Any surface can become an altar. Geddes and Cunningham, with beautiful, inspirational photos and text that's both instructive and poetic, show us how. For women, they say, an altar can become a sacred space upon which to place symbols of her true self. Whether indoors or out, permanent or fleeting, an altar helps you to quickly focus on the spirituality inherent in common things -- the flicker of a candle flame, the heady scent of freshly picked lilacs. Part One of A Book of Women's Altars explains the cultural and historical background of the altar and why to create one. Making and using an altar literally clears a path for a woman through the clutter of her world. She creates a place where she is free to make her inner journey, where healing is abundant. Cunningham describes the process of selecting a theme, choosing a place, finding the right objects, and knowing when to change the altar. Part Two focuses on what to do with altars on special occasions. The author and photographer have created and illustrated -- with photographs and stories -- sixteen special altars. There are altars for the seasons of the year and the seasons of our lives -- including loss, remembrance, celebration of new life, and many more. Each has its own purpose, story, and ritual. Nancy Cunningham is an accomplished poet, author of A Book of Women's Altars, and workshop leader in yoga, meditation and ritual for more than 30 years.

How To Create Sacred Spaces For Art, Worship, Solace, and Celebration
by Nancy Brady Cunningham and Denise Geddes
This delightful and spiritual book is what happens when two dedicated and enlightened women get together to share with us what they love most. The photographs are absolutely breath taking and I especially loved the ones of the different altars because it helps to illustrate how creativity and spirituality many times go hand in hand.
I thoroughly enjoyed the way the information was broken down into sections so I could learn about why we have altars, and how to make them. There is so much wisdom and knowledge in these pages, and it gave me the warm fuzzies all over as I connected and understood the beauty that this testimony to spiritual growth and development really is all about. I would recommend this book to those who are seeking unique ways to express themselves both spiritually and creatively. Well done, Ladies.
Love & Light,
