Is it a good/bad idea to make an altar beside your bed like on a night stand?

I think there is no reason at all why you cannot put an altar next to your bed. Whenever I travel with my job to hotels I take a travelling altar with me and always set it up on one of the bedside tables. The hardest thing about siting an altar is finding somewhere practical where it isn’t likely to be disturbed and somewhere personal where people won’t interfere with it. A bedroom is ideal for both those reasons.

Altars often promote a feeling of peace and serenity in the owner and what better place for quiet meditation with your altar than the room in the house where you are least likely to be disturbed. Setting up an altar beside your bed is an excellent idea!
