Great Good Fortune, Sky Father, and the four daughters of Eros and Sophia.

At dusk, they glow in the hearth-light of the sacred focus. This altar was built earlier this year in appreciation for an origial sacred story, or myth, given to me by Fortuna. Those named above, as well as others, are key players in this "new" myth. I shall post it to this site sooner or later.

Outdoor Earth Spirit Shrine/Shrine of the Gnomes

Gnomes function under the aegis of Fortuna. Gnomes are earth spirits traditionally associated with abundance, especially of precious stones and metals. Holding such duties, they seem especially connected to the work of Goddess Fortuna. Under a very tall conifer, this modern resin gnome sits atop a cairn of stones I've gathered from personally meaningful or sacred places, witch camps, the homes of friends, places I've lived, etc. The red stick has the image and name of Thor and was given to me by a friend. It is traditionally used to "stake a claim" or right to inhabit a particular spot. Like the appearance of the modern gnome, it's Germanic in origin and helps me to honor those ancestors. This shrine is located in the northern quarter of our lot.
