An Altar For Holda

by Shannon Graves

wisdom of winterHolda’s altar should be in the kitchen, if possible. Find a shelf for her to stay on. The following items are all possibilities:

A handmade linen altar cloth, handwoven or hand-embroidered, white and blue.

A small model of a cottage.

White feathers.

Winter decorations, such as snowflakes or icicles. Christmas ornaments work well here.

Drop spindles and small spinning wheels.

Dried elderflowers or elderberry syrup.

Brooms, from tiny to large.

Flaxseed.

Linen thread.

Small livestock animals.

A miniature wagon.

Little elf figurines for the Huldrefolk.

Recipe books.

Cleaning supplies – keep these under the altar to be blessed.
