Revamped altars :3

[bodhi-devotee]

with offerings and praise i express my gratitude to Golden-Crowned Helios, Zeus Pater, Apollon Alexikakos, Apollon Paean, and Asclepius the Divine Physician.

Thank you, honorable Theoi. Thank you Helios, for your golden light that gives rise to all living things. Thank you Zeus and Helios for holding me in your fatherly embrace. Thank you Zeus and Apollon, for your strength, truth, and abundance. Thank you Apollon and Asclepius for the health you have provided me, and the ability to aid in the healing of others. May any praise I receive for my good works reflect highly upon the Theoi that have relentlessly been by my side and come to my aid. Praise be!

Updated Altar Pics!

Hestia:

I figured the best place for Hestia would be near my tea & coffee station. Since I don't have a hearth in my room, it was the next best option and this way whenever I have a cup of tea, it's an offering to her! Also seen here is my new devotional journal I've been using for her.

Aphrodite:

I moved Aphrodite to my vanity because I had more space to decorate the way I wanted to, and because I use my beauty ritual as a devotional act to her anyway. My Abi really loves the vanity stool, so I keep it pulled out for her to lay on lol. I worked kinda hard on this stuff. The table I sanded and painted myself, as well as the mirror and shelf atop the table. I reupholstered the stool. I painted the abstract roses painting and I hot glued some sea shells to some of the string lights, as well as repurposed the little flamingos from a dead set of lights.

Hermes:

Annnd.. the beginning of a Zeus altar. I am waiting on my Zeus funko pop to come in, and trying to come up with some other things to add to the altar, but when I get them I will put them on a shelf beneath this cloud lamp that I made:

It's got color changing led lights in it, the same ones connected to the rose garland throughout my room:

If anyone can help me figure out some things I can add to a Zeus altar, I'd appreciate suggestions! ❤

Sorting a seperate altar for Father Zeus since I got a statue for him - anyone have any ideas what to put on it/where to put it? (Like how altars to Hestia are often near the Hearth etc.etc.)
