low energy e-offerings: picrews

i love using picrew for my e-offerings because of all the customization options (and sometimes i'll use the same picrew several months apart to see how my offerings/associations for a certain deity might change over time)! here are some of my faves:

people/character picrews

TOON ME! by hellosunnycore — full body, has 2 body type options (other body type is linked in picrew's description), LOTS of customizations

Adventurer Avatar by anjubatus — full body, fantasy, fun props/setting options

sushicore! by alohasushicore — bust-up, i rly like the hair options in this for some reason??

Bright's Picrew Hell by brightgoat — bust-up, the accESSORIES IN THIS!!!!!!, fun background options :>

Androgynous picrew! by oldmaker — chest-up, again - the ACCESSORIES (and lots of animal/pet options!!)

objects/food

Fuzzy worm maker by Vian13 — i mean why NOT make a custom worm on a string for your deities?

Sword Creator by iienex — it's all in the title, love this one so much the options are all so pretty!

お弁当メーカー by obentomaker — customized bento! perfect for when you want to give food offerings but can't give physical food

식사 픽크루 by 맥 — similar to above, but this time it's a plate of food!

locations/environments (typically use these to make digital altar spaces!)

Altar Sketch by Camade — really made to be a sacred space, deity/spirit altar/etc! love this one A LOT

テラリウムメーカー by 庭猫もる — fishbowl/terrarium-type environments (but more whimsical since it isn't confined to what you could realistically put in a fisbowl lol)

Oh how I love the nights where I feel the joyful urge to redesign my standing altar:

I am so excited for the upcoming vernal equinox; in my practice, Apollo leaves us on the winter solstice and returns on the first day of spring. I’ve missed him so much - but with every passing day I can feel him returning to us with the sun.

To honor this I themed my altar around him - disassembling his solo altar and reincorporating its elements back into my standing altar.

My Lord is returning to the Earth, and my joy cannot be contained!

Y’all my partner just told me that when he buys wine he looks for wine bottles that could go on my altars- like excuse me while I sob

another updated altar photo! i managed to get my Lord Zeus statue back on my tiny, tiny shelf and i’m so happy that i lit two blue candles for Him. i also took off my spirit board because she needs rest from being the foundation of so much energy. i added my greek alphabet oracle stones and my runes. i also added my stack of tarot that i draw my daily card from so i always spend time with my altar everyday. it’s nice having all of my divination methods on my altar now (pelduim, oracle, tarot, and runes) and im excited i’ll be able to spend yule without worrying about school since classes end two weeks before the 21st!

Revamping my altar - Part 02 (result)

Here is the link to part 01.

Hiya again, short of three weeks later,

So as I said in the previous post, I was in the process of remaking my altar. I finally received everything I needed and wanted to share the result :)

I decided the simply keep the statues white and add gold accents to switch things up a little. Repainted Artemis. Didn't touch Hekate because I still have this project to clay-model something special for Her (will have to wait till I have more free time towards the end of the month, hopefully...). Demeter I kept colorful, just because I'm still in love with it.

All new statues are 3D printed, which is not my fav material (I prefer plaster), it's pretty light, BUT I really liked the design and couldn't find them in plaster at a not exorbitant price. The Hermes one in particular is one of my favorite bust of Him.

I went with the allegory of sculpture of Klimt for my central artwork. First because I love this piece, and also because it has this mix of antiquity and modernity which I try to aim for in my practice. I managed to find a wood-printed one on redbubble so it's awesome because i was able to just put it there without damaging the walls.

I also organized my mess of incense collection in a box to avoid having dust everywhere.

I even found these amazing little candle receptacles (tbh i thing these are meant for tablewear) that look kinda antique, and they were pretty reasonably priced.

Also pretty happy I managed to find faux-pomegranate branches because it adds height a little colorful touch that goes well with everything else (plus the rich symbolism of pomegranate obviously).

Overall, I'm super happy with the result, I think it matches the way I feel pretty well. It will probably continue to evolve in the future since I like the idea of the altar being and live and changing thing.
