Here’s my first attempt at making a tin shrine/alter! I used a mint tin which was originally blue but I spray painted it gold. This one is for Apollo and the content is as follows:

•Picture of Apollo statue

• Citronella tea light candle

•two pressed hyacinth flowers

•A sigil for health and healing (tied into a scroll)

• Some ethically-sourced citrine
