Up until that point, the only altars I'd known were associated with demonic witchcraft and satanist cults as seen on TV and in movies. When I began studying Islam as an adult a couple of years ago, I was taught that no object should be prayed to or worshipped over - that God or spirit didn't exist in "things" and to direct your spiritual intention toward anything but the man in the sky was forbidden. I didn't grow up religious, but I remember watching the 1956 film The Ten Commandments with my mom every Easter, and there's a scene where Moses returns from the mountain to find the village worshipping a golden calf idol. When I thought of altars, I thought of worshipping idols, which in Christianity and Islam is a no-no. Please continue to follow your intuition as you step into the craft of building your altar.įor a long time, the word "altar" had a dirty feeling for me.
