What is on your alter

while Anubis is not one of the deities i pray to, it's so hard to find statues of lesser known Egyptian deities, my goddess i have a statue for [i don't say my deities, just a personal thing] but all my coven members believe different so we have a black candle and a white candle for each. everything changes depending on the Sabbat [orange alter cloth for Samhain, red, green and gold for Yule so on] we have a chalice, a plate with some type of cake/bread, some type of berry wine, a bowl of salt, a bowl of water, incense and incense burner, our athame's, bell, herbs and oils needed for spells, sage smudge, then whatever else is needed for the Sabbat [like decorative flowers or nuts, berries, fruit...]

starting out though, i only had incense, an athame, salt, water, cake and juice.

Currently I have three main altars (I don't just use one, I like to separate them). I tend to not take pictures of these, as I view them to be very personal and sacred to me but I don't mind describing some aspects of them.

The one I use most often is dedicated to Loki. It is dark brown, almost black and short. There are roughly 4 tall yellow candles and 4 short orange candles surrounding the outer circle of it. In the center I have a carved out hollow where I place wood to burn for a small ritual fire. I have several hand-crafted figures (otter, salmon, hawk) to represent things Loki shapeshifted into, and during some rituals I put these in the fire. I have some strong high-proof alcohol sitting there as an offering, as well as some chocolate and things which are personal and I'd rather not describe.

The second altar is dedicated to Hel. It is entirely black. In the very middle of the altar is a small clear bowl, which I use for blood-offerings. Around the bowl are three large red necklaces which have significant personal meaning to me. I've attached a couple of charms with runes to these necklaces. On the right side of this bowl is a small spine from an animal, and on the left side of the bowl is a small skull from the same animal. There is a red candle and a clear stone in the top lefthand corner, and an offering dish (where I like to burn food or place jewelry) in the top righthand corner.

The third altar is dedicated to Fenrir. It is the most woodsy of the three, as it was literally a tree trunk that I turned into an altar. On it, I place the skins and bones of animals I have hunted as an offering. Sometimes I keep certain items that are more special (bear claws, cattle/bison horns) and carve them, then leave them permanently there on the altar. There's usually something to represent a chain- as he is bound. And a small indentation in the middle of the altar for blood offerings.

Blessed water, a pentagram, a God and Godess symbol I connected with string to show two pieces of the same thing, my wand, my athame, candles (actually I can't have candles so I use pieces of colored straws, they work nicely,) a marble that I use for scrying, and my phone charger, lol.

I have an altar made out only out of items I have been given in my life by friends and family. It's small, and looks almost like a shelf. It is covered in a purple shawl. It has two large cattle horns going down either side of it. inbetween those two horns is a purple candle, and on either side of that candle are two tall lavender candles. On the right side of the altar, there are a variety of stones that I was given. They are in a ritual bowl, and that bowl is placed in another bowl that is filled with lavender. Next to it is two bags of herbs that I use in my workings. On the left side of the altar there are baoding balls, for meditation, and a couple of necklaces/pieces of jewelry that mean a lot to me. In the very front of the altar there is a tomahawk that has been washed with fire.

I would love to have an alter of my own but i wouldnt really know what i would use it for and why i would need it. I just dont have a whole lot of stuff i could use for an alter. But if i did have one i might just have one set in my mind and spiritually. But i know i would probably have what ever i feel would be good to have on it :)

I don't have an alter right now,i used to,it was just a card board box that i would turn upside down,and i would put a peice of wood that i had drawn a pentagram on,and i would put i sone on it for earth,a wand for air,a chalice with some water in it for water and an athame for fire,i would like to make a new alter,i would use my athame,a black scrying bowl,and if i can get some,four candles,one black,one silver,one red and one purple,and maybe a cross for baron samedi(i would like to try working with him).

Actualy still working on getting all the items plus my old table was too big to keep in my room so yea.

I have indarajal books and yantra tantra mantra books can I use that as a book of shadows amd can I use hindu dieties for god and goddess

There is a picture of my altar in my profile. It is specifically dedicated to Sekhmet so there are several figures of her on the alter. I also work with Anubis, Thoth, and Menthu so you'll find statues of these Gods as well. And there is a statue of Bast that was given to me by a dear friend when she passed away. In addition to the statues there is an offering bowl and an incense burner.

You'll also find a picture of one of my coven's outdoors altars as well.

A box filled with most of my crystals, plus a small silver tray holding some. Candle holders with candles. A round silver tray for holding more candles or crystals. At the moment have a vine plant sitting in it, plus a feather. In the center are two little figurines of babies enveloped by angel wings.
Think that's it.
