An altar erected in loving honor of the Great Mother, the Divine Feminine with offerings representative of her unlimited and unconditional love and bounty to that which She has birthed in the plant, mineral and animal kingdoms. The altar was laden with living-offerings which included a variety of flowers, plants, fruits and vegetables, crystals, shells, candles and mirrors, tobacco, sage, spices and cornmeal, fish, birds, holy-beads and holy water and sacred objects placed reverently by Women of Spirit and other Prayer Vigil participants upon an array of fine, delicate fabrics. The diversity of the Divine Feminine was further invoked and represented by the two African and Native American spirit-guardians who stood 'front and center' during the entire Vigil.
