Altars have always been the repositories of devotion, many of us have grown up living with the traditions that our grandmothers inherited from their ancestors, throughout America we have been nurtured by that wonderful mixture of religiosity and paganism, where divinity is intertwined with the mundane. there where we place our hopes and offer our thanks, where we had that connection with the beyond.
Throughout life, we lose that love for traditions.
Currently traditional education does not allow us to delve into it. What in pre-Hispanic times was considered the union of the human being with the forces of nature, that is, the union of the earthly with the spiritual, was devalued, alluding first to Christianity and then to science.
Most of that cosmogony and way of life was devastated.
Today more than in any other time, we have at our disposal the information with which we can all acquire more knowledge and we have the freedom to decide what to believe and the obligation to discern and act accordingly.
These beliefs of magic or miracles are being recovered, but it is nothing more than our connection with the natural world from which we come.
Which led KAA to shape its own idea and method of, in this case, healing.
The painted altars that, on the one hand, show us the arranged elements of nature and its healing energy and, on the other hand, take us to the remote past in which nature itself was almost inertia ready to rise to the category of divinity.
KAA altars show us the different powers and energies, they give us magic recipes to recover our well-being.
