  KALLISTI: An Apple in Pandemonium — Authority: 106
  A few weeks ago, I made a post about creating a small shrine to the Charites and the Eumenides. This is my first shrine that exists separately from my main one (which is in major need of organization — too many images). I wanted something very simple and clean for this shrine. I laid a board over the top of a new ...
