Episode Details

Altars can be powerful—but setting one up without understanding what you’re inviting into your space can be a problem.

In this episode of The Spiritual Realest, Scarlett breaks down several different types of altars, including ancestor altars, money altars, hoodoo altars, and the boveda, while explaining some of the basic elements people may encounter when beginning their own research.

But this conversation goes deeper than candles, flowers, water, herbs, and petitions.

Scarlett gets real about the responsibility that comes with spiritual practice, why every piece of information isn’t meant for everybody at every stage of their journey, and why being careful about what—and who—you invite into your spiritual space matters.

And before you build another altar asking for money, protection, guidance, or connection, there’s one altar you need to make sure you’re taking care of first:

You.

Your mind. Your body. Your soul. Your spirit.

Because you were the first altar you were ever given—and no spiritual practice means much if you’re neglecting yourself.

The Spiritual Realest is where spirituality meets responsibility—heavenly minded, but always earthly good.
