My Mabon altar.
I really like this altar cloth because it includes so many different aspects of Fall - apples, leaves and even nuts as well as some great autumnal colors.
My main Goddess representation, a statue of Aquarius (also represents my birthday)
A nice round pumpkin to represent the feminine aspects of the harvest.
The bell which is pretty much always on my altar.
I chose gold and red candles because they remind me of the leaves in full bloom.
Crystals were chosen for a mixture of fall colors with black crystals scattered throughout to represent the fact that we are entering the dark half of the year. My center stone is actually a perfectly round rock that I found one day, I also use it in my new moon rituals.
The caldrons in the middle also represent entering the dark half of the year, with a beesewax candle nestled inside providing the light to guide us to Spring.
The apples and corn are also to represent the harvest.
The chalice is a normal part of my altar.
I was delighted to find such a phallic looking gord to include on the male half of my altar.
Finally, last but not least my God representation. Although I believe he is supposed to represent Faunus (there are small horns on his head and he was made in Italy) I associate him more with Pan, possibly because I’m drawn mostly to Greek, Celtic and Norse deities.
As a special bonus as I was setting up my altar I noticed that a small spider has taken up residence on my Aquarius statue. I hope she is happy spinning her web and will add her essence to my altar.
