That moon was magical. I had a similar experience on my altar with the recent passing of my grandma. And I just felt her presence and cried and glad she lived out a beautiful life 💗💗
@@marquiesha_janae1417 I think if you perhaps involve your children in making it and help them to realize it is special. Perhaps it will help them understand not to mess with things.
I have an altar😇 and I’m a Christian 🙏🏾so💁🏾♀️…people should respect everyone’s beliefs 📝and how they choose to express their individuality. The first time I set up my altar 🙏🏾 I was gathering 🛍all the things I wanted for it. It was exhilarating 💥💥I set it up and started ✨ to pray 🙏🏾 and just broke down crying 😭 for like 2hours. It was as though I was being released and cleansed from many things🧘🏾♀️at that moment I knew 👍🏾I was going to ALWAYS have an altar until I transcend 💫 it is my Sacred place 👸🏽 Thank you Sis for sharing yours ❤️❤️❤️ Peace and Light 🌟🌟🌟
Call me crazy but I really felt Matt’s mom with you in this video. She shines so brightly, her presence is so pure, she is so proud of you two. What a beautiful video Veladya ✨❤️
You are free to practice whatever you want God didn't created robots but human. I read the Bible I try my best to follow the spirit of God and the words of the Bible I try apply it to my lifestyle not read it like I look at me on the mirror and forget what I look like. I was just informing you especially the confusion Christians twisting the words of the Bible . Continue your ancestors spirit you free to practice your ancestors. I am just a Message trying to inform someone, but I guest the world will do whatever it want. I was just want to help in my God and Jesus, you know when you care for someone soul, I am tired of helping people just do yourself...
@@kamicheb8317 Really I don't care who you are you do yourself. Listen I was just informing you what it write in the Bible. You free to choose what you want. God didn't created robots but humans. I was trying to help for the truth in the Bible, what God say in the words of the Bible that he leave for human being. I don't care about what people doing anymore, because people will do what they like anyway. I open to discussing the Bible if someone wants but if their don't care I will not waste my energy, heart, love and times, because I look like the one who hate people and crazy. I was just want to help but does days people smart in they own understand not from God. God gives free will that's between them and God in the end. I feel like If I have a lot of good wealth or goodness from God like the treasures of heaven. I am trying to share the good news with humanities who searching for meaning of feeling good, hope, humanities thirsty for goodness in a evil world, God his eternity life, peace, the good spirit of God is patient, teach us all things slef control, love, kindness, joy, protection ECT...
I've always felt conflicted on whether to share my ancestor's shrine. Mine has elements of nature, crystals, native fibre work and offering of sweets. It changes. Always keeps me connected. Thanks for your transperancy.
The more you research Christianity and their holidays the more you realize that they stole from pagan holidays. We as humans never had religion. We all had ancestral wisdom. We were connected with the Universe and our ancestors. And that frightened the wrong people so they started religion as a way to control the masses. Period. My life has changed for the better since starting my combo ancestral and deity altar and started burning ancestor money
No disrespect yes church celebrate paganism true also Sunday means sun worship, the Sabbath is in Saturday the leaders misleading the people like the news. The Bible write any dead Spirit you evoque or communicate is the angel of the Spirit of Satan you not calling your ancestors. The Bible wrote this not me i just let you know this, God always have his sharpers warning the sheeps. That Satan Spirit passing for ancestors. I try my best not to follow religion but the words of God in the Bible and what it says...
@@dinarobert3463 That is fine. There are many routes to spirituality. I can't really get behind a Holy text that's been cherry picked by men and constantly translated. We know religion was used to subdue the masses. The plantation owners used a special Bible to keep their slaves in line 👀 I highly recommend the free documentary: Caesar's Messiah. It's here on RU-vid for free
The Haitians, the slave even others magic power like Aztec use that same Ancestors deaf Angels Spirit of Satan the same ritual ceremonial, some Haitians use it to Figth the white men. The Haitian sale they souls and children souls for freedom look at Haiti now New Orleans disaster. Please be careful altar have nothing to do with God and Jesus. Jesus died for our sin. In the old times men always use altars to sacrifices animals, humans, they children, false God. I know some voodoo I am from the Caribbean. I inform myself about black and white magic, Buddha, Catholicism, Satanic church, New Age, occult all the same fuel power of Satan Angels.
