Learn the Art of the Altar
Where your heart, your creativity and universal energies meet, the magic of the personal altar lives.
Join me in this 6-lesson voyage of discovery into the Art of the Altar.
Separator
A personal altar in your home can serve as a powerful energetic focal point, a place to gather your energies and be reminded of your connection to the powers that be.
Though altars are used in many spiritual traditions, what you create in The Art of the Altar will be significant and meaningful specifically to you. It may be simple or elaborate. It may be subtle or dramatic. Your altar will be unique. Your altar will ring true to you.
As with any creative act, when you draw on your truth and trust your voice, you bring your soul’s magic to bear.
On this journey, you will create your own personally meaningful altar. Your creative expression will dance with the energies of the four directions – North, South, West and East – and discover how they are connected to the realms of Earth, Fire, Water and Air. You will gather wisdom and materials from each direction and these will become the components of your personal altar.
