Funny story. I had brought that down for candlelight one night for dinner but we didn't use it. So I placed it on my desk near my laptop. The heat from the laptop bent the candle in a direction that was different. There was an object between the heat and the candle and I think that is what bent it. It seemed wrong to toss it when it was breaking so I kept it.
I knew where to put it when I started to think of my Moses altar. It does seem fitting. The staff is actually there for the same reason. That staff is going to become a tool in his honor in my conjure work when I get working on it. Before I start actually praying over the staff and working the chants to it I want it to build up a little more power and it seemed right to do so.
There are going to be more things put there over time. I may get a quill pen there. Moses as well as being a prophet and teacher was a scribe as well. So to me that would be a proper item to use there. He did write the first five books of the bible. So for me in sacred writing he is an important person to work with.
I actually think I am going to add some snake skin to the altar right now.
Both the Moses altar and the altar for Saint Micheal/Archangel Micheal are in the works. I have only just begun to pray to and work with these spirits. I anticipate things growing and changing over time. I just wanted to share my starting position here.
