The colors you decorate your altar with need to be alignment with your spiritual assignment. Aphrodite loves pink but Nyai Roro Kidul LOVES green. If you have no idea who your deity might be, don’t panic. You might still be a mermaid even when you don’t know your waters. Reading into different mermaids can help you locate your language but your first altar can just be a simple prayer space. Use it to communicate to nature, to the universe and to the spirits you believe in like Gods or Ancestors or Spirit Guides. You could even build an altar to connect with the ocean. A lot of the deities people worship are just extensions of nature. Start where it makes sense for you. Don’t pressure yourself into a practice that you don’t understand. It is okay to start slow and simple. You don’t have to have all of the answers. No one ever will. Be mindful of your mermaid altars. They are spaces for your spirits to land. If you do honor mermaids or resonate with siren energy, an altar can be a space where you meditate or make magic. It needs to include water. If all you can afford to start with is a pretty decorated salad bowl from the dollar store, then do that. But water benders need water. Work on the expensive decorative items as you manifest the money to do so. Talking into a bowl of water (water is a portal) to communicate with loved ones on the other side or ancestors might be all you need to cast your spells. Hopefully this post helps someone today. And be careful bringing certain people around your altar. Mermaids love taking jewelry from men.
