Multiple Altars

When you practice the craft you are more than likely going to have a main altar and place of working. That's great and should be left as your personal altar. But you can set up smaller altars around your home for various purposes. Here are a few examples.

Kitchen Altar - Set up somewhere within or over looking your kitchen Kitchen craft is very common and having an altar to raise power while in the kitchen can be very useful. Deities of food or the home do well here. Also any ancestor that was great in the kitchen could be honored here as well.

Living Room Altar - Setting up an altar in your living room is a bit different. Honoring a deity of protection and peace can help balance the energy of a well used living room. Although having a deity that can help remove obstacles is very useful in hectic homes. For that I would recommend placing a statue of Ganesh in this altar.


Office Altar - When you need that extra jolt of energy to push through a big project look into setting up an altar in your office. Honoring deities of money, labor, or speed can really help bring that energy to your work. Even an angel altar honoring an angel of work can be very effective.

Children's Room Altar - A children's room altar can be a little different. It should be more for blessing and protecting your family. I would recommend dedicating this altar to angels. Their energy is lighthearted and calming. Plus a kid's altar should be colorful, creative, and just plain fun!

There are many things you can use as an altar. Such as shelves, cabinets, drawers, even shoe boxes. And it does not always have to be a traditional altar. Hanging a picture of an angel in a child's bedroom serves the same purpose. Be creative and have fun bringing the magick into the mundane!
