For as long as I remember I have had a table or cupboard top like here at my home in Stockholm. A display with flowers, candles and spiritual objects where I focus on hope, love & faith in my life.
An altar is according the ever correct
Merriam Webster dictionary :

2a : a tablelike construction used in the Christian church in celebrating the Eucharist

In uncertain times we humans historically turn to our spiritual side for guidance.
When we loose faith in our leaders we look for the right path within. At least that is what I do.
Being born as a lutheran I left my church in protest before the millenium due to the disgrace & discrimination of Biskop Bertil Gärtner. Which does not mean I have lost my spirituality or faith. As Eva Dahgren & psykopomp Hermes sang : Jag är gud - I am god
On the table in front of the altar in black are my candle holders & mini statuetts I call Artefact because the are inspired by the #artefact found at my all time favorite museum Glyptoteket in Copenhagen. I lived 1 hour drive away over #öresundsbron the bridge connecting Sweden to Denmark in Lund, Skåne for 3 years.
My Artefacts are 3 candle holders & 2 mini statuetts
you can buy separate or the whole family of 5.
Do you have an altar at home?
Stay in touch
Jimmy
