The Well, The Fire, The Tree....and The World

[badstar]

...another view.



The bonsai tree that I'm growing for my altar.



The Well, currently represented by an abalone shell.



The Fire (It's what I have available right now. Keep in mind that my Fire altar is only about 2 feet above this one.)



The Driftwood Tree (I found this piece of driftwood on the shore of a lake in Texas in 1998.)



...and the World. This ocean jasper sphere looks like a planet. So it represents the World on my altar.



My little sand garden.



A book of writing, dedicated to Polyhymnia and the pen I use with it- which will be moved to a separate altar for her as soon as I can get one set up.



A peacock feather...the iridescence was captured amazingly well, it just glows!



Two incense holders- the first one looks like the long, frilly part of a peacock feather.





Miscelaneous other items on the altar: two zils (I need to get a new set), a tiny bottle with citrine, orange garnet, blue and green apetite and celestite crystals, a clear quartz with a seahorse, a rose quartz with a dragonfly, a glass pebble with a Chinese character and the word "passion", and a marble that I've had for ages that just seems to belong there.

i love your sand garden! and those are some nice zills. i need some new ones, too; i have a very pretty pair that have little flowering vines etched into them, but they don't sound all that great.

thnaks! i got the garden in one of those little kits in the bargain section at barnes and noble. I also got the zils at barnes and noble, in a little giftbox set on the little rack of tiny books at the checkout. They don't sound bad, not the best, but for $6...hey, I'm poor, it works.
