Burn candles only when you are around. It is too easy to come home and find that your spell for a new apartment worked because your present home just burned down! In other words, don't be silly and leave a fire (candle) unattended.

No matter what you put on your altar, always feel free to decorate it. That's a way to make an offering, and besides, this is a heathen altar we're talking about.

Change your altar as often as you want. Just as one's needs change from time to time, so your altar might go from a garish and celebratory collection of fall harvestfruits, nuts, fall leaves, silver bowls full of floating flowers, Florentine chalices with sacramental wineso that you can give thanks for a fall harvest to, at another time, a simple contemplative altar of one white stone on a pile of black sand when you are particularly distracted by life's many trials. Or maybe you want a calming influence so that you are in touch with the God within and choose a different simple altar, consisting solely of a graceful bough of willow in an oriental vase, next to a statue of serene Buddha, all placed on a silk scarf.

It can be a meditation for me to build an altar. Simply searching for the right objects can tune me in to my inner cycles and the cycles of the natural world around me.

All that I say about altars is meant as a reality, not just as a metaphor. The altar is not just a symbol; it is a place you have relationship with. And it is a place that touches and empowers the part of us that is most intuitive and psychic, that same part of us that is closest to God.

You have endless personal choices as to how to make your altar. You needn't even have an altar. Many of the instructions in the "Making the Celtic Altar" section were optional. Read carefully: if an instruction was optional, I said something like "perhaps" or "a candle may be placed"; nonoptional instructions were often cued with a phrase like "It is..." or "One would..." When it's not as clear as that, use your common sense; a witch trusts straight-ahead, down-to-earth reasoning as much as her magic. In fact, practicality is part other magic.

This introduction of ecology, coupled with what might have seemed to you like shamanic rambling, has further ramifications that will become apparent at different points in the rest of this section.
