Before we share with you how to create your sacred altar, let's talk a little bit about what rituals are in popular culture. Rituals are ancient practices, rooted in folk customs and traditions of various civilizations, particularly the Brazilian people. The practice of spirituality can take many forms and practices. Surrounded by magic and beliefs, amulets, sympathies and spells connect us to the most basic emotions and the natural world. Spells and rituals are simple ceremonies that, for those who believe and have faith in their healing power, can help materialize desires. They are also used for spiritual cleansing and purification, to nurture relationships, attract prosperity, generate good fortune, and improve and protect the health of your loved ones.

Do Rituals Work? Is it Important to Create an Altar?
Whenever you want to do a spell or a sympathy, remember that the most important thing is to focus on what you are going to evoke and believe that what you are creating or wanting can change your life for the better. For that, you need an harmonious space, that vibrates with good energies and where you can connect with your spiritual guides.
Intention and intuition are the fundamental ingredients for magic rituals to work. Believing that you are doing something that can really change your life makes all the difference when it comes to the power of transformative energy.
When you do a spell or a ritual, you have to believe in yourself and your ability to produce the desired result. Condition your mind to be the person you want to be and build your destiny consciously and according to your vision of yourself and the world. Believing is accepting something as true and real. Everything in your life is a reflection of your convictions. To create a altar is a way to say your spiritual intentions, such as what you’re trying to call into your life and the energy you’re trying to embody.
How to Create my Sacred Altar?
To create your altar for rituals and spells, you don't need much, just a quiet space and lots of positive energy. Fill your heart with good and generous feelings, towards yourself and towards other people.
You can decorate your altar and perform your rituals however and wherever you wish. You can either choose a specific room in your house, and set up a permanent altar, where you can meditate and mix your potions and spells, or light a candle in the room. Remember that the intention with which you make your ritual is what truly counts.
When you are in your sacred space, in your temple, disconnect from the outside world and all distractions. This is a moment just for you. Enjoy this harmonious atmosphere and the encounter with yourself and your inner energy. Use your altar of rituals to meditate, to develop and strengthen your intuition and psychic abilities, connecting with your spiritual guides. Take that time to yourself and respect it.
What to Put on My Altar?
On your altar for rituals you can place crystals, candles, talismans, personal treasures, incense, coins, flowers, offerings for your spirit guides, photographs and portraits of people who are special to you, letters from angels, gods or deities that represent something very strong for you and your spirituality.
Basically, what matters is that it is a space created with care and that it has meaning for you. Where you feel good, optimistic and protected. Where you surround yourself with symbols and objects that leave you calm and peaceful. May they bring you good memories and where you can meet your most intimate and deepest feelings. It is intended to be a "soul bath". A place made by you and for you. That promotes your spiritual healing and where you can reflect on your path and your life choices.
Coincidences? The Power Behind Magic
When performing your rituals and spells, you may notice some coincidences, also known as synchronicity. When that happens, understand that everything has a reason for being and that it is a message that you should try to interpret.
Belief is the heart of magic. When our beliefs change, our life circumstances change as well. Sometimes it's our own deep-rooted convictions, the negative image we have of ourselves and our abilities, that block us and keep us from moving forward. That's why it's so important that you have a safe place just for you, and to create your altar of sympathy.
In the spiritual dimension everything is interrelated. Past, present and future are harmoniously interconnected. This synchronicity makes it seem like everything has a precise meaning, which makes it easier to decide or make a decision. Whenever we're in sync with something we really want, it's very likely to happen.
