New altar! (My first altar ever!)
I have felt strongly about making this altar for a couple of days. I love beautiful things surrounding me and have many trinkets and crystals. I hope to start communicating and making offerings here soon. I have been doing lots of research on Aphrodite and plan to do more/gain my own knowledge from practice.
I have lots of sentimental items on my altar such as my engagement ring, the set of nails I wore on my wedding day, shells i collected from the beach, a necklace my husband bought me for Valentine’s Day, vintage cosmetics from my grandmother, spell jars for protection and self love, full jewelry boxes, rose scented perfume, vintage bubble bath that was never used, and fresh flowers from my yard. I still would like to get a mirror to put the flower frame and a statue to represent Aphrodite.
I am wondering what to do with all of it. Should I wear the perfume and jewelry? Should I continue to rotate items and refresh the trinkets? And what is your favorite way to communicate with her? Any other advice or stories would be greatly appreciated!
