If you regularly work with the Moon, then creating a Moon Altar -- whether a small portable altar that you use inside or a larger area outside at which you can do ceremony -- might help deepen your work.
The image above shows a moon altar that I built and used when I lived in Arkansas. Although this moon altar didn't prove to be as durable as I'd have hoped, it was really beautiful. Grandmother Moon's light filtered down through the trees overhead and made it look really magical.
And the image above is a smaller Moon Altar near our Sweat Lodge at West Winds in Alabama.
These images give you some ideas about how a Moon Altar might look. The size and kinds of materials you use to construct it are practically endless.
If you already have a Moon Altar of your own, I invite you to submit images and let me know how you use it. Based on your submissions, we'll feature examples of Moon Altars used in our community on this blog. In early August, I'll be picking one or two notable examples whose owners will be mailed a prize for their creativity.
