Hail!
A couple of months ago I encountered a talented craftsmen that made pocket altars, hammers, and many other things. He got himself hurt, thus had to put things on hold, but I ordered a pocket altar from him and I have to admit that it's a damn good one. Pocket altars are a great way to honor the gods without taking up a whole bunch of space. I got Tyr and I just love it. I will be putting it into my purse when I move down to Virginia with my mother.
I'm also planning on getting a Thor and Odin ones in the near future. Pocket altars are going to become a sore spot in many heathen circles, since some heathens want to make Astru and Heathenism to different groups, which I think will become a fight between these two said groups. Pocket altars are great if you can't have an altar up all the time or your limited on space. And, no, it doesn't mean that people are ignoring the ancestors and land wrights.
I believe that the gods, ancestors, and land wrights are all important. And I honor all three as well. But that's another topic for another post.
