Athame, Sword & 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 features a striking blood-red rose at its centre, positioned atop a black disc resembling a witch’s Wheel of the Year calendar. The cloth is adorned with ancient symbols, swords, and athames that puncture its surface, with blood dripping from the edges. The strategically placed rose symbolises love, beauty, and passion, while also conveying meanings of protection due to its thorns, as well as secrecy and confidentiality. Often associated with the goddess Venus/Aphrodite, the rose represents feminine energy, intuition, the heart, self-love, and healing.

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