Winter Altar

 

"An altar is any structure upon which offerings such as sacrifices are made for religious purposes. Altars are usually found at shrines, and they can be located in templeschurches and other places of worship. Today they are used particularly in ChristianityBuddhismHinduismShintoTaoism, as well as in Neopaganism and Ceremonial MagicJudaism used such a structure until the destruction of the Second Temple. Many historical faiths also made use of them, including Greek and Norse religion."

My Winter Altar or Yule Altar is in a state of constant change. Just like the winter I am experiencing now. Some days more light is added for warmth and extra words are added for encouragement in these cold dark days of respite from the gardens. What is on your Altar?
