Drawn Altars

Post by Xiao Rong »

I found this idea on Pinterest -- the original idea comes from stellawitchcraft.tumblr.com
http://stellawitchcraft.tumblr.com
Seems like a great idea for folks who may not have the budget for a lot of altar tools, the space for a real one, or just have a lot of creativity!

Has anyone else done something like this? Makes me want to sharpen my sketching skills!

I don't have a traditional altar, somewhat scattered, even in Christine's (race car's) room. Yes, she has her own climate-controlled room, a more comfortable environment than some people live in. Also, she's a stand-alone altar. Not much worshiping to gods, but much worshiping to her.

In my living room, a guy said, “That looks like something the Dark Knight would own, ha, ha, ha,” with me carrying the ha, ha along, steering back to the existing conversation.

It's interesting! It's like changing avatars, depending on . . . .

Xiao, that is a great idea. I admire the perspective it's drawn with. And for those of us who can't draw, a cut and paste altar glued into our book could work brilliantly.

Seems like a pretty sweet addition to a Book of Shadows, of anything.

That looks great. I can imagine just drawing it can be a spiritual experience. And for me, a reminder I could never draw anything like that :-)

I'm interested in Christine, Mr. Crowley, can you tell us more?

Also if there's anyone else who has unusual altars or worship objects, I'd love to read about them.

I absolutely love this idea. It's very useful to people who cannot build their own altar too. Thanks for sharing, Xiao.

Perhaps he is referring to the horror classic Christine? A really beautiful car that looks like it would belong to the element of fire!
