EACH VESTALI ALTAR
Is a heritage piece—designed to last a lifetime and to be passed on, carrying with it generations of meaning, energy, and care.
Each Altar is the result of years of research, spiritual practice, and precision craftsmanship. These are not mass-produced. Each one is made slowly, with deep intention, and through a rigorous process that honors ancient wisdom and modern design.
Inspired by the preservation of Ancient Greek, Egyptian, Chinese, Nahua, and Daoist alchemical traditions, the ALTARS reflect a lineage of spiritual practices adapted to today’s way of living. For most of us we no longer have access to sacred temples, the Altars brings sanctity into your space—through materials, symbols, and form designed to support your everyday rituals and long-term spiritual growth.
Every craftsperson we work with is selected for their expertise and ability to treat the materials with the respect and awareness they deserve. This isn’t just design—it’s ritual work.
Alongside the Altar, you’ll also receive a 250-page manual written by Rose Theodora. It includes detailed insights into the Altar’s materials, symbolic framework, astrological applications, and practical rituals that help you work with the Altar in meaningful ways. This guide will be released in Fall and included with your Altar.
Once your Altar is ready to arrive, we will help you determine where it should live in your home. Placement matters. The Altar is meant to integrate into your life—not as something separate, but as a focal point for clarity, connection, and self-regulation. Rose will also offer guidance on how to begin working with it based on your personal astrological chart.
Your Altar is designed for use—not just display. Whether used daily or occasionally, its presence alone can shift the energy in a space. It becomes a quiet but powerful anchor for transformation, intention-setting, and deeper awareness.
Our Altars are for individuals who value beauty and integrity through craft. For those who can feel the power of preserving ancient knowledge through contemporary forms.
If you feel called to learn more, we’d love to walk you through the details, share more about the process, and answer any questions you have. This is a thoughtful investment. One meant to stay with you—and grow with you—for life.

The base of the Alchemy of Metals Altar is carved from volcanic stone, a material chosen for its strength, resonance, and grounding properties. It is quarried and shaped, and the craftsmanship of each planetary metal sculpture that adorns it aligns with the movement of the seven classical planets to ensure harmony with natural cycles. From start to finish, the process is mindful and precise.
Each metal sculpture on the Altar represents one of the visible planets: Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Venus, Mercury, the Sun, and the Moon. These are not just symbolic—they’re energetic components forged by our master goldsmith trained in Ancient Egyptian metallurgy and Daoist medicine (each metal and stone will act as an acupressure point and align to a meridian in your body as a balancing and healing energy).
Every piece is handcrafted and charged with gemstone frequency. It is designed to interact with the body as an energetic support system, aligning with meridians and regulating flow.
The Alchemy of Metals Altar is for personal practice, deep meditation, healing, and manifestation. [purchase here]
The Alchemy of Light Altar is a finely crafted spiritual object and design piece—intended to support daily ritual, energetic balance, and long-term personal transformation. Created with deep respect for ancient metaphysical sciences, ancient Egyptian culture and uses of light and gemstones, as a way to preserve knowledge through modern material innovation, it is designed as an art, functional design, and heritage piece.
Material Foundation: White Limestone Base:The foundation of the Altar is carved from high-grade white limestone, a valuable sedimentary rock composed primarily of calcium carbonate (CaCO₃). The high purity of the stone results in its luminous white tone—recognized for its purifying, grounding, and stabilizing qualities.
The form of the base draws inspiration from the womb and the feminine archetype—representing creation, receptivity, and origin. Each base is shaped with precision, honoring both aesthetic beauty and symbolic form.
Twelve Quartz Crystal Spheres with Gemstone Mounted in Silver: Surrounding the Altar are twelve hand-cut Lemurian clear quartz crystal spheres—renowned in metaphysical practices as “Master Healers.” The spherical shape harmonizes energy in all directions, offering an even and stable frequency in your space. Each crystal sphere is set with a 2-carat semi-precious or precious gemstone, with each pairing representing one of the twelve astrological signs and their associated elements: Fire, Earth, Air, and Water. Together, the stones create a comprehensive energetic matrix aligned with the full spectrum of human consciousness and experience.
These gemstones are carefully selected and mounted by a master gemologist, who works with each stone as a talisman—intended to support energetic flow and restore balance in specific meridians of the body. When exposed to natural light, each gemstone refracts color and light uniquely, transforming your Altar into a light station amplifying the energy in your space.
Central Feature: Certified Marcel Vogel Crystal: At the heart of the Altar sits a certified Marcel Vogel crystal—cut and calibrated using Vogel’s patented specifications. Marcel Vogel was a renowned IBM research scientist and pioneer in the study of crystal technology. His work in magnetic coatings, liquid crystal displays (LCDs), and bioenergetic fields helped shape both modern computing and alternative healing.
His unique crystal cut was developed to amplify human intention, subtle energy, and consciousness. When positioned at the center of the Altar, the Vogel crystal serves as an energy conduit—enhancing clarity, focus, and spiritual alignment.
Everyday Functionality and Spiritual Use: The Alchemy of Light Altar is designed for daily use as a spiritual calendar and energetic timekeeper, aligning you with the seasons of light and the corresponding shifts in consciousness throughout the year.
It can be programmed for your natal chart, your home's chart, or the synastry between two individuals to support relationships, alignments, and key life cycles.
It functions as a protector for your space, a ritual anchor, and an interactive spiritual tool that evolves with your practice.
It is an ideal wedding gift (to combine the charts of both persons), house blessing, or legacy piece—one that carries meaning and intention across generations.
When placed in a sunlit area, the Altar becomes a radiant tower of light. The crystals stay energetically active and visually vibrant through daily contact with natural light.
