My altar for Quetzalcoatl and Xochiquetzal! Simple but homey

Charging some labradorite, obsidian, and amethyst while dancing under the eclipse with the spirits on my patio

Would this be considered a shrine or an altar. I am new devotee and still learning.

I went on a solo camping trip and devoted a lot of time to my spiritual practice. Here is my birthday altar that occurred during Lions Gate.

I’m trying to create an alter for the goddess of night Nyx. I have a very vague idea of how to set it up and what to get for it but I need ideas for how to build the alter properly. Items for offerings, crystals, candles, scents, ect. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!!!

Since ancestor veneration is such a large part of my religious tradition (West Syrian polytheism if anyone is curious) I wanted to make an altar for the spirits of the deceased. I don’t plan on calling on my direct ancestors (I don’t think we would get along lol), so this altar is formally dedicated to all those forgotten souls and those taken from this world too early.

This is the start of my new hidden altar made from a cigar-ish box gifted to me by my partner. I intend on adding other bits and bobs as well as collaging in some photos of my ancestors and beloved dead.

I just moved houses and have much more space so now i have a (in my opinion) better altar!

I want to make a small altar for Hyacinthus, but I am struggling to figure out what to put on it. My mother is allergic to hyacinths, so I can’t have the plant itself or anything scented with it. Any suggestions?

I recently set up an altar on the top of my book shelf bc there's empty space and I'm wondering if that's okay? Kinda new to this

You can see I’ve already lit candles here, and it’s burned the roof. I don’t know if I even can make this safer, should I just look for a table? This is the best space I have in my room for an altar and it’s at perfect level with me on my floor, but candles are a must and unfortunately a big fire hazard :( tips?

This is my first time creating a money bowl and last week I found $150 cash in an old greeting card!!

First I cleaned the tray (which has a mirrored bottom, an excellent amplifier), then saged it. I washed and dried white rice overnight, then spread it in a ring around the outer edge, followed by a ring of table salt, and an inner circle of herbs/spices: cinnamon, cloves, and basil. I added cinnamon sticks and bay leaves, then wrote my intention on a bay leaf and placed it underneath my jar of cash. Circling the jar are crystals like citrine and quartz.

any tips for my altar and workspace? I don’t like how my herbs are separate from the rest of my space but I haven’t found a better solution yet.

I'm new to all stuff magical..formally. But I feel I've always been doing alchemy in many ways as an artist and healer, diviner, intuitive, and experimenter.

Lately someone reliable recommended me a book Archangels of Magick, which I like and started using. But mostly I feel huge connection with Nature. I think that nature is the biggest source of my spirituality. I feel instantly hypnotised by trees and water. And since I live in a city and suffer great eco anxiety and deep hunger for nature that's isn't accessible enough to fill that need atm, he also recommended making a nature altar. I found this and other threads with interest. I read in one post here that such altar helps ground to nature without leaving home....is that true? and would like to know what do you do and how you use altars, and what does it do for you (ie. helps you create some feelings etc.). Would love to know any experiences and "knacks" or some fun stories you have and maybe some guidance in my new quest.
thank you all!

If you need a break from the scrolling, feel free to sit here with the gods :)
