You’re always so creative! I’ve never really thought about insect specimens as being spiritual in any way, but they were living beings, so it certainly makes sense.

I’ve been feeling lately that there is a bunch of stuff on there that maybe isn’t as vital to me as a healer as it is the the wiccan vein into which I first came. I need to do some research and really think about how to better align the alter with what I do and the path I’ve chosen. Not to mention I need more workspace and to me a healer with a workspace driven alter just makes practical sense.

Our little homestead is adding bees this year, and I couldn’t be happier. I’ve always loved them, since childhood. What a beautiful altar!!

I especially love those metallic green bees as they live here in Michigan too and are always busy in the hosta and cosmos flowers. They also, along with hummingbirds, have a tendency to show up often in my sacred spots as well as a wilder corner of the yard chosen by the genii loci.
Lovely post as always!

They look like they shouldn’t really exist, like they are something that a kid dreamed up.

It’s so funny to read about you heading into spring while here in Australia we are finally, FINALLY, getting the cooler weather that signals the descent into Autumn. I’m so happy – I have twice as much energy and I am so positive and hopeful at the moment.

In Finnish folklore bees are called the cattle/stock/herd (sorry for my rusty english) of the Earth Mother ,seen as sacred also here. Here we have to wait for spring for another two months! But the sun has finally started shining on the high drifts of snow in the last three days, makes my head spin – and the crows go crazy!

I found your post through the FuckYeahAltars tumblr, and I think it’s just gorgeous! I especially love it because I only just moved out to the Pacific Northwest at the beginning of this month from Pennsylvania, and I’m really excited to get to know a whole new ecosystem in my new home!

Also, I was wondering if you’d be willing to let me republish this post on the Pagan Newswire Collective’s nature blog, No Unsacred Place (http://nature.pagannewswirecollective.com/). I’d love to be able to feature this kind of creative use of altar space to reflect the local bioregion. You’d get full attribution, with an author’s bio and a link back to your site. If you’d be interest, please drop my an email at:

Or, if you have any other essays or images you want to share, you can check out our submission guidelines here: http://nature.pagannewswirecollective.com/submissions/

Thanks again for the awesome post!

Lol are you sure you are not a homeschooler ? I am just about to write a post on natural history & nature study ! I remember making a pin board with our ds Indigo when he was 5yo he used insects found in the garden but he did not know them all so he made up names for them and when my sister came over it appeared so professional she thought he was speaking of true insects lol he must’ve been good she is an anthropologist ;-)
my sil just sent me a link on how to raise bees from the wild ! I am so interested in being able to suplly myself with wax .
we are having snow the next few days so not sure how long before we get the return of the crow . I’m trying to stay positive and going over the calendar with ds11 when we can start seeds .
the photos are so earthy ♥

The lore in myth and legend about bees world wide is very rich and varied.
