Introduction
Making an altar is one of the most reflective, meaningful things one can do with her or his spiritual energy. Altars do not have to be ornate, though most pagans opt to include specific elements in an altar arrangement. Most importantly, an altar should reflect your personal style of devotion and expression; you should feel comfortable before it and not intimidated, seeing it as a tool through which you can guide your energy and thoughts.

Rather than confining yourself to limits, think of possibilities. Pagan altars can be:

• Located inside or outside
• Hidden or displayed
• Many colors or one
• Private or public
• Frequently functional or meant as an honorary display
• Meaningful to the practitioner
• On a rock, on the ground, a round table, a square table, etc.
• Devoted to a deity, season, path, festival, holiday, or for general use

Before you begin or find yourself limited by others’ ideas, think about your own goals for your pagan altar. What are they?
