Hello, in this article, I will describe how you can make your own spiritual altar. Spiritual altars are very important because, with them, this is an area where you will be doing your spiritual work, calling on your spirits/ancestors, and to have a place for you to make the magic happen.
So you know what the basics are with a spiritual altar, but here are some tips on how to get started with preparing the altar, so you can start working. First, I need to differentiate between two different things. There are many different types of altars, ancestral altars, spiritual altars, personal altars, money altars, love altars, etc, so there are many different types of altars. In this article, I will specifically be talking about spiritual altars. This is whether you practice Hoodoo, Wicca, or any other type of spiritual practice, you will be able to connect with your spirits, ancestors, or deities whom you work with, and this will be an area where you will be able to reach out to them and increase the focus and power of your work.
First, what you want is an altar; this can be a TV dinner stand, or it could be something as elaborate as a dresser stand. You get your stand, and then what you do is get a white tablecloth, which will cover up the stand. The white cloth is important because white is a good color to bring in positive energies, and it represents purity. The next thing you want to do is cleanse the altar that you will be using. You can cleanse your altar with Florida water, holy water, rainwater, or even incense. It is important to cleanse the altar because this is a sacred space and a place of elevated energy, so you always want to remember to cleanse the area. The next step is to add a glass of water, and you may ask why water? Water is the universal conduit, and water is the element used to give passage to spirits and ancestors being around. So, it is important to always have a fresh glass of water, and you want to change out the water every week for your spirits who will be there with you at the altar.
The next step is to add the items/ images of the deities you will be working with. If you are working with a statue of Jesus, place it there; if you are using a statue of Santa Muerte, place it there, or a picture if you cannot afford a statue. Also, if you want to add pictures of your ancestor, then place their pictures there. The reason for putting these pictures there is that you want to make this a space for yourself as well for the spirits you are working with. This is also a place for them to come to. If you are working for yourself or a client, this will be a place for your spirits to always know that this is a place for them, too. The next step is to start working, whether you want to go to your altar to pray, meditate, or do your spiritual work, this is a perfect place for you to do these things. This altar, which you will have created, will be basic. If you would like to reach out, there are more in-depth things you will be able to do. However, now I believe this is sufficient for the beginner to start their journey. Thank you so much for reading!
