—Altar Candle/Fire Safety Tips—
1. Any candle that’s not in a jar should have a heatproof dish under it
2. Candles that are on a shelf should be watched at all time of it being lit… (should have 3 feet above candle free)
3. Candles placed on a window seal should be watched and curtains moved completely out of the way and in winter candles shouldn’t be near a cold window it can cause Stress fractures and can break windows.
4. having oils, cologne, perfume, near candles or incense for long periods of time can make them go rancid and some can be flammable
5. Incenses should be watched at all times
6. clear quartz crystal balls should be covered (fire hazard if the sun hit them)

—Altar Liquid Safety—
1. Any bowls/cups of water should have a collection dish under it heat and cold will make it sweat and can cause warping on your wood altars also can ruin altar cloths and other fabric items you might have on your altar.

—Altar Sharp Items Safety—
1. Any knives, swords, bowlines, and so forth should have their sleeves on them just in case you have children that come into or are living in your home. (or keep put away in a drawer)
2. Some crystals can be sharp-pointed and should be placed further back on an altar this is for your safety and everyone else. (tripping and falling onto said item would not be a fun trip to the Dr)
