Dear cecil,
What is the correct way of keeping a altar. Should they be kept facing the main door or window. Thanks.

Dear Anon,
1. If there are different `Gods' one should place them with a gap in between the altars.
2. The altar can be on the same level and simply leave a gap e.g. 1 or 2 inches between the `Gods'.
Alternatively, another method is to use support to raise the `Gods' and leave them at different levels.
The more important `God' should be highest and preferably in the centre of the alter placement.
Do note that `raising the level of the Gods is not compulsory but just another consideration (instead of leaving a gap between the figurines).
3. Ideally, these figurines should be displayed `out' of the house.
For example, avoid having it face into the bedroom or a toilet.
4. Other `taboos' include:-
Not on the same wall as the toilet,
Not placed in the bedroom
5. Ideal locations are those where they face the main door area.
They need not face the main door but rather face the area or vicinity of the main entrance door.
6. It is acceptable for them to face the frontage of the house or a window (located at the frontage of the house).
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
