I think, more or less, Ra was referring to what we might call "totems" or "idols" in just about any sense. The Creator is in all things, and Love is in all things, so broadly speaking, if someone looks at an object and sees Love or the Creator, then it can be worshiped as such. I see it as largely being about learning to see Love as Energy/Force, and understanding more deeply how the universe emerges from the Love of Intelligent Infinity.
I remember at one point Ra even recommended looking at things in everyday life and seeing then as The Creator, as an awareness-building exercise.
But basically, if someone wanted to take a spoon and turn it into their focus for Love, and learn to Love the Creator-as-Spoon as intently as they can, that would be as real or valid as a believer loving the Buddha or Jesus or their inner goddess or whoever. Anything can be a link to the Creator, if someone wants it to be.
