Altar documentation

Altar is a Shopify theme by Buglyph for crystal and mineral shops, tarot and oracle sellers, witchy apothecaries and astrology brands. It is a celestial almanac laid out on a candlelit altar. The default page is a deep night indigo, and everything is drawn in fine antique-gold linework: products stand in tarot cards (tall 2:3 card faces with small rounded corners, an inset double rule, and a top cartouche that carries the badge the way a tarot card carries its number), and collections, intentions and the moon itself sit in circular moon masks ringed by a hairline orbit with one small planet on it. The ornaments are Altar's own: hand-drawn constellations, a phase row of tiny moons that opens every eyebrow, a star rule between sections, and twelve zodiac glyphs drawn for the theme. Headings are set in Imbue, a tall, condensed serif that stands like the cards do, and everything you read and press is Crimson Pro, a book serif, so the shop reads like an almanac rather than an app. Altar is built for the way your shoppers browse: by intention ("something for calm"), by sign, by the moon, and stone by stone. Its four tools answer them on the page: crystal properties (intentions, chakras, signs, element, how to use and a care warning, on the product page and as chips on cards), shop by intention and sign (intention tarot cards and a twelve-sign zodiac wheel with "find your sign"), a live moon phase with products "for this moon", and pick your piece, which shows one-of-a-kind stones piece by piece, each with its own photo, weight and size.
