new acquisition

I haven't purchased a deity statue for years.  But I suddenly had an urge to buy a Baphomet statue. It's smallish, but it fits perfect where I keep my personal altar.

I found it on Amazon of all places. :)

Spring is returning!

I was pulling out stuff to set up our seasonal household altar and pulled out all the decorated eggs that have survived the years. I decided to put them in one of my bowls on the altar, but before I did that, I took this picture.

Ostara season was never the Sabbat I resonated most with, but as my covenmate says, it is the herald of spring. As I get older and dislike winter more and more every year, I am coming around to her way of thinking! So I particularly enjoyed putting this year's spring altar together. 

I wish more of the eggs we've made over the years survived. But if I blow them out, they are super fragile. If I go traditional and leave the raw egg inside, sometimes they don't make it. But at least I have these. And we'll make more this year. :)

My altar, if I have one.

I'm posting a picture of the Ganesha altar we set up this month for the 10 day festival of Ganesh, Vinayak Chaturthi.

I didn't have a lot of proper Ganesh stuff, but I used what I had and made a pretty paper banner spelling out His name. :)  My son added an offering of candy from his stash.

Next year I'm trying for a more traditional altar!
