I had so much fun in December creating my Winter Solstice Altar that I've decided to continue making new monthly altars as a kind of spiritual practice. Now that I'm no longer facilitating my drumming circle and my favourite local labyrinth has ceased being available for walking, I'm feeling the need for another outlet through which to focus these energies.
Each monthly altar will have a theme built around an aspect of the Divine Feminine or a spiritual value of some description. And I'm just bursting with ideas! Also, bursting with Goddess statues -- I'm a collector and currently have about 75 to choose from. I won't run out for a while, LOL!
I intend to post a photo and description of each altar on that month's Full Moon. So January's altar will be posted next Thursday, but I just wanted to give a little introduction first as to what I am doing in this new blog series.

We have to find outlets where we can these days. I look forward to see your altars.
Sounds wonderful--can't wait to see them!
well, this is going to be fun!
Look forward to seeing your Full Moon Altars Debra.
It sounds interesting. I look forward to it!
Oooo I can't wait to see what you do! xoxo
Awesomeness, friend D. Sending love, cat.
Looking forward to it! We have a local drum circle on the beach here. I'm not sure if they are still doing it right now but I'd be afraid to go now anyway. It will be nice when I can get back to it.
This is such a great idea!
I'm totally looking forward to this. Every full moon? Sounds fantastic. I'm all for positive energy now that I don't feel that there's a weight over us (and the US).
XOXO
I love this idea and I adore your creativity! Looking forward to what you intend to share with us.
well, an opportunity for me to learn something new! I look forward to your new blog feature.
I wanna see!
Ohhh that sounds fantastic looking forward to seeing them.
Can't wait!!
What a good idea. I'll be excited to see your altar change month to month. Mine seldom changes except to add the odd one or two things for the season/time.
OMG!! I've been doing the same thing. It's actually quite fulfilling. CHanging my alter makes me feel better. It gives me something to really think about.
Hello Debra, Did you know that in Taiwan one of the most honored deities is the goddess Matsu? There are temples devoted to her all over the island.

Love the idea....can't wait to see.
Thanks for sharing your sweet memories about The Guess Who.
75 Goddess statues? That must be a record or something.
I love it Debra, and I'm looking forward to it!!
@ Parnassus (Jim) -- I have not heard of Matsu before. I just checked her out on Wikipedia. Thanks for telling me about her!
@ Pam Nash and @ Leanna -- I'm glad you both know the joy of creating altars too! Fabulous.
I'm looking forward to this!
So I say to myself, self, how many goddesses do we think there are? The Google can help me find out, right? Ah HA! Wikipedia knows all. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_goddesses
I was going to count them. Maybe later.
I hope you don't plan on mooning us at any of these altars -- leave such behaviour to HRH, eh?
@ Mike -- Looks like I've got a lot more collecting to do, LOL!
oooh this sounds good. I'm looking forward to seeing your altars.
Interesting, I'll have to see what this is all about!
I can't wait to see/read about them!!
Ooh! I'm looking forward to the pictures.
I'm curious and looking forward to this.
I know I'll enjoy your altars.
Love,
Janie
I look forward to this.
I love this Deb! I can't wait! Big Hugs!
I'm looking forward to seeing this!
Sounds wonderful! Looking forward to all that you'll share.
That would be easy around here as it is seldom cloudy, good luck at yours !
What a wonderful idea! I think I will join you. My primary altar is in my bedroom, but I think an altar on the hearth is a lovely addition. It is a good way to foster focus and centeredness.
(Also, I may not have as many images of the Divine Feminine, the One Goddess of Many Faces, but Quan Yin is in every room of the house minus the bathrooms.)
@ e -- Another altar devotee, so great! And having Quan Yin energy in every room of the house is wonderful!
75 goddess's? holycrap. How cool is that? I can't wait for the first one..
wow sounds cool that 75 statue !
how wonderful that you have so many ides to share about this topic dear Debra :)
i am looking forward to your coming adventures
best of luck friend!
I'm looking forward to seeing your altars, Debra. The image of the woman holding the moon is gorgeous and spiritual!
I like this idea.
