathered some shells and also placed a golden snake on Apollos statue for him. At the moment I am offering them a summer rose & oud candle (it smells amazing not gonna lie).
Like my other altars I've got some artwork that I like pinned at the back & at the side on the bookcase I drew some symbols of theirs.
Back at the front for Aphrodite I put a stone I had found at Crete in the shape of a love heart, a white clam shell and a pink stone/rock I had found on my walk abouts.
Lastly I have a column candle holder on each side for again candle offerings (which I do alot will probably make a post on it at some point). And a shell with evil eye cocktail sticks inside which was given to me by my friend when she visited Turkey.
Now for the second part of my 'main' altar.
From left to right, I have dedicated my rocks and crystals to Rhea, especially the snow quartz egg seeing as she is the mother of the gods (Zeus,Poseidon,Haides,Demeter,Hera and Hestia).
And yes that is a tea light holding it up, when your broke you get creative. She also watches over some of my divination things which are crystal such as pendulums and runes.
In the middle I have put my things for Hecate or Hekate, a crystal ball I don't do much scrying as I find it to be a very hard type of divination to get used to but seeing as Hekate is the goddess of witchcraft I thought I would actually give it to her as an offering of sorts.
I put a skull and a amethyst crystal to represent the underworld. A tall candle stick holder which reminded me to much of her not to put on there and my own drawing of her sacred symbol.
On the far right I have a little corner for Cronus or Kronos. As he is the god or titian of time putting a glass timer seemed fitting for him I am also going to add offering bowls when I get the chance. I gave him a old pocket watch with a horse on it which he weirdly seemed to approve of.
And lastly I have my little corner for Demeter, I dedicate all my Cacti to her seeing as it is the only plant I can have in my room. There is another one on the other side but I didn't take a picture of that... oops.
I'm hoping to get another cactus soon (I'm basically the cactus lady 😂😂) so I will also dedicate that one to her aswell.
Well...that's the end of my altars tour, I hope this gives ideas to others that are struggling to think of lay outs or ideas for their own.
If anyone has any questions feel free to pop up in my Ask box or Dms I don't bite 😁
