What we’re talking about today are personal altars and a personal altar is a collection of items placed together, not just for beauty, but because they have been imbued with a deeper meaning.

Symbols.

Personal altars are still a focal tool – they remind you of what you want to focus on. Only, YOU get to choose what that is; YOU get to decide what’s important enough to focus on.

Altars are reminders of what’s important to you

Just to my left as I write this is the altar I keep in my office. It’s MY altar. Not the family altar. Not the kid’s altars. Mine, and so it has on it things that are important to me:

It has my Story-Beads for connecting with my peeps

It has my folded crane with my wishes for 2015

There’s a seashell to connect me to my Goddess of the Year

An arrow for direction and The Archer – a tarot card for 2015 to remind me of the skill necessary to properly use the direction I am given.

And candles. And my BossLady Beads. And bees – lots and lots of bees.

my Story-Beads

I’m not one for sparse, sleek altars. Like my life, I like them rich and FULL.

Transition.

A time that isn’t one thing or the other. The in between.

That’s where I’m at, and it’s okay.

See, it’s been a very busy couple of weeks but you know that because you’ve been along for the ride. The website (re)launch, then a wonderful 8 days in the Big Easy with my family and then home to plan a Bar Mitzvah – start to finish.

(I know. The Bar Mitzvah seems not to fit with the whole non-denominational minister thing, but it really does!)

Anyway, it’s all been wonderful and rich and very very full.
