Pagan Altar Cloths And Tapestry Cloth

Historically, altar cloths have been used in ritual for protection of the sacred space. The altar is a very important part of Pagan ritual. The ritual altar is most often the focal point, the place to make offerings and do honor to the God and/or Goddess, as well as a place to gather ones tools and to practice magick. The altar may be ANY flat surface, either specially designed for that pupose or not.
The altar cloths are also used as decoration, as a mood enhancer for workings, and to keep the ritual items unaffected by energies left over from the altars daily use as say, a coffee table. Many Pagan altars have served dual purposes and the altar cloth helps to keep the items on the alter free of these other energies.
