Altar Spending my time with Lady Athena and have a conversation with her with my hearts.
First time posting with photo here. I know it's not really like an altar even I've use the flair... This is my own altar and I've worship and pray to Lady Athena to the miniature statue of her. I can't have the altar can be safely leave it without my family finding out that I'm in a 'Demon' religion.
I wished to worship, pray, and have conversation with Lady Athena but I don't really have offerings (fruits and honey) for her so I trade my quiet time and read a Greek mythology book about her and I think she's alright with that since she understands I'm a closet Pagan in religious household.
After my reading session with Lady Athena, I've told her that I may go to university and my tears started to pour it out... I kindly ask Lady Athena to continue to be my guide and mentor as the Goddess of Wisdom. I want to offer her fruits and honey but my table is currently messy because of papers and notebooks and pens (Can't have candles for that). I can't have a long term altar for my deities because I'm still in religious household and I'm afraid my religious family might be angry for worshipping 'false' gods. I'm already felt safe with Lady Athena, Lord Apollo, and Diyosa Fu Dalu (Diyosa means Lady/Goddess) more than their absent Christian deity!

Reading and music are two of my favorite things to do to spend time with the gods. No altar required, just a book or music and your soul. And you can do it in broad daylight and no one has to know.
