Altars and shrines take many forms, from the awe-inspiring structures in churches to the household shrines we use as a focal point for prayer. Whatever their form or size the common intent of them all is to create a personal sacred space. As religion and spiritualism becomes increasingly diverse these altars become manifestations not only of the divine, but also of the human spirit and our personal aspirations and happiness. In this book, Beverly Jollands shows how to create beautiful altars and shrines that have special individual significance, and aims to inspire you to channel your innermost thoughts and desires into coherent forms of expression.