@@dinarobert3463 Altars aren't dangerous or evil. If this were the case then altars wouldn't be in churches. But they are in churches. The Catholic Church has statues of Jesus, Virgin Mary and Saints that they pray to. The Catholic Church burns incense. The Jews burned incense in the Temple to worship their God and the Bible talks about burning incense as a sacrifice to God. The Bible and Church teach us "to call those things that are not as though they are" and to "have Faith and Believe" a common concept amongst those who practice manifestation. The Bible talks about meditating on the Lord but churches preach that meditation in yoga is "bad." The Bible talks about how if you don't Praise God then the rocks and trees will Praise God for you but if we say everything on this Earth has an energy and if you use crystals then it's evil. I could go on and on but you see my point. "Christianity" is no different than paganism but has done it's job to make people believe that it and monotheism are the only way. Christianity is just a Holy version of paganism.
I know you have no bad intentions but a religious person has been so brainwashed that if it’s not part of their beliefs it’s from the works of the devil. You’re going to get them type of people making negative comments as long as you make these types of videos. You gotta just ignore the comments. Don’t give them any room into your spotlight! Love your vids!
Eh, I wouldn't say it's that general/vague. It's generally understood in Christianity that idolatry or worshipping anything that isn't God directly is works of the devil.
Thank You. For a nano second, I considered responding to a comment directed at me and my practice, then decided it wasn't worth my precious energy. Sending Universal Love and Positive Vibrations to You. Stay Safe & Well.
I keep a China cup and saucer on my altar. I pour hibiscus and herbal teas to share with my mother and grandmothers. They all kept a set of good china during their earth visits. I keep dark chocolate covered almonds and fresh fruit. My altar is my sacred space to offer prayers, receive messages and journal. This video filled me with so much joy! I love your channel sweet being Earth Mama🙏🏾❣🤗 I have a grandbaby coming soon! Our family is all abuzz with the anticipation of new life too! What a joyous time! 👶🏽👑💃🏾🎊
I am a southern baptist and have been on my healing journey. You have helped me tremendously with my growth with God. I love my church, they have taught me how to have my relationship and quiet time with the Lord. You have helped me how to embody God and to amplify my spirituality. Thank you 🙏 for your channel.
You did a wonderful job with the explanation at the beginning. I’m Christian and I have an Alter it’s definitely nothing wrong with having one and my father is a preacher he is okay with it as well. Thanks for sharing 💚🙏🏾✨
There are different types of altars. Just because she said it has nothing to do with witchcraft doesn’t mean it isn’t. This is clearly an ancestral altar which is very similar to Orisha which is witchcraft.
@@fromthornstoroseswithchrist tf are you saying? I'm not black but a lot of black people I know doesn't equate their practice with witchcraft. Witchcraft is European origin - the continent of the colonizers. Orisha is not witchcraft, it's of African origin.
