At the Close of the Black's Moon
First an update of My Altar Pictures --
I totally forgot to take a picture of this last time. This is my feather page that has traveled all across the world with me. It started on my closet in Korea, and moved to this shelf while I finished my first year. And it's still up now, having never come down. One feather colored in for each time I finished with each of them. And then my favorite picture of me in the center. I think very much that it will stay there throughout this whole year, too.
The Wall Above my Altar
This set is mostly Stephanie inspired. The card on the right was from Lady Black, and the one of the left was the envelope the card came in. There was a message for me from Lady Black about my intense lessons, choices, and experiences with Warrior Energy at Summer Solstice. And both needed to go on the walls. The pentacle at the top is also from her. This is how I'm marking this year.
See the single black ribbon? That little ribbon is from Rhi's oil sampler package present for Black. Each month I'm going to add the new ribbon up until each of the bottom three sections have four ribbons, and then the pentacle twelve. To mark for myself and my wall the passing through of this whole year.
My Altar to Lady Black and her Black Moon
A Right Side Close Up
I ended up tossing the Black Month Swap/Gift Runes out across the whole thing when I could find a different way to display them together. And honestly I think I love them best this way, too.
A Left Side Close-up
Where you can even see Rhi's oil on its paper, and I took this one specifically without flash so you could get an idea of how reflective the glass was, as that is my Black Mirror from the set I made. Currently, trapped forever, it's reflecting my elbow and part of my dresser and it's huge mirror. It's all light contingent, after all.
I have to say I truly ended up loving this Altar, coming back and exonerating Black, who gave my all the Colors, at the end and the beginning. Questions will be coming shortly, but I definitely wanted to make sure I got pictures from the end as well as the beginning. Since things tend to change throughout the months for me.
