I have a main altar kinda fixed into the Eastern corner of the room. However, I'm considering a smaller more portable altar that I can use for rites that require the altar to be in specific places, or facing certain directions.

My question is, should this altar be one of those standing decks you can buy online and put your laptop on? Or be a smaller altar to which I'd have to sit at?

I guess my question is, do you like to do rituals sitting or standing?

Also, happy late Thanksgiving.

Just lay a napkin on the floor, draw an appropriate symbol on it, place a tea light and whatever you think you need on it and say "voila".
Do you ever do anything with the answers you get to your questions?

My portable altar is a wooden tray. I think its for breakfast in bed or something but I use it for outdoor rites. For the past year though its been reconsecrated as a scribal altar that I use in front of my main altar that I can sit at in the middle of ritual on the ground and use to draw images/write calligraphy/spells.

When im doing the outdoor rites with it even though its on the ground and low I still stand in front of it. I definitely enjoy the portability of it being so small as ive taken it out into the desert at night, I take it to the beach regularly, graveyards, and abandoned buildings. I think if it was a standing TV tray it'd be alot more of a pain to haul around at night when I have to adventure out for the rite.
