I read this article recently and felt that it would be a big help to our members. The article discusses how to make a miniature altar that you can take with you (or hide our practices for those of us that need to do so.)
I don't know if anyone is planning on taking their altar with them , but making a miniature altar would be easier to conceal from friends and family, so I thought I'd post this info here to give everyone some ideas.
The following is a list of items that can be used in rituals/spells and also easily hidden when not in use.
I hope this information helped give everyone ideas on how they can use their tools and magical items and more easily hide them while doing so.

The following is a list of items that can be used in rituals/spells and also easily hidden when not in use.
- Tea light candles. These come in a variety of colors and are relatively cheap. (you might want to put these in a zip-lock bag to keep the wax from getting on your other items)
- A glass tea light holder for your candles.
- A lighter or book of matches.
- Cone incense (you might want to put these in a zip-lock bag the residue off of them can stain your other items)
- A small heatproof dish for your incense.
- A tiny bag of salt or sand to put in the dish under your incense.
- Miniature statuettes of your deities. If nothing else, you could use candles to represent them; a green tea light candle for the Goddess and a red one for the God.
- Small packets of salt for purification of ritual space.
- A small pocket knife as a replacement for the athame(though you don't have to have one, keep in mind that these are all simply suggestions)
- A small to medium sized camera or laptop case to carry/hide your items in.
- You can use a small table or stand as an altar you would just have to set it up and take it down before and after rituals/spell casting.
I hope this information helped give everyone ideas on how they can use their tools and magical items and more easily hide them while doing so.
