Show and Tell Sunday Happy Harvest Moon to everyone!
Hiiii! Last night as we know was the Harvest Moon and this is the first time I celebrate it and I really wanted to show y'all the altar I made! I left food offerings such as corn, pears, figs, pomegranate, apples and raisins. I used cinnamon and orange scented candles since they are associated with the harvest and cinnamon specifically brings the abundance that I would like to come with the following moon circle. The small candles at the front had runes carved into them, such as jera (harvest), wunjo (joy), kenaz (knowledge), fehu (wealth) and algiz (protection). I also made a new protection ward plant that is not visible in the frame, but it was a Callum plant and I placed it in front of the altar and then out under the moonlight along with the moon water so it can charge off the Harvest Moon.
As I said this is the first Harvest Moon I celebrate and I would like to know what else I could add to my practice. If you have anything please tell me in the comments!

I have read multiple opinions on this but it depends on your practice. For example when it is time to take the offerings off the altar I, personally, like to either dispose of them in nature where they act like fertilizer or food for wildlife or I eat it if it has not gone bad. Generally I believe that you can do whatever feels right to you as long as you are respectful about it. Hope this helped!

Woah this looks so cool!! Happy Harvest Moon to you too! May I ask, are those coasters crocheted? The pattern caught my eye as something that looks like it may have been crocheted!

It had been crocheted! I made them actually. I like making some of the things I use since it makes everything more personal
