Samhain Altar
A photograph of my paternal grandmother is surrounded with candles. Three runes are placed in front of her photograph - jera, eiwaz, and pertho (representing, for me, the year, death, and rebirth). The oil burner scents the room with rosemary, for rememberance. A dead butterfly is propped against the photo frame. The banksia vase is filled with crow and magpie feathers that I've collected over the past few years.

Beautiful remembrance altar for Samhain. Thanks for posting pictures.
I have a small permanent shrine on a wall shelf with pictures of my great-aunt, both grandfathers and my sister.
This past year I have been finding old photos of my ancestors-- some are from the late 1800's or early 1900's and we haven't been able to identify the family members yet.

I know I'm a little late, but that's a lovely altar, very simple and fitting.
