Altars

[AstralSnowfall666]

I'm sure there's already a post for this but I can't seem to find it so I guess here's part 2 :p
I just wanted to share my altar with my fellow SS both because I'm proud of it and also for some potential critique.
Also I hope you guys will post some of your altars here as well

Those pentacles which have two points towards the floor and one toward the sky are corrupted, it should be the other way around. http://www.angelfire.com/empire/serpentis666/Aware.html

Those pentacles could be viewed at any angle, so I don't think it matters how he has them positioned on the altar. I also don't think the point up pentacle is corrupted, but idk.

Point-up = pentacle
Point-down = pentagram
The pentagram represents the spark of life coming down into your soul through your crown.
The pentacle represents your energies being sent upward out of you and away.
They are somewhat opposites. I wouldn't say either one is bad; just different uses. We usually use the point-down because it relates to the empowerment and growth of our souls. But if I was working with a god sending them my energy to help them, the point-up would probably be better for that.

Had no idea about that, thanks.

I'm surprised nobody asked why in the second picture, there seems to be bread crumbs or whatever?

It makes me feel like it's disrespectful to trash your altar as if means nothing, but as a decoration... :/

I use the pentacle as a symbol of life and the pentagram as the symbol of the horned God.

Additionally, the pentagram can represent the order of the chakras with the hip chakras and the pentacle can represent the order with the shoulder chakras.

Basically I think both have their own symbology and I don't think they oppose each other at all.

Read that link carefully, friend. Father refers to the OVERuse of the point-up pentacle and Maxine there needs to be BALANCE between higher and lower chakras. It doesn't say "never use the point up pentacle ever it is a corruption"

I suspect the point up is the root chakra its symbol of the element of earth in the taro.
