My Solstice Altar! This is my first time taking a picture of a private Sabbat altar. Woohoo!

The ceremony was taken (with slight creativity) from Crone’s Book of Charms and Spells. I love Valerie Worth so much lately. It was brilliant.

Altar Explanation:

• Of course, lots of gold (you should’ve seen my toga)
• my broom leans against the altar
• golden candle of the Sun on top of a block of beeswax to show what we come from.
• bells and ribbons around the table with which the stang branch will be bawmed.
• The stang leans against the West end of the table, to be used as a representation of The World Tree and the ascension of the sun and us.
• Quarter candles on the rim of the altar dedicated to the four Grigori Star Spirits (Aldebaran, Regulus, Antares, Fomalhaut.)
• cross quarterly tea lights guarding the central Sun Candle
• Antique porcelain chalice with a child figure hanging from the handle for libation.
• Indian serving pitcher with gold leaf.
• Bowl of incense to be poured over…
• Cauldron of soil and dead, dried sunflowers soaked in alcohol to be lit on fire as an allusion of spiritual movement, transforming fire, and rising fumes.
• A drum rests just out of the camera’s reach.
• Dried summer flowers, and peonies. (traditionally these would be sunflowers, marigolds, daisies, and other yellow flowers but I was short on time. 
• The “Crone’s Book of Charms and Spells” by Valerie Worth; from which this ritual was born.

This book and the Crone’s Book of Magical Words are both brilliant. While I don’t go by prewritten rituals myself, there’s a wealth of inspiration in the ceremonies featured in the book.
