Katie Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 (edited) Really cool thread, to se everyone's places. Here is my little "corner": Edited July 23, 2019 by Katie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djellyfish Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 So many beautiful spaces, and they're all so unique! I can tell a little about everyone's personality by looking at your spaces. With 5 kids and 6 cats I don't have any permanent space for anything of my own, but I am looking at yours and dreaming of what I'll do when I have more room in the future...

bookshop Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 I haven't been back to this thread lately and everyone's spaces look so lovely!! I just realized that my deck collection has grown so much even since February (um, oops?) that my stand looks a little different than it did back when I first showed you all my space. Here it is now, a bit more crowded: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanderer Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 I don't actually have a Tarot corner. My books are minimal (except for Taoism etc., which has a case to itself), my crystal ball is on display on its own, and my crystals are all in the geological teaching collections. Candles and incense are on the hearth, as they would be. The cards have a home, though, and that home travels with me... the advantage of only using one deck!

It's Cedar of some sort, so smells wonderful too! Last year I had the urge to go looking around nearby cities for a home for the cards, and the first few antique centres didn't turn up much; a few old boxes that were nice, but not perfect. Then this appeared in a little shop in my home town, and the space inside (lined with red velvet) holds the cards with about 1 mm to spare on all sides. Some things are just meant to be... 😎 It's supposedly from Eastern Europe, and maybe 50-100 years old, but there's nothing obvious to pin it down further.

How lovely, that it was just sitting and waiting for you in your own back garden so to speak! Very apropos. 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bodhiseed Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 I love seeing all the individuality reflected in everyone's spaces!🌻@ilweran and @Katie, your secretary desks remind me of my much beloved granddad. @Wanderer, that box is lovely!💚 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katie Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Thanks @Bodhiseed. I have a sort of "crush" on secretaries. One can get them for like $20 in second hand stores. We have three on our house. Katie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilweran Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 @Bodhiseed Thank you, the bureau was my grandparents, it still has some of my grandfathers bits and bobs in it that just seem to belong to it now after so many years of them always being there. I don't think he used it much though, he was writing a book (technical, not fiction) but I only saw him use his typewriter on the dining table. He often tried to show me how to type properly, but it's difficult for small fingers to use a proper, old-fashioned typewriter! Funnily enough, we were looking through some of his old books that have been stored in the shed and found a book by Dion Fortune of all people. I knew he'd joined some sort of spiritualist church and had held seances but it was still such an odd thing to see. My grandmother was Catholic so goodness knows what she thought of the whole thing! I know she was not too happy about the Ouija board that he apparently had... @Wanderer I love that box, so beautiful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's long and narrow but big enough to fit a cot, which lives up on the shelf. When we don't have company, that's my space. Before that it behind a piece of furniture that sat in a corner diagonally. When I was a child, my 'dollhouse' was the floor in the bottom of my closet. Thank you for bringing that memory back! I have a shelf on top of a small bookcase. It started off as just a pinboard that I'd put meaningful things on, and a few small ornaments with sentimental value - and it appears to have morphed into an altar of its own accord.

Lady Butterfly Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 I don't have a space of my own right now, but I dream of one for the future, so it was fun to live vicariously through all of you and your lovely spaces.

Lovely collection you have there. Thankyou!! I find the more conventional silk/satin bags somewhat suffocating in their energy so I was glad to have the organza alternative, the sheerness of which incidentally makes decks easier to feel. It's also quite a bit cheaper. 10 hours ago, Saturn Celeste said: I have the round Dreamtime oracle deck too!!

I know there are a couple (very attractive) Dreamtime decks on the market, but the round deck seems to have the most detailed myths. Also, living in Australia too, I find it exudes a very positive lucky energy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RavenOfSummer Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 Finally did some work on my altars for autumn and Samhain! I intend for this to be my Samhain altar- will be adding some items to remind me of loved ones who has passed, as well as more candles. I made this pumpkin in my pottery class, with putting it on my altar in mind 😊 I love this little painted Samhain rock, which I got from an artist on Etsy. My other altar I made in a more autumn/harvest theme. The rowan berries around the chalice I collected in Ireland. The chalice is another pottery class piece.

xTheHermitx Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Wow... the second thread I looked at, snd it is soooo cool to see how everyone brings the energy to their study! I can't wait to get to a situation where I can do the same thing. A little too "mobile" right now, but this might be a sign in itself to "land" snd ground some energy...to make a true home space to return to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
