In executive suites and private homes, in restaurants and gardens whether religious in focus or not people are reinventing the altar in new and imaginative ways. From a simple cherished photo surrounded by candles and shells that serves to attract the eye and draw the mind into gentle contemplation, to a more elaborate expression of personal style, altars bring peace and a place of beauty into daily life. In this first complete handbook on altars, Peg Streep shows readers how to use specific materials, colours, symbols, imagery, scents, crystals, music, and more to create their own personal altars. Streep covers the history, symbolism, and different types of the altar and provides detailed and fully illustrated guidance for anyone to create and enjoy sacred space. A discussion of offerings and rituals, along with a handy resource section, make this volume definitive, Altars Made Easy, makes the process simple and fun. From the Back Cover The art of creating sacred space . . . The first complete book on altars and altar building. Altars Made Easy explores the creation of sacred-in the home, in the office, in the garden, even in temporary surroundings-as a powerful tool of transformation and spiritual development. What is sacred space? It is a place where, as Joseph Campbell put it, wonder can be revealed. In a single volume, the rich background of history, humanity's first altars, sacred places, and most ancient mythologies illuminates contemporary altar building. Learn, step by step, how to create altars that focus energy and reflect the spirit, including: Understanding the language of sacred space Creating altars for special needs Choosing materials, colors, and statuary Empowering your altar with signs and symbols Energizing sacred space with light, smoke, and scent Using gemstones and minerals Drawing on the power of totems and guardians Building outdoor altars, and much, much more. Altar building is a creative process that frees us to make use of the affirming and empowering aspects of change. Beautifully illustrated, this volume contains a full resource section and is filled with examples to help you create sacred space. Altars Made Easy offers a full understanding of the power that symbols, objects, colors, and your own unique personality can bring to the altar you can create and re-create for meditation, reflection, prayer, and relaxation.
