I have been meaning to share this picture for almost 2 months now and keep forgetting to put it up. Words can do no justice to how pleased I am with my altar/shrine. I have been so honored and blessed with this sacred space and have already received so much peace, comfort, joy, success and more in all magickal workings, devotions and meditations there. I have it set up now at a comfortable level for myself. I have plans to add a few things in the future and will be “winterizing” it before long. However, here is a pic taken about a month and a half ago following ritual (on Samhain).
As I post this, I wonder what people’s opinions are of posting pics. I know as part of the DP you are asked to include pics in your essay and I have no problem with this. I also have no problem in posting this picture as well. But I imagine some would think otherwise. If anyone happens by to read this, what is your views and opinions on posting pictures of before, suring and after rituals. I see many of the web sites from ADF Groves and Members who have photo galleries full of ritual pictures. Just curious how individuals feel and think about it.

“Great picture - captures Samhain well. I love to see pictures of people’s altars and rituals. I wish I thought of taking them more often.”

“I definitely have no issue with pre- and post- ritual pictures. Pictures from during a ritual have the potential to be disruptive at the time (noise, flash photography), so care should be taken.”

It looks beautiful. I will confess that all pictures you have posted of your land have made me most envious of your home! :o)
Can’t say much about taking pictures, as I’m pretty much a Solitary.
I think in principal, before and after would be ok – but maybe not during. I can’t help feeling that going into a church and taking pictures of someone knelt in prayer would not really be appropriate. For me, circle time is not really any different.
That’s just me though. :o)”
