Goddess Brigid/Saint Brigid of Kildare altar I made. :)

My Aphrodite altar in my bathroom, plus a little bonus mini altar also in my bathroom dedicated to Winged Victory of Samothrace and the Opal Venus of Willendorf figurine. 💕✨

Okay, so this isn’t actually an official altar in my home, but somehow all my bits and bobs end up feeling like an altar. lol The Our Lady of Guadalupe candle is one I’ve been burning every evening lately. On my family altar, I use a battery-operated candle so it’ll last, because I think the colors on that one are super bright and fun, and I want to keep it.

This bookshelf also has one of my little Buddhas, some “Catholic” candles featuring Frida Kahlo and Edgar Allan Poe, local artwork I’ve collected, and a crucifix I found at an antique shop that I painted bright green and pink. :)

It's unfortunate that my photo was removed bc it was flagged as AI. I used Canva to upscale the image as well as to hide the name of the church on the candle to protect myself, and I guess that's why? Anyway, here's the original with no Canva edits- just the pic from my phone.

I call this my love altar- it's a mix of Marian devotion and symbolism that reminds me of love and romance, like the yellow bird (you're the yellow bird I've been waiting for- bright eyes lyric that means a lot to me), the painting of The Kiss, and the K was my stepmom's, who passed away from breast cancer. Her name was Kim. I painted it red. It was originally gold. The vase-looking thing, or perfume bottle, I got at an antique shop. I keep holy water in it that I get from my parish church. The pic with the blue dog I also found at a little antique shop in town. It reminded me of Hecate imagery (the dogs) but also Marian imagery (the queen). The painting above was created by an ex of mine using acrylic paint and miscellaneous bits and bobs we collected. Even though we didn't work out, I've always loved it. Anyway, I just wanted to share and find community. I do not use AI-generated photos. That would be ridiculous, considering this is a place to share our spiritual practices. I hope this one sticks. <3

P.S. I'll try and take a photo this weekend during the day when the lighting is better. My house was built in the 70s and doesn't have the best lighting in my living room.

My ancestory/family altar <3
