Lightdagger

I said in my first post that I was planning on adding a Lightsaber as an altar accessory – something the ritual performer could use during ritual ceremony. But it turns out that a lightsaber would be too big for my ritual altar which is basically comprised of 8” figures. The size of the lightsaber would take center stage away from the figures.

So instead of using a lightsaber, which is basically the size of a sword, I decided I would be using a “dagger” instead. But it cannot be an ordinary ritual dagger. This is Star Wars after all. So it’s a “Light-dagger.” I am currently using a green lightdagger because I couldn’t find a red one. That would suffice.

Mantra of the Sith

Another addition you would notice on the altar is what looks like a note. That is actually the Sith Code written in Sith language. And is recited by the Vader Priest (the congregation repeats after the priest) during ritual ceremony to Lord Vader.

Midi-chlorian Elixirs

The two chalices on the altar that are filled represent “midi-chlorian” elixirs. The Dark Side is a pathway to many abilities. Some considered unnatural. One of the chalices contain elixir that could bring the Dead back to Life or could keep your Loved ones from Dying. The other could bring the Living to Death -- but not just any ordinary death. It causes its victim to relive his/her death over and over and over again.

The Star/Space Trinity

In Vaderism, Lord Vader should always be the central god on the Vaderic altar. And he cannot be replaced with any other character. That is why it’s called Vaderism. But the two “supporting” gods (the ones by his side on the altar that make up the Space Trinity) may be replaced with any Star Wars characters, or may even be removed altogether.
