Raven, Skull & Rose Altar Cloth

An altar cloth is a piece of fabric placed on the altar to create a sense of reverence and protect both the altar and the items placed upon it. It’s a way to mark the space as sacred and to protect the items used for rituals, divination, or other magickal practices.

This beautiful altar cloth, rich in symbolism, features a raven and a skull set amidst a floral arrangement of roses. The raven—an esteemed and majestic bird—perches above the skull, representing a protective guardian, watcher, and gatekeeper of one’s soul. Skulls are used as symbols for mortality, death, and rebirth, representing a cycle of transformation and change. They also serve as a connection to ancestors and spirits, facilitating communication with them, and are used as a protective talisman to guard a space from negative influences. Skull symbolism can also relate to wisdom, and the veil between the physical and spiritual realms. Meanwhile, the rose symbolises self-love, healing, and feminine energy.

With its velvety texture, this altar cloth is perfect for your ritual altar and measures 75 cm x 75 cm.
