How to Build an Altar
An altar or temple space, is a place in your home which holds special meaning to you.
I really feel every home benefits from a dedicated sacred space; in my home, I have a little shrine in almost every room.
One of the main purposes is to remind me to pause and connect back to the present moment.
Your altar can be as simple as a candle, some incense and a favourite crystal. Or it could be more elaborately decorated with deity images or statues, plants, pictures of family or friends, feathers, rocks - leaves... Anything really which has meaning to you and brings you back in to remembrance of the sacredness of life.
Building an altar in itself is something I would encourage everyone to try. It’s a beautiful process, and I find they evolve over time, changing with the moon cycles and my life experiences.
I place my jewels on my temple space in the evening to re-charge them, ready to be worn the following day. Because, truly, you are the ultimate temple.
