For many people who follow earth- and nature-based religions, there is a true sense of magic in the use of sacred space. A sacred space is one between the worlds, a spot that is not just a physical place, but one that exists on the spiritual plane as well. It may help you in your magical and spiritual practice if you learn how to create a sacred space for yourself - and this can happen either by creating a temporary space on an as-needed basis, or a permanent one that remains in place all the time.

Sacred space is found in many places in the magical world - locations like Stonehenge, the Bighorn Medicine Wheel, and Machu Picchu are just a few examples of the many sites considered magical. However, if you can't get to one of these, creating your own sacred space is a far more feasible option.

Here are some ideas on how you can create a sacred space of your own.
