Altar-nativesQuick description
Outside I have a raised ritual area that I use
probably about two thirds of the year. In the middle spring to early fall,
there are enough vines covering the fence that it's
private.
My main altar moves around. It's an old end table, probably not worth much, but I always liked the carving on the legs and under the tabletop. I use it for the special stuff that takes more than a few moments to set up. It's usually either in the outside space on inside in front of the fire. Of course, I can't keep a special ritual area cleared in the living room, but there is another small altar on the mantelpiece. Most people never know what it is. There's another small one in the bedroom. That one's a little more obvious, occasionally a sex toy or three lives there. There's another small one in the kitchen. I'm only a fair to decent cook, but every once in a while I mix something in. In the sanctum behind the chimney is an old dressing table. It's just about the right height for a standing altar. My largest bear statue, two feet tall and made of plaster of paris, pretty much lives permanently there. I don't like moving it, it nicks easy and is heavy and awkward. That's my "workshop" altar, the sanctum itself is about a third workshop. My other "unused" statuary lives in the sanctum, along with a few choice pieces of art. I do have a couple of altar cloths that I use as travel altars. I do have a couple of places in the desert that I've used as ritual space, but I take all the stuff with me when I leave.

Pagan philosopher, libertarian, and part-time trouble maker, NeoWayland looks at keeping truths alive despite a wash of nonsense. But don't be surprised when he's doing the "nekkid Pagan guy" thing.
