A spiritual altar is the center of spiritual development in whatever faith you choose to follow. Its a place to acknowledge our ancestors, communicate & get to know our egguns on a daily basis.

Today is my birthday (no not my ocha birthday), I wake up emotionally not in the right place. I still give all praises to God for my health, for my life, and waking up giving thanks for the blessings I have & build my relationship with Him.
I light my candles to celebrate my birth with my ancestors, egguns & those good spirits that walk with me. I ask them all to hear me as I talk with God. I ask God to heal my heart from sorrow, rejection, and loneliness. Heal my spirit that continues to be subjected to the dismissive treatment, unhealthy communication and passive/agressive behaviors from others. Heal my tounge and mind to respond in a negative or ungodly way as a defense mechanism. Help me to use my mind and my voice when speaking up for myself in a healthy way for positive results.