I had an Altar at home for my Buddhist practice. I rented my home and moved back to my parents temporarily, but never set it back up. However the combination of being on lockdown , insomnia, anxiety and low Energy has begun to take its toll on me. This morning after a good cry and chat with a friend, I decided to create a temporary Altar. A Sacred Space for me to recharge Body, Mind and Spirit. This video popping up when it did is affirmation that I'm on the right track. I'll definitely browse your friends website. Love the Tuning Forks, Ancestor Candle and all of your Beautiful Crystals. Blessings to you and your family. Stay Safe, Be Well Desi
Also, I practice ancestral healing and the ancestors do love energetic offerings of food and whatever else they're requesting. They sometimes don't like to have their photos placed altars because they don't identify with those vehicles anymore, so asking if they want their photo on the altar is a respectful thing to do too. 💗
@@veladyaorganica Exactly... Wait for a sign or a message. 😊 I had never thought of it either before. But it makes sense, right? I changed my name many years ago and I don't like to be called my birth name cuz I don't identify with it. As with any relationship, consent is key and regular checking in...things change. Your altar is beautiful and I'm so glad you shared it with everyone. 💗💗💗
Akhera Shepsutera Cool! Maybe I’ll ask mine if anyone wants to be removed hehe. I love the pictures symbolizing their presence while they were earthside but also want to respect their wishes :) Thanks for sharing.
I wanted to say that your videos bring me such peace and stillness when I needed it most. I just finished my last round of chemotherapy and it’s been difficult to feel safe in my life, when I no longer feel safe in my own body (2nd fight with cancer) and the energy you share in your videos has been incredibly healing. I’m taking it day by day and each video you make reminds me to smile and enjoy and trust the light in me again. Thank you for that
Love it. My alter is the whole top of my dresser. I need to add pictures of my ancestors. I love it because its the first thing I see before I go to sleep and wake up. Its a reminder to always give thanks.
Saying this humbly, ancestral altars or any deity altars should never be in the bedroom. 2 reasons: 1 you'll constantly be disturbed in your sleep bc they will want your attention constantly , 2 its disrespectful to the spirit or ancestors bc the bedroom is a place of dressing & intimacy which is something you wouldn't do in front of them when they were living. 🤗
My God Mother also advised against the bedroom for an altar. However some people live in a multi occupancy house and therefore there is not much choice in this instance, we can only work with what we have. Blessings to you.
@@beautywithinsherry7141 yes. I remember reading that when I was doing my research. And immediately communicated my apologies to my ancestors. I make sure my bedroom is clean before i sit down to commune with them.
It's WILLLDDDDD you uploaded this today. I spent the better part of my day redoing my altar!!! ( I'm doing chakra healing right now so I did some tidying up/adding chakra based items for the Muladhara ) Cleaned it, switched up and redid my ancestor altar, put a new perfume for my Grandma and some of her homeade jewlery on it for her. And burned some ancestor money. Regarding offerings- I always have a glass of water- I put some cigars/smokes on from time to time, food wise I keep it to items that take a bit longer to go bad. My grandma and I used to eat avocados together ALL the time. So I put the seeds on it sometimes. Food wise I try not to do like full on meals unless I can really sit and watch it cause you know- fur babies LOL. Coffee is a MUST- and wine from time to time. You'll knoe what to put, or they'll let you know REAL QUICK. Thanks for sharing such a personal sacred space with us. Bless you and your ancestors 💓 Loved this video! 💓💓💓
Oooh! Your baby is going to be so blessed! Love the beads on your selenite, palpable energy 💖 the rose of Jericho is also a brilliant touch, it could be a great visual reminder of when to tend to the altar again as the water evaporates. Absolutely beautiful. Thank you for sharing! Also a fun note on offering food, I always thought that was kind of weird to me. I could respect that others did it, but I thought it was being a little..."extra"? I had a dream given to me that gave me a new found respect for it though. I was the ancestor in this dream and I felt myself being called and awoken, my spirit was pulled through a gray tunnel, which I interpret as descending dimensions. When I arrived I felt very groggy and disoriented, it was almost uncomfortable adjusting to my spirit being in this level of reality again. Then I saw the woman leading this ceremony which called me in, she had tropical flowers and fresh cut pineapple laid out beautifully on a bed of banana leaves, waving an incense of some sort and inviting me in. At that moment I recognized my family member (who now is only child) among other women who were also waiting for their ancestors to arrive. I can't tell you how please I was to see that offering, it's like being suddenly awoken from a good dream, but then the "offender" brings out a fresh cup of coffee and breakfast in bed. I felt immediately grounded, appreciated, and even pleasantly surprised. I will never look at food offerings the same!
