Title: Altar: Sacred Space Post by: Bantu_Kelani on March 17, 2004, 05:47:19 AM Altars are sacred places, the most focal point of most faiths. Your own altar in a quiet room or area of the house could be place where you meditate, read, listen to music or just get away for a few minutes without interruptions. Whenever we have a space like this we consciously and unconsciously empower it with intention and our own energy. We make it a Power place, a sacred place without our home. My own altar is filled with books, stones, crystals, candles, jewelry, herbs, pictures of Nature archetypes, and well-known ancestral liberation fighters. I love my altar it gives me insight and healing. For those of you who need help setting up your altar, here are some general meanings of the candles colors you can use for your altars.
