So, quite recently, like, a month ago, my uncle gives me a small piece of furniture he no longer wants, so I cleaned and cleansed and blessed and purified it (it had been in his room forever and had--still has a little bit--candle wax all over it and such and just a bunch of things, long story) and am now using it as my altar. I'm Wiccan and have heard that you need an altar (I don't really know if you NEED one need one, but I like having one and it's very nice to have a specific place to pray, meditate, and do magick), but I never really had one before the one I have now. Before, whenever I prayed or meditated, I would put candles on my window sill and then take them down when I'm done. I had wanted an actual thing to designate as my altar so I could have a place to continuously keep the things I set up as an altar. Now, I don't really talk about these things with my family whom I live with. They don't go into my room, which is where I've set up my altar, and they don't ask questions. So, just yesterday, my uncle moved some things I had set up in a very specific way on my altar and I told him not to do that. He said, and later did, he would put some things on it for me that really had nothing to do with my altar or anything and I told him to please not do that. He asked why he couldn't touch my altar or move things or set random things on it and I told him that it's because that's where I pray and meditate and it's very special to me. He still put things on my altar and moved some of the things I had set up there. I asked him very specifically not to do that and that if he needs to give me something either put it in my bathroom or throw it in my room. But still he messed with it and not only is it special to me and sacred and everything I'm also very sensitive about people touching my stuff and moving it and going through it. I would like to know if anyone has any tips or suggestions on telling him not to mess with it?? He doesn't seem to listen exactly but I think he should know it's important enough.
