what is a sacred space


sacred scribe
creating a sacred space It's a space - large or small that you set up to honour and connect with spirit.

It can be as large as an entire room or as small as a shoebox, the size does not matter, just the intent of it .Whatever is right for you is right.

A Sacred Space is all about honouring and connecting with the essence of who you are. It is all about sacredness.
Most people think of an altar when they think about a Sacred Space. Whilst an altar can be all your Sacred Space is, your Sacred Space can be much larger and used for more purposes than that it's entirely your choosing.

Most people start off with setting up an Altar as their sacred Space so here's some information to help you do just that.

Creating an Altar

An altar is a physical space you dedicate to spirit. It can be a table, a shoebox, a piece of carpet or an old box, the size and what it is made from is not important. What is important are the items you place on your altar, each item needs to carry meaning for you and feel right for you.

Listed below are some of the items that are on my altar to give you an idea of what types of things you can use to create your own. Remember, what is right for me, might not be right for you, so trust yourself and only do what is right for YOU

Candles I always light candles on my altar before doing any type of spiritual work. It helps me connect with the space and serves as a sign to spirit that I wish to connect with them. It honours the element of fire and enhances creativity.
Crystals / Rocks I have a number of different crystals and rocks on my altar which help to bring in the earth element and to ground the space and the energy as I work. To find out more, click here.
Feathers I have feathers on my altar to bring in the element of air and to honour all messengers.
Water I have water, either in a glass or quenching flowers in a vase to bring in this element and to honour the flow of life.
Pictures I have various pictures and photos on my altar. They all help me to connect with my heart and continue to stay within my heart as I work.

These are just some of the items on my altar, have fun creating your own!
