Episode Description

What exactly is an altar, and what makes one sacred?

In this episode of Cradles & Candles, we’re stepping into the world of altars—what they are, why we might create them, and how they can become meaningful spaces for connection, reflection, ritual, and intention.

We’ll talk about the different types of altars you can create, from permanent sacred spaces in your home to seasonal, devotional, ancestral, elemental, and even simple temporary altars. We’ll also explore what you can include on your altar and how to choose items that hold personal meaning for you.

There’s no single “right” way to build an altar. Your practice is personal, and your altar should reflect you—your intentions, your beliefs, the energies you work with, and what feels sacred to you.
