Lavender's Altar (Yule)

This is the Altar that changes throughout the seasons. During the ritual, a small white candle was added that's shaped like a house to welcome the light of love and joy into the home. The charmed bracelet that I wove during ritual is also now draped across the olive branch, waiting to be worn.

Fresh pine, holly, and mistletoe, with a carved olive branch. The Green Man is actually the center piece of a portable wooden altar that I won from a Samhain Ball years ago, but he makes for great symbolism anywhere!

Blessed Yule everyone!

Thank you! I did not carve the olive branch myself. It actually came to me like this from a friend, who had received it from a friend himself. I figured that an olive branch passed from friend to friend has its own special quality of peace and harmony. One day, I hope to find its new owner and carry the tradition. :)

Agian, thank you for your kind words. Bright blessings!
