It might seem strange but when I delve into something that interests me I go a little "overboard." On top of that, I keep track of how much money I spend on just about anything. Not because I need to pinch pennies, but simply to have the knowledge of what I'm buying, and how I'm spending my earnings. I will always have bills that need to be paid, and that is one of the priorities of life in my opinion. With that said, I will be keeping record of how much I spent on my items, and tools.
Below is a picture of the altar as a whole. Mind you, pieces are missing and it's very much an ever changing work in progress. I have plans to change my work-space around with the Sabbats and Esbats once I acquire more knowledge of them.
My first altar was pieced together on January 20th, 2015.
The work-space sits on top of two stacked white shoe shelves. The items it harbors are: a purple scarf (acting like a tablecloth), two plates, a bowl, one cup (for salt water), a chalice (currently holding the bits of stripped bark and wood from my wand), three candle holders, a bell, my wand, and my actual cutting knife. I have two containers on the middle shelf of the stand which will hold my crystals, feathers, and other various items once they arrive, or are brought home from being purchased.
The two candle holders represent the God, and the Goddess; I view the male and female as Mother Earth, and Father Sky. The third candle holder is for tealights.
