Denise Linn

I have always maintained an altar in my home. Some have been small and simple, others larger and more elaborate. A place to meditate, think, or pray. Denise Linn has created a beautiful reference guide here. There is the history of altars, the different cultures and religions that employ them and the reasons for doing so. When I was very young my pathway to an altar was a simple prayer jar where I wrote down a persons name or a situation that needed my prayers. I still do my prayer jar, most evenings. Putting and altar together usually evolves over time, as you grow and change so does your offering site, your altar.  A place to light that single simple candle and reflect. This is a lovely companion to begin an altar or a wonderful read to learn all about them. Peace. 🙏☮️🙏

Bringing Sacred Shrines into Your Everyday Life

The author explains how to enhance one's personal spirituality by creating an altar in the home, drawing on the ancient principles of feng shui to describe where to locate a home altar, select altar objects, and develop rituals to enrich one's life
