Once your Spirit Altar is constructed you will want to spend some time with it each day. Allow yourself to know without having to have tangible proof in your hand or within your physical sight. Allow yourself to feel and know, to imagine and know, to question and still know.

Be one with whatever form spirit takes for you. Call it by whatever name it calls itself. Invite Spirit to reveal itself then embrace it. Be still in the wonder and reverence of the moment or take a journey with Spirit as your guide. Speak with Spirit and in turn listen to it as well. Form a relationship with it that honors all things. Know the peace, the strength, the wonder of Spirit in your life.

In whatever form Spirit moves though you, honor it, use it, know joy in it's presence. As new symbols of Spirit make themselves known to you represent them in all facets of your life.
