Altars and the Light: Making and Using Goddess Altars

By: Diane Stein

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Altars are a quest for beauty with power and significance. Altar-making is an invitation to bring the Light into one’s life, to make one’s life better by making daily living spiritual.


Altars and the Light teaches the making and using of Goddess and Wiccan altars, from beginning to advanced. It explains what a Goddess altar is, how to make a permanent home altar, how to make a variety of temporary event or needs-based altars, and what these altars may be used for. They can be made to help one find a job or conceive a child, for a memorial, for a landmark life event, or to mark the passage of the seasons.


The book contains practical information on the symbolic correspondences that altars and all Craft ritual is based on-- primarily the five elements. It teaches the symbolism of ritual objects, what symbols mean, what to do with them and how to use them, and makes simple what has often seemed confusing and arcane.
