Why Isn’t Your Altar in the Garden?
July 6th, 2009 | 
Author: You say that you feel the most connected with the divine and the land when you are working in your garden.
You’re happiest when you are doing things like repotting your geraniums.
But you are frustrated when standing in front of that altar, candles burning and all, while trying to pray because it has no real meaning to you, you just don’t feel it.
So
Why aren’t you praying when you are repotting your geraniums?
Why are there no geraniums on your altar?
Why isn’t your altar in the garden?

And this is why my shrine to Athena is in my office/library!
So true! When I tend to the outdoor plants (as I kill all indoor plants…I seem to have a black thumb…LOL), it’s spiritual for me. Being outdoors is spiritual. Walking in the woods is spiritual.
I haven’t gotten out much this summer (3 family deaths in 3 months, 1 death of a former beloved teacher, plus I’ve been feeling cruddy), but plan to start as of next weekend.
I’ll also be starting volunteering at Westfield Heritage Village, which will give me much more time outdoors.
