Do you have an altar at home? Does your home have an altar? Where is it and would you describe it here? My family is Catholic and we have a small altar near our living room. We have a Bible there, a few candles, an image of Mother Mary, a Santo Nino (infant Jesus) and flowers.

yes, I do. I have some stones on it, one rounded crystal on a stand, one crystal obelisk. hagstones (stones with a natural hole through it) some candle holders that I change the candles in. also, feathers, shells, nuts, leaves and flowers from the garden according to season, an oil burner, burner for loose grain incense on charcoal disks, a chalice, and a pentacle - which is something like a stone plate I can use to put things on that I'm working on.

I do not have an altar, as the bible says that it is idoletry. Personifying things of the holy spirit and making anything holy except for that of God himself, is idoletry according to the bible, therefore, that is a no-no for me.
