)O( ...if you did not grow up with an altar in your home having an altar now may seem like an exotic & unattainable idea yet having an altar does not have to be complicated or difficult nor does it need to be based on a religion or a set o'ideas that do not seem to relate to you ...an altar can be a simple personal expression o'what you want to focus on right now...you don't have to build anything or take up a lot o'space or buy anything new or follow a complex set o'instructions to create your altar...all you have to do is have a general understanding o'what an altar is & the willingness to allow yourself access to this wonderful ancient tool o'transformation )O( an altar is simply a raised structure that serves as a resting place for meaningful objects & it focuses the eye & provides a place for contemplation & if so desired ritual )O( all o'these elements can be quite simple such as a pot with a bulb planted in it set on a box =) this altar to growth can act as a reminder to you that all living things bloom in their time...a simple ritual might be to write down dreams you would like to see come to fruition on scraps o'paper & to place these in the box or under the flowerpot or in an envelope you prop against the pot & as the flower grows so will your dreams...look 'round your home & you may find that you have already created altarlike arrangements without even really thinking about it as this is something we humans do quite naturally...a candle or a decorative box or a vase o'flowers are just a few o'the common household objects that lend themselves naturally to the creation o'an altar & by simply adding intention & intuition you have created your first altar...remember that 'tis not necessarily about the objects you place at your altar 'tis the Time you spend with it daily taking the Time to be with it for your Sacred Time )O(
