Assignment #1
Overall, I would like my altar to be a peaceful, clean place for meditation, reading, and just connecting with myself and the divine. I want to use my altar for magickal and celebrational purposes (this is probably an obvious :P), and also, have it as a place to think. I also plan to write in my altar space, and use it for creative thinking and working. Writing is a passion for me, and when I'm within the 'right' type of atmosphere and surroundings, I obtain my best and most creative mindset.
The element in which I feel very 'at home' to is water, so this may affect my altar's appearance. Water to me, is a very soothing, cleansing element. It is not only soothing/cleansing for the outside, but for the inside. When thinking of water, visualizing it.. I feel very peaceful. The touch of it to the skin, the sound it makes in nature, rushing downhill...like a roaring river crashing against the jagged rocks. When feeling nervous or rushed, lately I've been taking a break, and meditating. When meditating, I visualize a river in the woods, and helps calm me. This is something that I may want to bring out, and present in my altar with the items I create.
I have an altar that I've been KIND of using, but it is very incomplete, because I cannot at the moment afford those fancy products. I hope (and believe) that this class will help me create a good, and more personal altar! :)
