Creating an altar is an intensely personal process. Although many altars have common elements, there is no set formula for selecting them. What you choose to display will reflect the purpose of your altar, as well as your own unique personality.
Some altars act like touchstones, as a place we can come to center and ground ourselves at the end of a busy day. They are a bit of sacred space in the mundane world. Some altars may have a specific purpose, such as a healing altar, or a prosperity altar, and act as a focus for magical intent.
Quote of the moment: The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg. Thomas Jefferson
