Here they are

*This is how my Altar looks at the moment with a Tarot reading I did last night*


*Same as but close-up*


*My Egyptian Athame*


*Same as but close-up*


*Altar minus Tarot cards*


*My Wand, which has three Aventurine Crystals around the top but you can only see one here, and the tip is made up of one Clear Quartz Crystal*


*Same as but close-up*


*Altar in the dark*


There ya go If anyone else has photos of their Altar and wants to share them just pop them in this thread.

Blessings!

Wow I'm liking that, looks very good

[[Enlightenment]]

Aww, thanks Pav. It's very special to me! Just wish I could of got a real good close-up of the whole Altar, there are thing's on it you can't see in these pics like my Feather, Sphere Egg and some of the Crystals I'm using at the moment.

[Pav]

Why not just take seperate pics of those?

That is such a beautiful athame, I saw in the picture you put up elsewhere, that it is also available in copper - I 'd love the copper one, the silver is gorgeous, but I'm drawn to copper.

[[Enlightenment]]

Yes, the copper one is gorgeous, I was tawn between the two, but went with the silver one because other stuff I have on my Altar is also silver so copper would of looked a little out of place on mine.

There are quite a few online shops that sell these Athames, I searched all over looking for the best buy This is where I bought mine from, cheapest price and the delivery was the fastest I've had, it came in two days (and that was over Xmas as well). Here is the link if you ever decide to buy it - http://www.pagandreams.co.uk/Catalogue/List84.aspx
Pictures really do not do these Athames justice at all, the detail is amazing, I LOVE mine!

Pagan dreams is a really good store, the prices are low compared to other stores online. I meant to add earlier that the whole altar is lovely. O neday I'll get to make my own, without kids and cats destroying it!lol.

Thanks everyone!

As you all know I'm still a pretty new Wiccan so a lot of this is trial and error kind of thing. I'm forever changing thing's around on it. I have slight OCD so I like thing's to be perfect but for some reason (to me) they never quite look that way lol.

Sobek ~ I got my Wand from a New Age shop around 30 miles away from where I live. My mum took me shopping there and we stumbled across this particular store just as we were on our way back to the car to go home I saw this Wand and wanted it straight away, I had no money on me (outta work at the mo) so my mum bought it me, bless her I haven't seen one the exact same on the net as yet, similar but not the same.

Butterfly ~ The Altar cloth (the black one) is actually a head scarf lol I would of never worn it like that as I'm much more of a pink kinda girl, so when I saw it I knew it would look cool on my Altar. The white one underneath is just one of my mums old table cloths lol. Again, I got the black one while out shopping for £2, not over the net, if I see one or similar I'll post you the link.
Pagan Dreams rocks!!!

Greetings! Egyptian athame is beautiful!

That is a lovely alter setup. I have just recently looked at a photographer’s idea, of how a wiccan alter might look. Did a keyword search for Wicca on one of those sites like Corbis. Not mentioning the name of that site here, but a real wiccan alter looks much better. I found also photos of a witch home. It was just a house, the photographer took pictures from different directions. I suppose a witch invited the photographer for publicity. A close-up portrait type photo, of the witch raising earth energy. Seen a whole bunch of pics, this big old witch tree in the woods.

I think a photographer would just go nuts,
if he had a chance at photographing an alter like yours.

Spiral Wind ~ I don't quite understand what you're saying? In one breath you're saying "it's a lovely alter setup" (your words and spelling not mine) and in the next breath you're saying "a real wiccan alter looks much better" and "I think a photographer would just go nuts, if he had a chance at photographing an alter like yours"??? Which is it? Also why do you think this?
At the end of the day I love it and as long as I love it then quite frankly I couldn't give a shit what anyone else thinks of it A photographer? Why would I have a photographer taking pic's of my Altar anyway, I wouldn't If you could back-up what you said though it would be nice. I might have got what you meant wrong but it's pretty contradicting

I'd like to see some pic's of yours

Spiral Wind ~ I don't quite understand what you're saying?

I was referring to your alter, as a good example of a wiccan alter. At the same time was also thinking about how in the past some wiccans used to do some publicity. I mentioned seeing something like that recently, which might be from many years ago.

I'm not suggesting that anyone should do things for publicity.
i'm sorry if it come out that way. I'll be more careful next time.
If this helps, the one photo I mentioned, a photographer had put together what he thought an alter might look like (to photograph).
