I thought I'd start this board off by starting a thread where we can post pictures of our altars. I have 3 as of current but I only have up to date pics of one. My primary Altar is to my Matron Goddess and Leading Lady Nyx. I'll post the pics of her altar after I've cleaned it up a bit. I tend to use it a lot so there's lots of ash and wax everywhere on it. The second altar I have is my Angel Altar. It serves to help me connect with the angels. I usually use it when I need to do healing work, send energy to a Christian friend or when I'm reading my oracle cards.
Lastly is the most recent altar, the one I just did tonight actually. It's my altar to Thanatos. It's rather simple really but he seems to like it that way.
I've incorporated butterflies which is the animal typically associated with him and salt stone, representing the purity of death and rebirth. And an Amethyst cove and ball for general calm, clarity and protection. I've started to notice more ghostly presences being attracted to me since I've started down the path of working with Thanatos. And it certainly doesn't help that there's a naturally occurring portal (to be cheesy about it) in the room above me. My house is sort of a hot spot.

This is the most up to date picture I have of my Altar to Nyx. I'll take new pics later but it's basically the same. The candles seen here were replaced by flower shaped tea candle holders that represent this flower my grandma has in her garden that always blooms at night, I've always associated them with Nyx. The statue represents how she looked when she fully revealed herself to me; a young adult about 20-25ish. She is pouring water from a vase onto the wreath of flowers around the base of the statue; this represents the rest and healing we experience during the night. It's something that cannot be experienced the same during the day. She is pouring the water (the rest and healing) on to the flowers (us) and in response they are blooming (reaching our full potential), this representing how important the night is to us. I also keep some smaller tools and supplies in the wood box in front of the altar and the lighter was a gift from my boyfriend that I used to use when lighting the altar. I had to give it back I him to be fixed and I keep forgetting to bring it home. I also keep a small bundle of sage on the altar too.

I love your guy's set up. I currently have a sigil on my altar, and it would be bad juju (As my mother says) to take a picture or show an active sigil to anyone outside the ritual. I use a round antique table from a consignment shop for my rituals. A few years ago, I could fit all my magical items in a bag, but since then the amount has grown so much that I keep my things in various boxes on a shelf.

This is my Altar to Thanatos. It's the newest altar I have set up. I've done a lot of meditation and soul searching over it. Thanatos's appearance in my life has stirred a lot of old questions up. He's answered them only to leave me with more. In typical fashion of the divine it seems. He basically came along and made me completely question everything about myself, right down to my purpose on this earth. I'll go into details about my revelations on another board though.

Thank you very much, ouija. :3 I wish I could see your set up, for you seem like a very interesting person, but I can respect why you would not like to share photos. CX
