I have a permanent circle in my backyard, a garden. I have
markers for the elemental directions, and a large flat stone in the middle as
an altar. At the moment, the altar is completely obscured by some
overenthusiastic crown vetch, but I know it’s there.
I have small altars all over the house, on window sills and
the fireplace mantle. Sometimes, they’re not any more elaborate or obvious than
a handful of stones in a planter. My main altar is in my office, facing east. I
like to hang a mirror over it to magnify the candlelight. I do redecorate the altar with the equinoxes and solstices. Someday, I want to
get a circular rug to put there to mark the directions, but I haven’t found the
right thing yet. I keep intending on repainting that room turquoise, and I’ll
likely get to that this fall. I hope.
Do you have a favorite altar or sacred space you’ve created?
