Sacred Space

We can claim any area of the home for sacred space. Often we create altars or shrines without realizing that is what we are doing. Look around your home, do you have a small collection gathered somewhere in a windowsill, on a tabletop, on a shelf? What does this say about your spiritual self? How can you use these personal areas to connect to the deepest part of who you are?

I find that I always have more than one altar in my home. One is where I keep my Buddha collection, another where I keep statues of saints that speak to my Catholic background. Still another is Wiccan. I like to keep candles around the house that symbolize some aspect of life on which I am working. You can find out more about candle magick and color correspondences here.

Whether you create a personal shrine that speaks to your inner self, or light candles for personal healing, paying attention to the sacred in your home will bring you closer to your deepest spiritual self.
