Creating a healing altar will safeguard
your physical health and that of your loved ones. Your altar is your sacred
workspace. It is charged with your personal power. Set up your healing altar
facing north, the direction associated with the energy of manifestation. North
is also the direction of the hour of midnight, the “witching hour,” and an
altar set up facing north at midnight promises potent magic.
To ensure healthful beginnings, find a
pure white square of fabric to drape over your altar to make a tabula rasa, or
altar equivalent to a blank slate. Take two green candles and place them in
green glass holders or votive glasses and position them in the two farthest
corners of the altar. Place your incense burner in the center between the two
candles and light the incense. Sandalwood, cinnamon, camphor, and frankincense
are all powerful purification incenses that are perfect for the creation of a
healing altar. Burn one or all of these purification essences to consecrate the
space. Adorn your altar with objects that symbolize healing energy to you. You
may perhaps choose a candleholder carved from a chunk of amethyst crystal,
which contains healing properties; an abalone shell with the iridescent magic
of the oceans; a sweet-smelling bundle of sage; a small citrus plant bursting
with the restorative power of vitamins; or a bowl of curative salts from the
sea.
These symbolic items, and any others
that you select, will energize your altar with the magic that lives inside you.
It is also important that the altar be pleasing to your eye and makes you feel
good when you look at it so that you want to spend time there each and every
day. After you have been performing rituals there for a while, a positive
healing energy field will radiate from your altar.
