In this new and revised edition, bestselling Indigenous Taino and Cuban American author Juliet Diaz offers a radical devotional guide for inner and collective liberation in this transformative work, an invocation to reclaim our humanity and magic in a world that thrives on separation. True liberation requires unlearning everything we've been taught about who we are, how we should exist, and what is possible. The Altar Within provides a path for those who refuse to separate spirituality from justice and seek healing that does not bypass the realities of oppression and the struggles we face. It is for those who understand that personal liberation is deeply intertwined with collective freedom and that community care and mutual aid are not just ideals but necessities in building a world that is inclusive, diverse, and just.

Through spiritual practice, rituals, and lessons rooted in ancestral wisdom, readers are invited to connect with their true selves and engage with the world's challenges with clarity and strength.

Let this work guide you as you become the alchemist, the witness, and the architect of your own liberation.
