Altars & Spaces
Meditatingdockdweller poster a fabulous article concerning altars, emblems, and personal spaces. As always her post made me stop and read, as well as reflect. As she is a follower of The Dark Lord, I feel a sisterhood with her and wanted to share from my view.
Likewise I am devoted to The Dark Goddess and who I call my Dark Father. These may well be the same or different, however their influence and motivation are the same, I’m confident. My first pentagram was made with rope, hastily laid out and as I climbed inside I felt their embrace. As I grew closer and closer over time I made several altars to honor mostly Lilith as well as a touch of Lucifer. Listen to your inner voice as there is no need to spend hundreds of dollars on items, when you know what to do. I am unsure if my reply will allow an image, but ai will attempt one of my most favorite temporary altars.
With that said, I have no permanent altar other than my house. If one were to look carefully enough my living room is full of marble serpents, crystals and precious stones, idols, jade bodies trees, things from round the globe that when gathered together would certainly signify those found on an altar. Other rooms contain candelabra with black candles, red in another room. The red room contains the religious items covered in my fluids as well as some owls.
Yes my dwelling is my altar, and I converse with The Dark Goddess daily. For me it works, similarly to my use of religious items to amplify my Darkness. I know that these Divine entities predate the Abrahamic and the joy of using religious items is another self serving amplification and acts as my confirmation that I am not a follower of the light, but a bullhorn for Darkness. Salvete Lamia.
Thank you Hoku Lani!
As always, Hoku’s insights on this subject are Spot On. She (like Meditatingdockdweller) are both wise Sisters in Sin (fellow followers of the Dark Lord and our Goddess Lilith). While they share many similarities, they also are each unique in their approach and their insights. And both encourage much thought and reflection by each of us as well. The Left Hand Path is one that may be enjoyed and participated in communion with other followers. But it is also one of individualism. Each of us are called upon to come to the Darkness in our own ways as we may have been called by Father or Mother. No too will every truly be called to worship exactly the same. And so our altars should be of reflection of our personal relationship with the Dark Lord. If it works for us then that is all that really matters. And if it brings us closer to the Truth then it is a worthy altar, even if someone else may feel differently. So THANK YOU Hoku for your sharing your wisdom and insights.
