I was asked a few days ago
about altars by an interested
friend.
Obviously, she was looking
at one of mine as I have them
all over my home.
Altars are three dimensional
prayer, as it were. They do not
replace other types of prayer,
but rather add to them.
Should you wish to build one,
choose the top of a dresser or
a small table. Dust it thoroughly.
I like to use a small table cloth
or special doilies.
There you will place precious
photos, mementoes, and candles.
I like to place female items on
the left and male items on the
right.
Candles are important to an altar.
Tea light candles often work best
as they can be left lit safely and
they burn out after a while. I
always make sure my tea lights
are in a candle holder for added
protection.
I like to stand by my altars through
out the day. I add my thoughts and
prayers.
If you look around your home,
I bet you will see several altars.
Perhaps mementos, photos, etc.
For moi, I just love three-d
prayer!
