I have been working on the idea of a mixed alter for a goodly while and seem to have hit on something worth talking about. The Taoist Alter consists of two sub-alters. The central (internal alter), and the earth alter (external). On the back central alter there are statues of the four directional gods and I personal god. My idea was to substitute the personal god statue with a Yorishiro of white coral. Acting as a seat where the summoned god my sit fits the style of my magick better than the recommended picture of the first taoist of the celestial master cult- also I am not using the celestial master system so I feel no obligation to them.
