Winter Altar, 2008, by Ms. Graveyard Dirt Our first ever Winter altar, which I pieced together in 2008. (Yeah, these pictures are that damn old. This past December I’ve tried incorporating old shit along with the new, so at least half of this month’s journal content comes from previous holiday seasons.) All the central pieces displayed on this altar are 2008 specific. The miniature chimney was my Halloween gift from Italics, the didukhy (wheat bundle) was the very first one I created from ritually reaped wheat and the twig stag and wreath were both clearance bin finds at a home decorating store. Every year the Winter altar slightly evolves, but, for the most part, the basic idea never really changes. Last year we added lights to illuminate the garland running behind everything and added matching wreaths on the black offering plates, this year two identical hassocks were thrown on top of the sheepskin rug and were used during the Yule Log’s “consecration” (ahem).
