Discreet/Practical Travel Altar: My Wallet!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Maybe it's just the Hermes devotee in me, but I love travel altars! I love how discreet they can be, but they can also have a practical use...which made me realize, my wallet is a travel altar devoted to Hermes!
The wallet itself can have a pattern and decorations reminiscent of a particular vibe, energy, spirit, deity...and prayer cards can double as idols without taking up too much space. Plus, anything you keep in it, like money, can be offerings!
I purchased the wallet a while ago from SewSophia--with the colors and map design of the fabric, it was the exact Hermes vibe I was looking for. I added a set of HearthfireHandiworks' bracelet prayer beads on the keyring, and the prayer card is the lovely work of WyrdCuriosities. I've had all these things together in this wallet for years, but it really has been a functional travel altar all this time, who knew! 🤣

Wanted to show off my travel altar with some small things that are special to me (my larger fixed altar is more private but I’m happy to answer questions about either one).
My travel altar contains (Wolf canine, Buffalo bone wolf carving, blueberry stained deer bone, lavender, redwood opal, and fetal red fox bones)

I’ve been looking for the perfect tin to keep a pocket altar in, and I finally found one at a thrift store! :) The tin originally had a candle in it, so I melted it out with hot water and kept the wax for later, since it smelled so nice. 
I also covered up the picture that was on the tin. I embroidered a simple fern onto a scrap of fabric, cut it to size and used some super glue to attach it to the lid (I also roughed up the top of the lid a bit to make sure it sticks). 
These are all the items I have inside so far: black tourmaline, a penny, tiger’s eye, labradourite, an ammonite fossil, obsidian and an old key. I also cut out a piece of black lacey fabric as an altar cloth (also for a bit of padding). 
There’s definitely some other stuff I’d like to add, like some sort of candle with some matches, maybe some salt too. 
But if anyone has suggestions on what else I should add, feel free to say so, I’d love some ideas and feedback! <|:^] <3

Mini Statue Resources
I've spent a lot of time looking for miniature statues of the gods to use in my travel altars, and in my search learned that mini statues-- especially anything under 3"-- are very hard to find. A lot of people have also seemed interested in the Hestia mini I have, and asked where I got her. So I thought I would share some resources I've found for very small statues and advice for finding them yourself. I hope they'll be helpful!
Sellers I've Found
3DvoPrinting (etsy)
They have a nice selection of 3D of prints of classical sculptures, including a lot of less "popular" statues. They come between 3-5" tall, priced around $12-18. I just put in an order for a custom size (1.5-2") of the Hermes and Asclepius figures, and they offer custom larger sizes as well.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
3DorisArt (etsy)
They have a large collection of prints, but my interest was in the 4" line, which range from $17 to $28. I contacted them about getting smaller prints of these and they said that was doable. I haven't ordered from them yet but hope to get a custom size Dionysus soon.

MurphicIndustries (etsy)
This is where I got my mini Hestia! They have this whole set available, and also sell figures individually. They come in 32mm, 48mm, 54mm and individual figures start at $4-5.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
twogreenthumbs.com
They sell mini garden supplies, and have a section with mini garden decor, including a lot of classical statues (I think these would probably have a spike under the base that you'd need to remove). Most of them are between 2.5 and 3.5" tall and $7-8 each. They also have a lot of mini pedestals and urns as well.

Edensart (etsy)
They sell dollhouse minis, including 1:12 scale prints of marble statues, including some classical ones. They're extremely small and so lower detail, and run around $6.60
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
BigManSmallWorld (etsy)
They specialize in very fancy and detailed art pieces for dollhouses, and their minis are already painted and decorated. Most of their mini statues are $30+

Advice for finding stuff on your own:
Although there are a lot of resources out there for finding smaller statues, I've found getting anything under 5" very difficult and under 3" almost impossible. For 3D prints if you can't find something in the size you want, I'd suggest finding one you like in a similar size and asking about getting it printed smaller for you.
I've had the most luck looking for mini-garden, dollhouse, and gaming miniatures. Searching by height is generally useless, but including scale can be helpful.
A lot of places have the statues misnamed (the Hermes statue I ordered, for example, is listed as Apollo) or aren't identified at all, so looking for generic terms like "marble statue" "god" "goddess" "classical" etc can be helpful if the right name isn't bringing anything up.
There are also a lot of Etsy sellers that specialize in dollhouse minis that have one or 2 little statues (esp. the more popular ones like Apollo Belvidere, Venus de Milo etc.) I've only included ones here that have a decent selection of them, but there are certainly options for little statues on Etsy beyond what I've shared.
The only statue of Aphrodite/Venus anyone wants to make replicas of is the Venus de Milo, so good luck to you if you're looking for literally any other representation they are on in a million. (I've included 3 here so...)
There are also some old school gaming minis that are Greek myth-themed, such as Foundry's series, but old school minis tend to be overall much more expensive, less detailed, and generally less aesthetically pleasing.
