I've never had a permanent altar before, I've always just reconstructed new ones for every sabbat or ritual I was doing, and take it down when I was finished. I don't like with my parents anymore and have more space for myself. I've erected a permanent altar in my bedroom.

[Photos to come!]

It's on a piece of furniture that serves as a table that doubles as a storage box. It's currently not being used for that, since I don't want to disturb the items on the altar in order to get things from the box. I intend to erect shelves within the next few months for my altar instead. 

I should specify that this is an ADF Druid's altar, so it doesn't have all the things

The focus point is currently a painting that was given to my boyfriend, painted by his grandmother. Thickly painted, it shows ocean water meeting the shore. Trees with red leaves grow from cliff-like land, with a lobely pale blue sky in the background. I enjoy it as a representation of the three realm and the role of the World Tree in uniting them.   

Too the back of the altar, I have an ornate box, a pine cone, and an incense  stick holder. They are all made of wood. The box is a new addition and not at all Druidic: it's for storing my Yule resolutions until Samhain. It carries some meaningful stones. I don't know if I'll be keeping it there. 

I have a small glass decanter with a plug, in which I keep the well waters - which I can ceremonially pour into the well representation. Next to it is a wineglass, a tarnished silver goblet holding salt, a blue oil burner with a few small bottles of oil for offerings (ccurrently: lavendar, pine, frankincense, 'Cernunnos', 'Persephone'.)

 Finally, at the very front, a small glass jar with grapes and cherry designs on it serves as my well. It is places on a beveled mirror, meant to hold candles. A shell is placed on the mirror.

 (I used to place the chalice on the mirror, and use the mirror in the place of the pentacle. I was working with a dark goddess whom I associate with the mysterious depths of the dark sky and sea - the mirror was to represent this, and reflect the blessings of the Goddess. It's still important, but I don't know how to fit this in my druidism.)

At front and center is a deep green offering bowl, and then to its right, three red votive candles in thick glass holders to serve as the sacred fire.

In the future, I plan to paint a new image for my altar (I have a few in mind.) I'm also looking for a white, unscented three-wick candle. I realise this may be hard to find, so maybe I can commission one.
