Product Description
Book Description
The purpose of any altar, says D. J. Conway, is to symbolize what we want to attract into our lives. In A Little Book of Altar Magic, she shows how, without knowing they are doing so, people are constantly building altars around them, and she encourages readers to make altars consciously, using them to create a sacred space in the home. The very act of creating an altar teaches the builder to listen to the subconscious and become receptive to the sacred in life, Conway suggests. She explains the process in simple terms: planning the project, acknowledging the emotions behind the decision, and doing the actual building. The book guides the reader to what items to look for in furnishing an altar, giving information gleaned from historical and modern approaches on the use of colors, the elements, objects, and symbols.

A slight disappointment,
By Kitty "evilangel24" (Orlando, Fl United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Altar Magic (Paperback)
After reading another one of her a little books of I had to have this one. I have to say I was disappointed at the instruction level this book lacked. I hoped to see where placement of object offected the energy of the alter. but instead I got a mini glossery and soen examples. The infomation in the glossery section is very helpful though.

Helpful for artists,
By Aisling D'Art "artist and author" (Portsmouth, NH USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Altar Magic (Paperback)
If you're interested in altars from a magickal or artistic viewpoint, this is a good how-to book filled with prompts to get you building your own altar. It's mostly text, but if you're new to altars and not offended by Pagan themes, you'll enjoy this information. Combine this with the more illustrated book, "In a Spiritual Style" by Cerwinske, and you're set to create magnificent art and altars to the themes, images, deity, or deities of your choice.

Perfect gift for loved ones, perfect gift for yourself,

This review is from: Altar Magic (Paperback)
No matter the religion, we all collect certain items and arrange them in specific ways. These collections are small insights into ourselves. Ms Conway walks you through the items you have already gathered, tells you what they mean, and how to arrange them with intent... to create an altar... a special place of self in a hectic world.This little book is a gem and the perfect gift for everyone on your list. (Add a couple of candles for perfect presentation!) BB Chameleon SilverCat
