Any surface can become an altar. With beautiful, inspirational photographs and a text that's both instructive and poetic, this book shows us how. Part 1 explains the cultural and historical background of the altar and why and how women in particular might want to create one. Part 2 focuses on what to do with altars on special occasions, with photographs and stories of 16 special altars created by Cunningham and Geddes and the special rituals performed around each one.
