Good topic amice.

First off, you don’t need much of anything to set up a simple shrine. A candle or lamp and some bowls and plates for offerings is the bare minimum. The early days of Rome did not use images of the Gods. Such a practice only started after there was more Greek exposure. This said, images can help focus our offerings and prayers and are certainly acceptable.

Here is the lararium for my household:

Books:

Note: A group of citizens are currently writing a detailed and comprehensive guidebook taking the academic works and translating the evidence into modern practice. No such book exists at the moment despite what some might tell you. The best free source is: http://romanrepublic.org/bibliotheca/wiki/gods.html and http://romanrepublic.org/bibliotheca/wi … tions.html and http://romanrepublic.org/bibliotheca/wiki/ceremony.html and http://romanrepublic.org/wip/virtues.html

Another place that is good, but a touch over priced is: http://www.celticwebmerchant.com/en/bus … -lararium/

Check the other sites first. You might find the same item for cheaper. But this place has items that are not available elsewhere.

AzureGreen is a great source for all sorts of things. They cater to most pagan groups they are a massive supplier and have great products.
