New Worlds of Body, Mind & Spirit Since 1901
| Whether it's a dedicated altar table or a cleared space on a kitchen counter, an altar becomes a focal point of power, and some of this energy remains within the surface after the spell or ritual has concluded. Every so often, it is a good practice to cleanse and rededicate an altar space to clear any magical residue so that it will not confuse the intent of future workings.
A simple means of cleansing is to anoint the altar with saltwater and visualize that this is breaking down any old energy, like dish soap works on a greasy pan. To seal the intention, you can say: "Solid space for magical connection, renewed, revived, and restored; a clean, clear focus for fresh direction, my altar is charged and its power reborn." Dry off the altar and set any tools back in place. |
