About this listen

In her third and most important work, Juliet Diaz, the best-selling author of Witchery, offers an approach to magic, spirituality, and healing like no other and takes listeners through the deep work of decolonizing their spirituality.

The Altar Within: A Radical Devotional to Liberate the Divine Self is a work of spiritual revolution for all peoples, offering them practices and rituals in the arts of self-worship, self-discovery, and self-activism. The Altar Within is like no other approach to spirituality, breaking through the vicious cycles of harmful and toxic spiritual practices and beliefs. Diaz speaks for those victimized and enslaved by colonization and offers a new take on personal development based in the resounding plea of our ancestors to live our divined lives, the ones they could not have for themselves.

In the book, Diaz leads the listener through an exploration of:

  • Self-worship: Here, the listener comes to ritualize the experiences of self-compassion, mindfulness, self-acceptance, and radical self-honesty, creating practices that help them to see their divinity and altar within. Through these rites, listeners will have a better understanding of what it means to decolonize their spirituality, giving birth to new spiritual practices while honoring the experiences of our ancestors. Dismantling the idea that divinity must only exist from without, Diaz takes listeners on a journey of powerful self-worship, connecting them into the divinity that resides within all of us.
  • Self-discovery: In this section, Diaz helps the listener to discover their divined lives, but in a way that most teachers haven't offered. As Diaz shares, it isn't through our achievements that we find our purpose but through understanding the divine self. Here, Diaz leads listeners through practices in self-love, self-patience, and self-forgiveness, helping them to experience the stillness and wholeness needed to hear the messages shared by the divine.
  • Self-activism: Unlike traditional manifestation teachers, Diaz recognizes that manifestations are not brought forth by #goodvibesonly but by a real and committed process of activism, standing in our deep worth and sharing our humanity. In this section, Diaz offers a series of devotionals to guide listeners in the practice of community care, connecting the work not only with the magic of manifestation but with our communities, our ancestors, and the divine self within.

Pushing back on #lightandlove and #goodvibesonly, Diaz dismantles the wellness industry, releasing listeners from the practice of spiritual bypassing into a far more powerful experience of self, healing, hope, and spirit. This book is for anyone, including those who can't afford to buy all the tools, pay for the expensive memberships, people who have real-life issues, illnesses, and hardships. Through The Altar Within, Diaz brings the magic to real life, acknowledging our humanness by connecting with our spirit.

The Altar Within will help listeners create success in every area of their lives - from wealth, health, relationships, and personal development, to the nourishment of their relationship with the divine self. As Diaz explains, when we can finally decolonize our spiritual beliefs, divinity can be a super force in our lives, making us whole, stronger, wiser, and setting us on a path of transcendent activism.

In this life-changing work, Juliet offers listeners a collection of rituals, ceremonies, meditations, daily exercises, journaling, and subconscious and mindset techniques to take their spiritual and magical practice to the next level, healing deep trauma and finally living their divine lives.

An uplifting call to arms

I needed to hear this. I raised my arms and yelled YESSSSSSS at the end. This book was a gift and a challenge. I look forward to implementing Juliet’s suggestions and see what magic happens next.

Life changing. Exactly what I needed to hear

this book was challenging to listen to at first because of the deep self shame, hated and worthlessness I've been feeling.
I'm so glad I pushed through. It was life changing. I am going to listen again this weekend with the work sheets. It will take time to truly embrace myself as my own true self. But with Juliet's help and this book I'll get there.

Disappointed

While the author / narrator speaks in a down to earth way, I am bitterly disappointed in the purchase. In the beginning she carries on about how the world wanks on about "good vibes only" shit but then she carries on about it too, just a different way. The description gave me a totally different impression & this was nothing but yet another self help book. So wanky I couldn't make it past the 2 hr of listening. Waste of a credit I won't get back.
