Back from vacation. Had a great time, but I am glad I am home. I picked up a few things while on vacation for my altar/shrine. 


I plan to use this incense burner that I have had for awhile. With my love for trees, I think it will be perfect. I plan to repaint the book in its hand however and title it as one of my favorite books or something. The incense goes inside the tree and the smoke comes from the mouth and top. There is room on the little platter to hold more incense, an offering or such.

While at the Dutch Village, I searched for the perfect wooden bowl….one that FELT right for me. I found this one. When I got home I started sketching it. I am not finished, but wanted to share it anyway. My intention is to place Oak Leaves around the top and then cover the sides with something Celtic. I will then cover it with some good waterproofing and it will be done. I am pleased with it so far though. 

Since I will be outside, I will be using covered lanterns for my candles. I have several to choose from, but this is one of my favorite ones. 

I bought a nice little cauldron as well and already have several other things I will be using. I cannot seem to find a table I like. I was considering a concrete bench, but I am not that fond of that idea. I dreamed about a table a few days ago and think that, although it will be difficult, I can make the table myself. I want it to be and look as natural as possible, so I plan to use things from the woods here at home and hopefully I can get it somewhat similar to the one in my dream. 

If the weather is clear (raining today) I plan to get some things in place and start putting it all together. I will take pictures as I do and put them up. I have a few essays I worked on while on vacation and need to get them edited and up as well. I will most likely do that tomorrow. Meanwhile I am enjoying the area I have picked out and am very much at peace with this new journey.

    “Thanks so much. I hope to get it done this coming weekend. I plan to start building my table then as well. I will get pics up of the bowl as soon as I am finished. The neat thing is, it was hand carved and I got it for less than ten bucks. You cannot really tell the size in the pic, but it is about 12 inches.”