Peace beautiful being. Thank you for sharing your altar. I remember when I started my altar, man I had a backlash from granmother and aunt( I live at home). I set it up, started with only 3 elements (air fire earth). When I burnt sage everyday that's when they started complaining as they realised that I was calling upon the ancestors. They asked me if I am training to become a sangoma(traditional healer in South Africa). My cousins asked if I was even calling the right ancestors. Ofcos I was, I did my research from my grandfather. I decided to dismantle it and continued praying/meditating without it until 2018 when I was called to actually set it up again. But this time talk to my ancestors and let em know of the minimalistic altar I was about to set up, I asked them if it was okay and that I cannot offer food since I am still living under families roof and I'll do so when I have my own place. They accepted the terms and i offer to them by caring for my child and dancing and buying them gifts. I have all 4 elements on my altar this time around and I burn other incense & not too long so the scent doesn't fill the whole house. I am looking forward to manifesting my 2 bedroom, 1 bath cottage house so I can express myself freely. Namaste
You calling in Satan spirit who's liaring to you read the Bible it talk about this don't be deceive by Satan. Satan make you believe is your Ancestors no no I begging you to stop if you desire...
Finally! Someone understands me. I get spiritual chills when I talk about my ancestors or do something that relates to our past. I’m always standing up for their legacy. The blessings cannot be explained. Your ancestors surely do appreciate you. ✨
I love the way you approach this topic in a way that's friendly to all religions and open for everyone to understand! Great way of having this kind of interfaith discussion.
Hi beautiful souls!! I have been working on my altar for a while now without realizing it. My first altar ended up bringing me too much sadness as it was completely dedicated to my Father. I had some serious soul work to do around this due to traumas from the past and thankfully I'm over the hump with all of that. The photo of Matt's beautiful Mother made me cry. I''m so sad for those who lose their parents too young. Matt looks like his Mom and I hope that he is in a good place with things. On another note, Veladya you look as radiant as ever and your beautiful smile lights up the world. Have a blessed Sunday guys. XOXO from Indiana Auntie M
I’ve been getting into spirituality and I’m very excited to make my alter. I feel like it’ll really bring a lot of good energy to my life as well as control my sometimes bad attitude towards my parents. Thank you for this video!
Also I love how you’re charging the amber for your little one. She will carry the energy of all of her ancestors with her everywhere she goes . Great idea ! 💚💚
I stopped blowing out my candles when I found that out. So if I need to stop the flame, because I have a toddler and can't leave a candle burning till it's done, I use my finger to put out the flame
My family has always had an altar, its how we honour and communicate with our ancestors, its a way to stay connected...it could take the whole day for me to talk about it...lol. I love how we're oceans apart but we're still the same. Love from south Africa
I have been thinking about building an altar for quite some time in this video just confirmed that I need a space to meditate and talk to God and my ancestors regularly. Your alter turned out absolutely amazing! Great job!!
