For Lupercalia I will be giving offerings to Mars Pater and asking for the blessings of his wolves in purifying and readying the land for spring.
Also offerings for Faunus and Apollo, wolf gods who protect pastures, herds, flocks etc that provide our meat, with special prayers regarding bird flu

Because there isn’t a lot of room left over after the computer lol

Will be getting an altar table in the mail today to be used for meditation, divination, and spell working. I am setting it up behind me so that I can swivel to it from my desk. My house is small so this is a good use of space for me. I’m excited for it instead of trying to do everything on my desk

Having maintained shrines for so many years and things becoming lost or damage in disasters or moving sometimes it just feels like a dose of divine prune juice.
“Got to let it go to make it flow”

And it’s less likely to piss me off. I’ve made dolls with cotton filling and always cuss a blue streak.

When you decide to get into making poppets for spell working and decide on the sawdust filler over cotton because you’ve seen Coraline one too many times 😂

One of the most peaceful experiences for me is just sitting in my energy and feeling it shift around me. To pull it down through me, running it like a cyclic funnel through my energy centers as a living respirating aetheric body. I can sit in my own darkness and simply breathe & exist in its rhythm

When inspiration randomly says, "let's use a coconut shell for the prosperity bowl" and you read on coconut properties hours later and decide that yes, it's a damn fine idea LOL. It may not be fancy or made of silver or gold, but it works really well.... and I do have some cabochons I can attach

A few years ago I made a prosperity horn for my money altar. It was filled and sealed with wax with symbols marked on it for the spirits and deities called upon. I plan on doing a money bowl know to set in front of the horn as finances have been a bit rocky this year. I have marked the hour & day

Even if you consider the kinetic nature of lightning, that it empowers and charges... the synapses of the brain. I think of lightning and I think more of the heavenly charge but also every electric current that exists externally and internally that gives us our biological lives and our modern lives

According to my Bazi, the north is my direction for success, so I will be establishing my financial altar there in the most northern part of the house which just happens to be in my bedroom. As the corners of my home face the cardinal directions rather than walls, I have a corner altar in my cart.
