This post was inspired by Question #22 from this list.

This is the post where I confess that I’m probably not a very good witch in the eyes of many other witches. I do not currently and don’t think I have every had a permanent altar set up. It’s something I keep thinking I should do do. I’m especially revisiting this question now that I’m back making my way through “The Essential Guide to Possession, Depossession, and Divine Relationships.” I figure working that closely with Freyja again, it would be best to have an altar. Right now, I simply set up candle on the small table my computer monitor sits on (the computer itself is on the floor) when I want to meditate or pray to her. It would be nice to get out her statue again and set up a proper altar.

Joe and I also hope to be able to set up a dedicated altar room when we get our own place. I know I certainly miss the dedicated altar room that our former coven has. Very convenient.

Speaking of Joe, I find myself wondering if any books or resources out there talk about multi-witch families and what a challenge altar space (or even just spaces for altars) can become an issue. Joe and I honor different gods, and I think ti would be ultimately nice if we each had our own separate altars for that in addition tot he shared altar of our working space. That means a minimum of three different spaces for altars, though. That gets challenging.