Just got chills when you showed the frog from Puerto Rico, Im from there as well all my family. I started my own little altar at home and wanted know how to continue making it my own especially after my abuela passing in February. Thank you so much for sharing ❤️❤️
Ive been waiting on this for sure. Ive never been very close with my family due to familial separation but Ive researched and created a family tree of women on my mother's side and I hope to place this on my own alter once its finished. ♡
I dont have the ideal space to make an alter but your videos inspire and bring me peace knowing this will all be possible one day. Thank you for all your kind offerings, love and light 💛🌻
@@dinarobert3463 what is wrong with building a "Alter" ? this is nothing new in christianity which I assume is your belief. What he or she practice is different topic but her comment did not mentioned her belief, she stated she is building a Alter
@@MEAT_BALL_ON_PAWS Please people do what please you i was just inform you from my God Yehovah Yesuha the God of Abraham, Jacob, Joseph, the I am what the Bible words says about this things. Also I don't care anymore how people live they life that between them Satan and God. Expect if the spirit of God tell me to tell the people God desire is none perish in judge day. I am building and working in my mental, self and soul. I have no energy and times trying to help people or tell them how to live their life. I need to help my own self and let my light shine. The spirit of God always help me to survive in this savage world. How to treat people, forgive, peace, rest, self control, let go, how i change my own self for the best in God way, in pureness and wellness. I don't need to write or talk anymore. I am starting with me first. People can take example or follow good behavior of love God like it please them and be best. I always improving the way I eat,my Faith, plus with my family and myself.... Peace Shalom Taylor 🙏 live your the clock not waiting for no one.
I completely believe that our ancestors are with us. When I had my youngest daughter I had a c section which was my second one and it took longer because of scar tissue and I Kidd you not my grandma and great grandma was there and my dad I seen them standing behind the dr and nurses then in my room when I was coming out of recovery they were standing over my daughter. She has 2 birthmarks one between her eyebrows and one on the back of her neck the nurse said it means they have been kissed by angels.
My heart really resonated this. Your altar is so beautiful and precious as well. I started my own altar which is still work in process. I really needed this video today. ❤️
Just ordered some goodies from Soulful Vibes and I’m so excited to get them in the mail and I’m just absolutely love supporting black business!! ALL THE LOVE 💛💛💛
Yes! Yes! Yes! Thank you so much for this. This had been on my mind so heavily. Just didn't know where to begin. Thank you for allowing us to see such a sacred part of your home.
This year in 2021, altar work called out to me. My very 1st altar is a dragon 🐉 one to connect with my spirit totem guides. This week, I started an ancestor altar to honor them, that my soul came through their DNA 🧬 lineage. I had to get over a lot of religious fear programming. Love 💕 your disclaimer at the beginning.
This video made me emotional. I love my roots! Thank you for sharing at such divine timing when people can really begin to connect and build stronger relationships while on quarantine. 🙏💖And when you can't make the altar, remember you are the altar. They are always with you and you are them. ❤️
Beautiful day beloved sista,I’m new to your channel and so far I’m finding peace watching you.I will remain here to learn and gain knowledge from you.I am very pleased to have ran into you🙏❤️❤️🌹
it's fine. I also like essential oils and a good relaxing bath. It's like spa... you mean? Which refreshes, relaxes the muscles to feel lighter. BUT YES. MY BODY IS MYYYY TEMPLEEEE.
I love u guys..and your energy is full of positively and good spiritual energy so keep making your wonderful videos. Peace and blessing to you and your family 🧘🏽♀️🌻🦋🔮☯️☮
Thank you so much for sharing your altar Veladya. It is simply beautiful, just like your essence. I personally leave a glass of wine on my altar for my ancestors and spirit guides. Ever since I have been presenting offerings I feel the presence of my spirit family more prominently.
I am not interested in building an alter, but I really love that diffuser. It seems to have the capacity to release enough fragrance for a very large room. Have a lovely day
The Rose of Jericho is also used for prosperity and abundance . You can offer it crystals for abundance / prosperity and also coins. And the water can be used to bless yourself and home .
It saddens me that you have to put this gentle disclaimer. I have been wanting to create my ancestor altar. Thanks for this video I found inspiration in it. It gave me some ideas. Thank you for this video blessing to you, Mat, your family and lil peanut.
I've been watching as many videos as I can when it comes to making my altar at home, and this video was by far the best! I have pictures of my ancestors that I would like to represent on my altar too. The only thing that I'm nervous about is using incense as my "air," element and that's because it tends to bother my sinuses. However, I'm sure I'll make it work. I think I'm either going to use my main dresser where there's a lot of space for me to work on or it might have to be on my nightstand. Haven't figured it out yet, but I'm sure I will. Thank you for sharing this video with us.
