Altars and shrines take many forms, from the ornate structures in churches and temples throughout the world, to the tiny household shrines we use as a focal point for prayer, wishes or meditation. Whatever their form or size the common intent of them all is to create a sacred space. As religion and spiritualism become increasingly diverse these altars become manifestations not only of the divine, but also of the human spirit and our souls' aspirations and happiness. A shrine may become a temporary focal point for a particular life change, a specific prayer, or a need for some tranquillity in a chaotic world. Josephine De Winter shows the reader how to create altars and shrines that have special individual significance, and which will inspire you to channel your innermost thoughts and desires into coherent forms of expression. She reveals how to accept the divine into your everyday life and add another dimension to your spiritual life by creating your own personal sacred spaces.
