Personal shrines. The age-old tradition of home altars is on the rise, reports the Los Angeles Times. These household artifacts have a long history among Christians and followers of Buddhism and Hinduism, according to Jeffrey Mahan, dean of faculty at the Iliff School of Theology in Denver. "There's so much more fluidity and freedom to mine multiple spiritual traditions today. . . . Home altars represent a kind of spiritual buffet." One keeper of a personal shrine, Madisyn Taylor, told the newspaper: "If we launch a new project, my husband and I light a candle, sit and hold hands and humbly offer our intentions to the universe. We keep a copy of our business plan under the altar -- to help grow the business."
