Hello everyone. I graduated last week and am now spending time searching for a job and catching up on some writing (a blog novel, several short stories, and poetry). In addition to these important activities, I have successfully put up an extensive shrine. (Yes, that is an incense holder. Yes, I can burn incense now!) The ashes in the incense holder come primarily from cultus to Hermes and Hera, but I also lit lotus incense for Apollon last night at the Kyklos Apollon ritual. The unlabeled bowl beneath the Delphic Maxims contains more incense ashes and wax from birthday candles, which I like to use because they burn quickly and are well-suited to short rituals for the Theoi.
The large beeswax taper candle is for Hestia, as you can see by the label. The smaller candle to the left is the one I light for Apollon at Delphi Dawn every Saturday night/Sunday morning (depending on when dawn falls, this could be anywhere between 10 pm and 2 am). Smaller candles lie around it, and these are lit for various deities at various times of the day or week.
Dried flowers now occupy the offering bowl. I went for a walk/jog on one of the trails near the house a few days ago, and there were wildflowers everywhere. I decided to offer them to Artemis and Athene.
