An Altar provides special focus and concentration.
Creating your altar brings your spirituality into the here and now.
It is a place for love to gather.
Always keep your Altar simple.
Place on the Altar things you feel are important such as crystals, shells, candles, statues and anything else of spiritual importance to you.
