On the wall in my entryway, I have this shelf set up as an altar to the Goddess Brid, and also to the Snake Goddess. They are depicted as small bronze figures and are on the right and left of the candle in the center. I try to always have a candle lit for them, my own version of Bridget's Perpetual Flame. The candle sits on a small potholder, to keep the shelf safe from any heat. The shelf itself is a dragon, and was handpainted from greenware, by Soluna, in gorgeous shades of plum overlaid with gold. The pentacle on the wall above was a Yule present. This is a simple set-up, and safe for a lit candle as there is nothing above it to catch fire, and also high enough to be out of the reach of children and pets. This is a permanent altar in my home.
