What does your altar look like? Do you have one, or do you want to make one but aren't sure where to start?
All of us have a reason to celebrate something. We use the spaces in our homes and all around us to demonstrate or display what we are in devotion to, even if it is just a table full of photos of our beloved family. And all over the world, people are making altars and celebrating their beliefs and have been since we were still living in caves.
Your altar is whatever you want it to be, and if you are interested in the Wiccan practice and building your altar around a kind of magic that celebrates Mother Nature and the seasons, then this book is for you.
