Landlords coming for an early annual inspection so I cleaned and updated the altar!
Vacuumed and wiped down. I've added two extra shelves for the fun of it and to declutter the main altar
I also dusted and reorganized the featured books on the altar shelf. I had Marcus Aurelius on there twice and I decided I wanted more actual magick there and less western esoteric history (that was all moved to my office for study)
I've decided that skulls should be at every level, but I don't have another skull for the top shelf however there is a preserved snake and a wizard statue so maybe that's enough until I can get another stone skull. Unfortunately they all have a meaning and I like them because, with no other evidence, several people all at once assumed I would like Stone skulls. The only thing I can imagine is that I had a skull I was given by my dad and put it on the altar. So they all have a meaning I should get into some day.
For those interested here is the book list:
Encyclopedia of Vampires and other monsters
encyclopedia of haunted places
encyclopedia of religions, witchcraft, and magic
Grimoire for the apprentice wizard
companion for the grimoire for the apprentice wizard
the three books of occult philosophy
the Greek magical papyri
complete stoic works of Marcus Aurelius, Plato, and Tacitus
Hidden Symbolism of Alchemy and the Occult Arts
the modern witchcraft grimoire
the witch's master grimoire
theistic satanism of magnus opus
Grimoire of magick (of the previous book)
The three magical books of Solomon
A Self made by magic
Ritual
Atomic Habits
Rosicrucian Trilogy
Esotericism in western culture
magic in ancient Greece and Rome
the hermetica
Pathways to bliss
the way of zen
small magics
