Updated altar space for Queen Hera 🦚💗

-

Through finding things to place on her altar I found that my latest ring had fixed itself (the stone had come out) I'll take that as a sign she is pleased 🙌

Altar to Hera

Excuse my terrible picture taking abilities, as I am terrible at taking pictures.

I finally have my full altar to Hera set up. Everything on it was chosen for a specific reason. My wedding bouquet, wedding shoes, and Wifey Est 2018 water bottle from the wedding have all been dedicated to Her. There are pomegranates and peacocks, which are common symbols of Hera. She stands before a painting I made for Her. The Barbie in the background was given to my grandmother by my grandfather because they eloped and she didn't have a wedding dress.

Fun fact: peacock refers only to the male peafowl, a type of pheasant from India. It is widely believed that peacocks were first revered in India, as a symbol of the goddess Lakshmi. Peacocks were kept as pets by Indian royalty all across the subcontinent because of their beauty, as well as because they eat snakes.

there’s so few Hera worshipers and it hurts my heart, finding prayers and rituals is so hard. etsy has tons of candles and incense sticks made specifically for so many deities but there’s none for Hera and it makes me so sad, i love Her so much. i really want to learn to make candles and incense so i can make & sell my own so it’s easier for baby witches to find ways to honor Her.

(Ignore the mess behind it, it's on a section of my dresser in a messier area of my room bc I'm always on campus and have no time to clean, hopefully I'll get my room fully cleaned on winter break next month)

But!! This is hopefully the beginnings of my shrine to Hera! I dont know why, I just felt called to do so and have for quite a bit! I connected with her back in june but haven't since, so we'll see how this goes! I'm excited and think it looks nice! Now I just have to get taper candles for the candelabra!

I also want to wipe everything down well before actually activating the shrine, this is just to see if it'll work, this probably isnt it's main spot, itll probably move, but for now its there

Now if I only had the space to set up a permanent Chthonic altar instead of having to set it up every time I need it

Also I painted the candle in the front! I've painted one for each Olympian each month! I still have to do one for Dionysus and then next month one for Artemis!

this is my tiny lil car altar in an altoids tin!! i’m *not* an artist, so the paint job isn’t the best, but i’m still really happy with it.

inside the lid i have a poorly painted pentacle, with all five elemental symbols also poorly painted around it.

and there’s a tea light, matches, a bay leaf, a tiny bottle of seasalt, clear quartz, rose quartz, kyanite, and a seashell stored in the tin. i’m really happy with how this turned out and i wanted to share with you all because i’ve seen tons of other witches share their mini/car/travel altars.
