Has anyone been able to make a pentagram or other Wiccan themed altars? I would like some pics if possible. Im planning on making a very special room for my wife

I haven't made any, but I certainly have ideas for some. I'm on vacation until the 18th of September (which likely means you'll be done). If not, I'd be more than willing to mock something up for you.

Cheers

Pentagrams are easy you just need some chalk, a compass, a big ruler and some candles.
But don't screw it up!!!

Oooo, interesting project.

I'd think the trick would be to get the angles correct with whatever items you decide to use.

Off the top of my head, the only thing I can think of to customize angles is the wall light(s). You could possibly structure a pentagram out of small wall cabinets (cubicle + wall light + cabinet), then "bury" all but the tops with a layer of floor tiles.... 'course, then you also need a circle, no?... maybe add the arcane floorpiece?

Just tossing out ideas...

So far I have the God Pan and an area for her circle to gather, but I am lacking a summoning circle (the pentagram) and an altar. I understand that this may be a touchy subject to some of you so I thank you all in advance for setting aside personal beliefs and helping me out here.
I would post SS of what I have so far but I have no clue how to insert them in forum messages, sry

You have to use an image hosting site and then link it to this forum using [img] [/img]. Most of the good ones automatically save the link to your clipboard with the codes attached. I use http://photobucket.com/

More specifically (and only because I know longtime players who still don't know this stuff):
  1. take your screenshot with or without the UI as desired;
    • /screenshotui 1$$screenshot = with UI
    • /screenshotui 0$$screenshot = without UI
  2. find your screenshot in your CoH screenshot folder. Its in whatever folder you've put your CoH files in (along with chat logs, default keybinds, costume files, etc.,.)
  3. trim your pic as necessary with whatever photoshopping program you prefer.
  4. host your pic on a site such as Photobucket or Imageshack. If you want to keep track of all the pics you host, best to start up an account.
  5. copy the hosted pic's URL (direct link)
  6. paste the url between the image tags as Klaw mentioned, or use the picture tool in the toolbar of the posting window (note: if you use the toolbar, be sure to replace the "http://" that is automatically in the popup).


I worked on this a bit last night.
Used the arcane floorpiece for the circle. Floated a large floor tile over it to just expose the edge.
Used a SG emblem floor tile to template the 5 point star.

Used the cubicle and stuck a wall light on the outer wall.
Attached the blank message board (the one that looks like wood), to the wall light.
Swiveled msg board and/or wall light as necessary to get the angles.
Removing the cubicle and wall light leaves the message board "floating".

This was no mean feat. Swiveling the lights and boards to get the angles right takes time and patience. It took me 3 hours to get this far and the angles are still not quite perfect (due to the snap grid)... and I'd have to go through it a few times in order to stretch out the lines properly.
Maybe someone else has an easier idea, but if you'd like to discuss this one further, send me a message here in the forums.

EDIT:
I should clarify the "3 hours" statement... That was the total time I spent, but I did it twice. The picture is the result of my second go 'round.
