This is Lord Riekin's personal altar, which was once a dry sink (the back is taken off). The cabinets underneath hold all his goodies, very convenient. Notice that the two candles used are black and white for the male and female principles. His representations of the Lord and Lady on his altar are the cauldron on the right for the Lady and the anvil on the left for the Lord. Some traditions do not allow the use of iron on the altar, but being a smith, his demands it. What isn't metal on his altar, is wood - his pentacle, chalice, wand, tarot box, and incense box. The broom he made himself; he grew the broom corn, harvested it, and harvested the branch for the handle. He wove them together using natural sinew. His learning is done from the "ground up"; he enjoys learning to do things completely by hand and as our ancestors did them. His altar is a reflection of his personality.
Above the altar are the many aspects of the Goddesses he honors, and also the Greenman. The picture at the top is done in ink, and is actual two pictures side by side in the frame. The left side depicts three faces of the God, while the right side depicts three faces of the Goddess. They were done by "Priestess" (Cindy M. Sudano) who travels to many of the Renassaince Festivals. Her work is inspired and beautiful, and we have several of her pictures around the house. Another wonderful artist is Nybor, who works in oils or prints, and we also own many of his works as well. Any altar is greatly enhanced by artwork and statuary.
