Do you have an Altar?

[Dascent]

Emmm, usually altars are used as a sacred space, for worship or a place to find a specific energy... among other useful uses...
For me, my world is my altar.... I have a property on countryside in Romania, 3 sides of my property are field and forest... imagine the energy, the purity, the connection, the magic. That's my altar... is more of an inner state rather than a physical location...
I carry beliefs but I worship nothing but the gratitude I feel for the entire life experience.
Sounds poetic? Of course, I speak from within my altar, from within my temple.

Romaina is beautiful. I'm glad I've visited it.
Only regretting not buying a bat in resin there.

Writing a post about Vallée's journals made me think of this thread: Vallée explains that (without as much success as hoped for, I think) in the "tower" he got added to his house, he tried to create a singularity by gathering particular writings (books, first editions, writings) and objects (glass art he made himself for instance). That resonates with Wechter's advice to gather things that feel magical to you, and make you feel magical yourself (or connected to magic).

I have a small altar that helps me focus and shift into an inner-work mindset. In my view, an altar — or, for example, special practice clothing — acts as an anchor, almost like a “crystallization of intention.” I think this is important and useful in certain practices.

I do. I have one for my religious practice (and various shrines around the home), and then one for my magical practice.

My altars built themselves, and I have many, and in varying sizes. Where I write, where I sleep, where I meditate, where I pray, where I cook, where I work magick, where I walk my dogs...there I have my altars. There is not a single space in my home that is in any way apart from the sacred, actually. My ancestors are there, the spirits I work with, the pantheon that reflects my deepest longings and aspirations, along with gifts of power from my allies and photos of those that I love, and artworks, and lots and lots of rocks. My altars are expressions of my inner life in material form; my magick made manifest, and a place where I hold power, and where power rests with me. I could not imagine being without them.
