Behind the statues are the ashes of my two beloved cats. I feel like if I want to meet my goals and ambitions, I have to respect something spiritually close to me in order for me to feel the aidance of the universe. After giving my cats something to eat and play with, I feel like I am benefiting them and that fuels my determination.

Lovely, with the little Buddhas to be. I read in gnosis that our other alter is our spiritual body temple mouth, lol.

I’m planning on doing some similar with our cat. We lost him to diabetes a little over a year ago. Did all we could to keep him healthy but his body just gave up a few months after his 10th birthday. I miss him and it hurts so much

Be careful who you let see your shrine.

I put tins of herring on my shrine and a dharma sibling trashed my shrine they were so offended.

Risks of hosting practices!
