There is a 30 day Pagan journaling challenge for the month of September set up on Instagram and I thought it would be fun to do it – and would get me back into the swing of things as well.

And back into blogging here as I answer the posts. (I’m not much of an Instagram person.)

Today’s question is:

Do I change my altar for the season? Why or why not?

That’s a loaded question!

I wish I could say yes, but I can’t.

I always want to, and think about it, but time has a way of doing weird sneaky things around me so I never actually get it done.

Plus…

I have a confession.

My altar is a mess.

Somehow it always ends up as a “magical dumping ground.”  Anything and everything with any sort of connection to my religious or magical practice ends up on it.

I almost never work at my altar anymore and it’s kind of a chicken and the egg sort of situation.

Do I not use it because it ends up being used as a magical dumping ground in between uses?

Or does it end up being used as a magical dumping ground because I don’t use it often?

Things to ponder…
