Altar (Wicca)

For example, in one Wiccan tradition, oak symbolizes great strength and may be used to strengthen the rite they are performing.

[5][4] In the North the earth element is represented; in the east is air, in the south is fire, and in the west water.

Some Wiccans dedicate an entire room to their practice while others (especially those who share a living space) use a temporary altar.

These include the four seasons (Winter, Spring, Autumn & Summer), the mating habits of animals and the reaping and sowing of crops.

Certain Wiccan traditions may have different colors but universally, the altar is usually decorated to represent the time of year.
