Alter – Honouring
There is a call to honour those who came before you. You may think of your parents and grandparents. Or, perhaps someone from your family history who did something that profoundly affects your life today. A long past relative that emigrated to a new country where you live and enjoy life.
Of course, you may not know what it would have meant to you to grow up “in the old country” but you know what it means in the here and now.
The altar mentioned here can be literal or it could be figurative. A corner table with pictures from your family history and mementoes could be an altar. It could be a windowsill or shelf near the fireplace. It could be a shelf in a workshop that only you have access to. It could be a park bench where you go to rest and recharge away from the busy world and mind.
It is your intention that matters.
It may include things not from your family history, such as crystals and candles, for burning incense. A crystal may represent earth, red candle for fire, incense for air, blue candle for water, a small mirror for you to look into can represent spirit, your spirit.
The altar focuses your mind and spirit. It is always there to remind you of what and who you are and who came before you, and who will come after you. It is a place where the material and spiritual worlds meet in the here and now.
