Altar/Alter

Postby firebirdflys » Sat Feb 18, 2012 3:50 am

As witches I hope that we would all know the difference between Altar and Alter, I see it spelled wrong all the time, and I'm beginning to wonder if you all know the difference. While it's true you may become altered at your Altar, Please remember the place you kneel is the Altar (with an A) and usually capitalized ...Altar.
Your alter is some other thing you become, or to change your way of direction, or transform your way of thinking ...alter (with an E) and not capitalized. They're similar in a way...that the place you kneel or put you tools of "transformation" is the place that will change your way of thinking.

Remember...Altar (table) noun ...alter (change) verb

sorry in advance for being such an old school marm. Blessings, Firebird
