go for it!
that sounds really wonderful. i haven't done altars like youre talking about but i've left offerings in public places.
like a small birds egg with flower inside at the entrance to a wooded area.

i would love to see some pictures of your pieces when you've done some. ")

I think it's a lovely idea.
I love the small roadside shrines in rural S Europe, and in the Far East.
I too would love to see photos once you do one!

I agree with the other comments — this is a fabulous idea! What a nicer world we would have if everyone would do a few little, but loving, things of this nature! I like the way you think! :)

what would also be really great is if Others recognized Them for what They were and left Little Offerings.
i just absolutely Love altars and shrines. ")

Thanks for the +Positive+ responces.

The weather is warming up and planting time
will soon be upon me.
A local friend expressed similar thumbs up statements and I'll be
hitting him back about collaborating.

P.

There are a lot of places that I made into shrines, and a lot of places in town that I know are sacred because of people who came before us. I am in the heart of the city, yet I am surrounded by sacred space. I selected some shirts that can pass as mundane to be my ritual garb. I have plenty of robes and I like going naked while doing magic, but that is not going to work in town.

Your best bet is to use found objects and decorate natural structures that are legally accessible to you. My favorite thing to do is to just leave a little bit of the food I am eating out at places like the altar in my backyard, the ancient ceremonial mounds remarkably preserved on the university campus nearby, or anywhere that birds happen to be looking for a handout.

One book that helped me a lot is "Urban Primative" by Kaldera and Schwartzstein. Chapters seven and eight are particularly topical. And my most favorite is chapter eight where they discuss fetishes as "junkyard magic". Their idea is to use what is available to do magic instead of looking for fancy ceremonial magic props like the chalice and athame.

So look for that book at your local library. It is a fun read.

Sounds to me like you know what you're doing pretty well.

Peace
