Many Paths CUUPs

06/01/2026

Happy Days, Friends. We finally have an Altar! This handcrafted table/cabinet stands at waist height and has an octagonal table top that measures 38 inches. It is mounted on casters and easily rolls from room to room. An added bonus is that we have cabinet space for most ritual tools and supplies! This comes as a generous donation from Sean-Thomas to both the church and ManyPaths CUUPs. It is an Coven antique from days gone by.

**Update for upcoming events!**
