Paganism is a rich and diverse spiritual path that encompasses a variety of beliefs and practices. For those who follow a pagan path, incorporating their beliefs into their home's interior can be an important aspect of their practice. There are many ways to create a pagan-inspired interior, allowing individuals to connect with nature and the divine in their everyday surroundings. Natural materials such as wood, stone, and earth-toned fabrics can be used to create a sense of grounding and connection to the earth. These materials can be incorporated into furniture, flooring, and decor choices. Incorporating symbols and imagery associated with pagan beliefs can also be a way to infuse a home with a pagan aesthetic.
As their attraction grows, so do the dangers: attacks from black-eyed people, a cursed enemy who is more beast than man, and rumors of fae returning for the crown they believe was stolen from them long ago.
While Saga is trying to find a cure for Ari with the help of Nik a thief from the East who has been involved in every story , Ari is on a memory walk trying to discover secrets from the past and dealing with his belief that everyone around him is cursed to die. I wasn t too worried about most of the characters reaching the end as I read Song of Sorrows and Fate after reading The Ever King , so I knew who made it out alive which is pretty much everyone we care about.
Incorporating symbols and imagery associated with pagan beliefs can also be a way to infuse a home with a pagan aesthetic. Various symbols such as the pentacle, the tree of life, and the triple goddess can be included in artwork, textiles, or even carved into furniture. Altar spaces can be created to honor the divine, with candles, crystals, and other sacred objects on display.
Curse of Shadows and Thorns (Hardcover)
As niece of the king, Elise Lysander cares about two things: sneaking into gambling dens, and avoiding an advantageous marriage at all costs.
When her uncle holds the life of her deathly-ill father over her head, reluctantly, Elise puts her fate into the hands of Legion Grey, the handsome and mysterious dowry negotiator. He may be arrogant and infuriating, but soon Legion incites a blistering, forbidden passion she can't ignore.
As their attraction grows, so do the dangers: attacks from black-eyed people, a cursed enemy who is more beast than man, and rumors of fae returning for the crown they believe was stolen from them long ago.
After a bloody coup upends the kingdom, Elise flees with Legion, but nothing is as it seems. The man she allowed into her heart reveals his own secret plans with the return of magic-and he has every intention of using Elise to see them through.
With war between magic and mortal on the horizon, Elise must pick a side to protect her kingdom. Does she stand with her people who stole the throne? Or with a man who lied his way into her heart and whose secret past could bring her destruction?

She does have one mean stepbrother and a stepfather who make her work, but they don’t play a major role immediately. Later, they take more of an active role in the story, helping Malin in her quest. They also didn’t steal Malin’s inheritance, as she came from a poor widowed mother, who died shortly after she was taken in by her step-family. And instead of there being a glass shoe made for Malin by a fairy godmother, there is a glass ring that is kept at the Black Palace, which is kept for the fated Queen of the Eastern Kingdom. Considering this is a Cinderella retelling, I knew immediately at the mention of that ring it would fit Malin. The only question was: how did it end up getting placed on her finger? As I couldn’t see why Malin would place it on her finger knowing that anyone that attempts it gets killed, and there’s no way Kase wants her anywhere near the Black Palace or that ring. He made that clear multiple times during his POV.
Color choices can also play a role in creating a pagan-inspired interior. Earthy tones such as greens, browns, and deep reds can evoke a sense of the natural world. These colors can be used in wall paint, furniture upholstery, and decor accessories to create a harmonious and nature-inspired ambiance. A key aspect of pagan beliefs is the celebration of the changing seasons and cycles of the natural world. Incorporating seasonal decor can be a way to honor these beliefs and create a connection to the rhythms of the earth. For example, during the autumn season, decor such as dried leaves, pumpkins, and warm-toned textiles can be used to create a cozy and festive atmosphere. Overall, creating a pagan-inspired interior is a highly personal and individual process. It allows individuals to infuse their living spaces with their spiritual beliefs and connection to nature. Whether through the use of natural materials, symbolic imagery, or seasonal decor, a pagan house interior can be a reflection of someone's deep spirituality and devotion to the earth and the divine..
Reviews for "Creating a Pagan Sanctuary: Building an Outdoor Ritual Space"
1. Jenny - 2 stars
I was really disappointed by the "Pagan house interior". The overall design felt cluttered and chaotic, with an overwhelming amount of religious symbols and artifacts. It didn't feel like a cohesive, well-thought-out space. Additionally, the choice of color palette was jarring and clashed with the rest of my home decor. I was hoping for a more sophisticated and tasteful interpretation of pagan design, but this fell short for me.
2. Mark - 1 star
I found the "Pagan house interior" to be extremely gimmicky and exaggerated. It felt like a cheap attempt at creating a trendy and edgy aesthetic without any real understanding or respect for pagan traditions. The use of fake animal skulls and cheesy occult symbols only added to the corniness of the whole design. It lacked depth and authenticity, and I would not recommend it to anyone seeking an actually meaningful pagan-inspired interior.
3. Sarah - 2 stars
The "Pagan house interior" was a complete miss for me. The excessive use of nature-inspired motifs and rustic elements didn't convey the serene and calming vibe I associate with pagan spirituality. Instead, it felt overwhelming and cluttered, as if someone just threw together every pagan-related item they could find without any thought for creating a cohesive and harmonious space. I was hoping for a more refined and sophisticated take on pagan design, but this fell short and left me feeling disappointed.
