Wow, I was worried a bit about the long shipping time, but finally they are there. The beads are gemstones, the black ones are matte and simple Onyx (’ Black onyx is a protection stone . Its purpose is to help prevent the drain of personal energy while at the same time absorbing and transforming negative energy’, and in the white one, that’s called goldsone (benefits: ’ Goldstone is the master healer. It’s known to have healing powers on the throat, thyroid, and tonsils’). - so I hope they are also useful :))

All these packages are so beautiful and thoughtful!
I received a lovely secret Santa gift - worth the extra long wait for the post! She sent a sublime stitching transfer pen, fabulous iron on embroidery designs, and art card, as well as a great white pen for artwork, all wrapped in some fab fabric scraps. And best of all a wonderful layered artwork with a favourite Rumi quote.
With the international postal forms, I know it’s from @calluna - thank you so much , I love everything!

Deliveryyyy! My package from Equinox arrived after some adventures through the postal system. And I’m so glad it did! First thing I saw:
(Insert Cookie Monster noises here)
Behind all the yummies, a beautiful tin… What’s inside?
Wo-hoa! 
A full on portable altar kit!
This is freaking amazing! Pulling out the contents of the pouches:
Painted altar cloth:
Divination chain with interchangeable pendants, plus a star and pentacle pendant:
Offering bowl, incense, willow wand, smoky quartz:
I just noticed the offering bowl chipped in transit, but I’ll fix that right up.
A wee sewn pouch with candles, and a stamped clay candle holder:
Ingredient bottles with tiny labels I can attach, as well as a bottle of black sand and Himalayan pink salt:
I was taken by complete surprise with this because I didn’t cheat and look at the swap spreadsheet (okay, I may have accidentally seen the name while doing something else, but the actual gift item was out of view)! It is so much more than I would have imagined, and what better time to start a new ritual/practice?
Huge thanks to my Secret Santa…@Tapestry!

Now that is a great idea…an altered tin kit with more than what you need to make something fabulous!
@PrincessP…that is such a gorgeous pouch…especially using the bit of embroidered linen…

I’m so glad it finally arrived. I was convinced the postal gods ate it as that box was sent priority mail on 11/25! But ack on the offering bowl chipping! Should have wrapped that better, sorry.
I hope you enjoy the altar and have a wonderful 2021!

It took a little while to get to NZ from Sweden but it’s been worth the wait - I got my secret Santa gift from Spring Ephemeral! Some beautiful hand printed stationery, fun ephemera for mixed media art, a great cloud texture stamp and an amazingly cute hand carved snail mail stamp - perfect for me 
AND a wonderful long letter too!!
The little snail stamp is from the Frog and Toad stories and even says “Toad” on it - wow! Your carving skills are awesome! Thank you so much @Annchen!!

I’m glad you like it! I had lots of fun with the snail stamp. It was also nice to have an excuse to flip through my old postage stamp collection and pull out fun and interesting stamps for you.

I received an Etsy giftcard last night from Stripey Sweater! Thank you! I hear there may be a package still inching it’s way toward my front porch so I’ll post pics if the mail gods decide to smile on me and deliver.
This has been a lovely swap. Thank you for organizing @thanate & @calluna!
