I realized that my home practice space could be more peaceful so all week I have modified, eliminated, beautified, and organized. One part I am quite proud of is my new altar space. I haven't had an altar since I lived in San Francisco, more than ten years ago, where it was easier to obtain religious icons and ritual candles. My altar is lined in fabric from my grandmother and includes elements of nature like driftwood, bone, dried flowers. I placed photos of and mementos from friends and family who have passed on to commemorate their impact on my life. The altar has shifted attention in the space from my computer (a.k.a. work) to a contemplative environment. Here's what it looks like so far.
I would love to see your altar if you have one!
Lightning and fire,
Fawn
