Zusammenfassung:This article is based on a study of home altars of believers who practice heterodox spiritualities. I refer to different kinds of spiritualities that are developed outside the ecclesiastical structures, which do not have dogmas, nor unique leaderships, although they participate in networks around ceremonies that guide their learning and their identity. Among these heterodox spiritualities we can locate spiritualities around nature (neopaganism); esoteric spiritualities linked to initiation schools; feminine spiritualities that are oriented by the sacralization of feminine nature; neo shamanic spiritualities, or linked to some ancestral rescue search or to an indigenous lineage. The article argues the relevance of the study of the altars and the material objects there arranged to be practiced attending the material side of the spirituality in the lived religiosity. The article argues the relevance of the study of the altars and the material objects there arranged to be practiced attending the material side of the spirituality in the lived religiosity.
