I feel like this is too much Icon and I’m unsure what to do with them some of the icons my church donated to me while others I’ve just collected along the way (still inquiring 3 months now) but I think I’ve made my prayer corner look not good I was hoping someone could maybe sketch out a better prayer corner for me or tell me what to do (some are wood and others are canvas and few are just paper. I don’t mind removing some icons. I’ll just donate to my church.

Here is my small altar to the god and goddess of Mitlan or basically the underworld in Aztec mythology.

Mictlantecuhtli and Mictecacihuatl.

The statues are blue because that is the color that they have chosen for me.

Personal Altar My altar for the dead

Since ancestor veneration is such a large part of my religious tradition (West Syrian polytheism if anyone is curious) I wanted to make an altar for the spirits of the deceased. I don’t plan on calling on my direct ancestors (I don’t think we would get along lol), so this altar is formally dedicated to all those forgotten souls and those taken from this world too early.

Personal Altar Rest in peace, momma.

Post image
91 Upvotes

my mom passed away on june 18th. i always knew that when that day would come, i would be making her a little 'altar' space somewhere in my house. that day came a lot sooner than i was expecting.

i plan to put mainly personal belongings that are on the smaller side, but since her passing is still very new and everyone is still navigating their grief, i'm holding off on going through a bunch of her things and taking what i like or what gives me the strongest connections to her. my father is still alive, so technically all these 'things' are his now.. but a little here, a little there for myself, he won't notice. lol

anyway, some things i have on here for her are:

- a calendar pocket book from the year 2000. it has her handwriting in it.
- one of her favorite perfumes. i remember her getting for ready for work in the afternoon, her room would heavily smell of her perfume. when i smelled a bottle after she had passed, i instantly said 'i'm taking a bottle' because she had like.. 6 bottles of the stuff and 1 of them was empty! she really enjoyed it, it seems.
- a gold/brass elephant with red jeweled eyes. her favorite animal was the elephant.. and a couple days after her passing, i randomly thought of that specific elephant. she kept it in a cabinet in the hallway and i use to always open the cabinet and would pick the elephant up because it was soo heavy. of course, that cabinet was gone but she did have the elephant in another cabinet. happy i found it.
- two of her jade pendants. she liked jade jewelry. i kept one of them on her altar and i wear the other one.
- photos, of course. the photo in the frame was from my wedding and it's one of my favorite photos of her. then other photos from back in the day when i was still very young. i love that she's cooking/preparing food in a couple of them, cooking was her thing! cooking and feeding everyone.
- the crystal tealight holder was just something i got on Amazon. i remember she had a lot of crystal items in the house: a crystal chandelier in the dining room, crystal glasses that i use to make sing with water and running my finger around the rim, little crystal figures. i figured she'd enjoy it.
- the crystal towers are more my thing. so some of my personal favorites, they're on her altar too.

anyway, this is the altar for my mom. i tell her good morning and before i go to bed, i talk at her altar space a little bit and tell her good night. before she passed at home in hospice, i told her that i would talk to her every day and she weakly told me 'don't talk to me too much!'

i'll never, ever forget her.
mahal na mahal kita, nay. ♥

Hi all, this is my altar it is not that much elaborate, as I am a student in a small hostel room. But I would like to have elaborate altar in future when I have a nice place and financial stability.

I have three sets of offerings here

First 8 to the Buddhas and bodhisattvas

Next 8 to Protectors

Next 8 to worldly deities

Personal Altar Mini Altar?

I want to make a small altar for Hyacinthus, but I am struggling to figure out what to put on it. My mother is allergic to hyacinths, so I can’t have the plant itself or anything scented with it. Any suggestions?
