January 1, 2026 Happy New Year! Welcome to 2026. I spent some time with my altar today, rearranged it, took some stuff off, placed some new things on it. I burnt several different kinds of incense for both clarification and for protection. I paid attention to the stories of how I gained possession of these items.
