I like the idea of sending up (around, out, down, over, under) energy at an altar. This is what I'm doing here this week, with the camera set right on the one in my home, looking into the kitchen. That makes the eye of the camera (your eye) a divine gaze. Where we do things is important, as much as anything else. Not that that should limit us to any particular place for important doings - rather, that we should use well the place we're at.
Count Basie offers up some divine sound, from exactly where he's at.

Vesta approves!!!
Aren't the home gods the most sacred ones? Or maybe just the most intimate ones - the ones you literally carry with you.
Clare, you should read Ursula K. LeGuin's new book, Lavinia. It has a lot of altar-presence. LeGuin did her homework on ancient (Aeneas-era) Italy, and it comes alive, like in Renault's books.
