An Altar is simple piece of furniture Witches use to place their magickal tools and other important things. Such tools include an Athame, a Chalice, or a Wand...and several others. An altar is needed to perform rituals, prayers, and spells and other similar things. These tools must also be put in a certain area of the altar. An altar can be a glass table, a small peice of oak furniture, or something small like a dresser. Oak wood is prefered and any kind of wood is best. Here is the list of tools needed for an altar...
Athame- small double edged knife or dagger mainly used to cast circles
Chalice- a goblet or glass.
Pentacle- five pointed star, normally with a circle around it.
Censer and Insence- the censer holds the insence which are used different rituals.
Salt- a small cup or bowl of salt is needed.
Water- a small cup or bowl of water is also needed.
Wand- Needed to cast circles.
Candles or Goddess/God idols- used in certain rituals or other uses.
White-Handle Knife- used for cutting, not intended for the athame.
Well, this is all I can think of right now, and I apologize that the definitions aren't the best I could do at the moment.
