If you wish, perform your magic--at least, that which is done indoors--at a 'stone altar'. This isn't a place where we worship rocks, of course, but an area set aside for the practice of magic.
Ideally, fashion an altar by placing a large slab of marble or some other stone on a flat-topped tree trunk, a dresser, bureau or coffee table. This action forms the altar itself where you will work with the tools of stone magic. Otherwise, any table will suffice.
Magical objects are often placed on the stone altar. These may be 'good luck charms' or power stones and metals, such as large quartz crystals, cross stones, staurolites, lodestones, fossils, lava and opals.
This area is the place to cleanse and purify stones, to attune with them and perform magic. Many of the spells mentioned in this series involve the use of candles as well as stones, and it is on the stone altar that these are placed and burned.
Incense, flowers and any other magical objects can be added to the stone altar as long as they are in tune with your magical need, or if you consider them to be 'power objects'--those things which increase or improve your ability to raise and send forth energy.
The stone altar is a place of magic.
