Create A Cleansing Altar
Yasmine Galenorn
To create an altar for use in cleansing ceremonies, first cover a small table with a white cloth, preferably linen.
Arrange on the cloth one freshly cleansed amethyst crystal, a thriving fern plant, a smudge stick in a small bowl of salt, a crystal candle holder with a white or lavender candle, and a bowl of dried lavender, rosemary, chamomile, and dill.
Light the smudge stick and blow the incense around the altar, saying:
“Spirits of protection, healing, and cleansing, bless the objects on this altar—that I might use them to aid in cleansing and purifying during my magical work. Blessed be.�?
Whenever you have need, come to the altar and work your cleansing, puri-fying, and healing magic here.
You may place pictures on the amethyst and ask that the person or object in the photograph be cleansed as well.
