Another Pagan Blog Prompt!
What does your altar look like?
What kinds of items do you include, and why?
What does each item symbolize, or what purpose does it serve?
I got this print of the Aztec god Tonatiuh at the Mexican pavilion in Walt Disney World. I got it framed, so I could keep it out.
Beside this is a postcard size print of Quetzalcoatl, a deity who I’ve recently become very attached to.
Though I’m not Aztec in tradition, I found the prints too pretty to pass up, and they were inexpensive and easy to pack...as they were flat. I’m actually really happy I got the Quetzalcoatl print especially, considering he has recently made contact with me. You can read about that in my dream journal.
My deity candles are my candles that I have dedicated to certain gods. I burn these the most.
The tall green and black striped one is my Thoth candle, the red one is Quetzalcoatl’s, the blue is Ptah and the white is Bast.
I don’t really know why I keep these out, I just kind of started doing it, and I found I liked the arrangement.
Back row, right to left: Peacock ore, moonstone, dark sunstone, jade
Middle row: Hematite, Smokey quartz, clear quartz
Front row: Howlite, green apatite, snowflake obsidian
Possibly my pride and joy: my rather large obsidian crystal ball.
I keep all my stones together on my altar because I play with them when I’m working, and I like having them nearby. I really like using stones every day, so having them nearby and being able to touch them, they will really absorb my own energy so that when the day comes when I really have to use them, I don’t have to really worry about having to recharge my stones.
Well, that’s my altar. It’s a little strange, like me, but it changes almost daily, even just by brushing along the stones.

LOVELOVELOVE! As you know, I rather enjoy your room, and love your desk (except how dark the lighting is around it). This was such a good run-down of your altar, it actually helps me to understand it better, cause when I always first walk in it's so much to take in, and even more to absorb when you try to explain it. So, good post :D