I call myself a spiritual Christian because I flow with things outside of typical Christianity. It’s why I love your videos because they are filled with unbiased love, energy, and knowledge. This is why I’m hesitant to call myself a regular Christian. I believe in the Bible and Jesus and that he is Lord but there is SO much out there like energies in crystals, manifestation, etc that aren’t typically “Christian” but are biblically backed up. There ARE chakras, energies, etc in all different things. There’s so much more than the cookie cutter Christianity that people are too scared to look into.
“Do not turn to mediums or necromancers(communicating w the dead); do not seek them out, and so make yourselves unclean by them: I am the Lord your God. -Leviticus 19:32.... you can also look up Deuteronomy 18:10-13... look up the spirit of divination. God also speaks about the “elemental spirits” of this world deceiving people...(Colossians 2:20)... Satan is the God of this world and he is is called the “Master of Deception” look up people’s testimonies from “New Age to Jesus”.....do not be ignorant to the demonic forces that are behind this stuff trying to trick you into thinking it’s okay.
I have so many altars for different things! I particularly think the ancestor altar is so important. And thanks for the disclaimer at the beginning, people see something different and think it’s evil but it’s really all just love 💓
Just recently discovered your channel and I find your videos to be so relaxing to watch. I really enjoy watching in the evening with a cup of coffee or tea and just unwind. Thank you!
You are amazing! I've been so lost in my life and felt like I had no good purpose. After watching many of your videos I am so ready to just live peacefully. Do you have any suggestions on how to get started with crystals and spiritual items I'm not even sure where to start looking?
i'm a pagan witch (and btw witchcraft isn't evil) and i have an altar too, which is very important to me. I use it as a workspace for my practice and i also keep things that represent the elements, my deity, my ancestors and anything that i want to focus on at that time or just things that put me into a spiritual mindset like plants or things i found in nature. i give offerings to my ancestors and my deity as well, mostly food or sometimes liquor, cigarettes, a specific inscense they like etc. i also meditate and journal there and keep all my most used spiritual and witchcraft related items there and it's a sort of save space for me :)
Beautiful!!!!! I have an ancestral and deity altar and a prosperity altar. Don’t forget to include things from nature like rocks, flowers, and branches. Pine cones also. It raises the energy. My Jericho plant opens up during a New moon and full moon. I also add money to it. When you cook for your home. Take a small portion and place it on the altar. I always have rum. Coffee everyday. It’s my duty to honor them.
I have alters all over my house without even really meaning to I always find value in things around me...I was just thinking today I need some dirt plants in my house lol and I need my daughter to play 😭 n the dirt lol even with this Covid situation I really feel like my daughter and I need this. I'm pregnant too so idk maybe it's just that idk
Glad you made the disclaimer for all the religious people out there. There is more than one way to the Source or Power, than what "religious people" and the indoctrinations they preach or enforce on others. Thank you. I too was raised with certain religious beliefs, but I am definitely open to the concept of alters even though I have never had one. Thank you.
The first time I was introduced to alters was in my catholic abuelas home. Now, most people are gonna read catholic and think I mean she was strict or mean or very traditional, etc, but it was the opposite, the definition of human kindness and love. Her alter was a prayer alter where she had past family members and pictures of alive family members and she would stand there and pray over everyone everyday. I know if I have anyone watching me from the other side it's her! I love this video! RIP Nena
Thank you beautiful soul. I know exactly what I want on my altar and I am grateful for your sending us to the soulfulvibes website. I will be making my first purchase today. peace and love...
Thank you for this video because i have been trying so hard with no guidance to set up an altar and i was struggling but now i have a better idea of how to get it going thanks again
Folks should focus on what spiritually AWAKES, what makes them a better HUMAN BEING and not what they don't understand. I love this. PEACE & BLESSINGS.
