Sacred Space: An Outdoor Altar

A simple and discreet outdoor altar

To you, it’s a very simple, very discreet outdoor altar and stone circle.

To your neighbors, your in-laws, your kids’ friends, and the meter reader, this arrangement looks like a stone bench or possibly a table in your garden, and a circular path.

All you need to shift between the mundane and the sacred is a portable box of candles and ritual gear–if that’s your thing–or you just a shift in mindset and energy.
