To know how to make an altar at home, there are certain aspects that we have to take into account. If, on the contrary, you know how to mount your own altar, check that nothing is missing.

What are the four elements that must be on an altar?

Candles – fire element 🔥

Fire is a very relaxing element that helps us harmonize spaces and concentrate on a specific aspect. Adding a white candle and a black candle to your altar will provide the energy balance you need to work correctly in your requests. With them we managed to clean and purify our energies whenever we are going to do a job. Light them when you start your rituals and gather them when you finished it.

Minerals and plants – Earth element 🌱

Plants connect us with the wisdom and stability of nature, and crystals channel and enhance the intentions we have, so incorporating some of these elements on our altars is a great idea. If we decide to add minerals, we can choose those that fit our requests or with the zodiac sign.

Ritual waters – Water element 💧

To connect with this element we can use intentional water such as ritual waters. We can use them to activate our amulets and enhance their energies. Using them is very simple:

1️⃣ Put them in a container and introduce the talisman, amulet or mineral that you want to magnetize with the vibration of these waters.

2️⃣ Let it stand for about 30 minutes.

3️⃣ Pass it for the smoke of a sahumerium to activate its energy.

Incense and Sahumerios – Air element 💨

We can represent this element on our altars with the smoke that the Sahumerioso give away the incenses. In addition to providing security to spiritual work and the specific properties of each, they will help us clean and purify the space and prevent contaminated with negative energies.

Symbols and images 🧿

To customize our altar, we can add talismans, figures, photographs or statements with which we connect. They can be of gods, gurus or references to which we worship and dedicate our practices. We can also add objects that we consider sacred or important to us, such as a bracelet or something inherited. All these symbols serve us to guide and represent our beliefs during the day to day.
