This is a diagram of how I maintain my altar. It is very sacred to me. From Lughnassadh through Yule I adorn my altar with a black cloth and from Imbolc to Litha I adorn my altar with a white cloth. The Goddess candle is white and the God candle is red. The altar candle varies on the season and the ritual being performed.
When I set up my altar the first time and sometimes when performing certain rites or rituals or on times I just feel the need to I recite this prayer to the Goddess to open my heart to her and connect with my altar and the Goddess:
May this altar honor the Great Goddess
May I truly feel her presence here
May my spirit be open and expansive
May my own awareness of the scared
Around me and within me, grow strong.
