Me being a Native American half-breed , my entire apartment is my "Temple" and library. My actual Altar is a drum with a piece of glass over the drumhead to protect against wax drips , spilled wine , incense ashes and the like. My chalice and cauldron are both pottery made from clays found only on Tribal lands. I use an arrow as a Wand. I do all spoken parts of ritual in Tribal language. So thank you for this video. Binging on your channel
That is so fascinating! I love that you work with your roots and cultures in your practice 🧡✨ I feel with such a strong personal connection to your rituals and tools it lets you practice the craft on a whole other level ☺️
@@Thewitchescookery I have taken "Traditional" foods and worked the recipes into my Wheel of the Year celebrations. I took a skull shaped life sized clear glass bottle and filled it with dirt from Ancestral homelands and current Tribal Headquarters , and the Tribal Cultural Center along with cemetery dirt where some of my relatives are buried . I use it as a candle holder on my Altar for my "Power/Ancestor" candle. I also painted the bottle using acrylic paints. Right now my Coven consists of myself , husband , 2 nephews and their wives . Yeah , we are a little "unique" in the way we focus our Wiccan rituals through a Tribal filter.
I'm half on my mums side I have some on my dads side too I don't remember which Oma said I have German inside me and Welsh too so I like Nordic and Gaelic things too I love like what you said I do my spells in German and runes
im usng talk to txt so excuse my spelling but i have always herd stories of native blood when i was younger but was always told we didnt want to know the stories now since i no longer have living relitives that can tell the stories i have done dna and alot of research. surnames Lawson, Corn, Kirkham, Kirtley, Fields, Ward, Manis, smith, Banks, Richardson, Mccoy, Wells, baxley, Bayliss, tucker, bushyhead, corntassel, ect. family from virginia, tenn, north carolina, kentucky, ohio, ill, indiana. appalachia area some family may have been malungeon some family has african DNA aswell. but im so interested in my native history i have heard we have ansectors that were wolf, paint, wild potatoe, long hair, and dear clan have also heard shawnee, cherokee, and chataw. i also heard draging canoe was an ancestor i would love to learn the native language
Yeah love that. I'm glad that I caught on with the idea so quickly that u have to kind of make it your own. Any other way I think I would leave it behind, it must b a thing of my own making
For in the closet, or those that need to hide their practice. Chess, various pieces can represent different beings. It's two colors can represent duality, pawns are great representatives for elements. The tower is great for a defense talisman. I have even used a personal game of chess as a cover for a love spell. And the best part for those tight on money, you can get cheap chess boards.
This is an awesome tip!!! ❤️ Thank you for sharing that with us! Never thought of it that way but now that you are writing it - there are soooo many options there to use it!
Also- if you must practice discretely 🫥🤫, and may not have a permanent alter yet, the ideas of cloth/shoebox are great. I would only add that paper is infinitely helpful in this way too; a large sheet decorated with the symbols/sigils special to you may be folded & kept inside a book until safe for you. The suggestions of natural items are great when closeted- nobody is going to question why we have dried flowers, pretty rocks, or a special painting 🖼. 😉💋💋 Stay safe out there, be blessed! 🤓🤘🏽💋🔮⚖️
Thankyou! I am a minor living with my family, and they do not believe in the ways of witchcraft, so i struggle to find ways to do my practice without being obvious. I am a big fan of chess, so this is especially helpful for me.
As an old lady & lifetime thrifter, I’d like to say that the pre-loved items that “find you” are many times the best. My altars, shrines, and whatnot have evolved over time, organically, as these treasures have quietly arrived in my home. Mixed in with a few handcrafted tools (including my surprisingly powerful soul cards), nothing screams occult, yet my folk practice weaves throughout it all. I suggest letting things evolve naturally to nurture & support you.
I couldn't agree more! Most of my things are thrifted, found in nature or gifted and it is a wonderful collection of unique items that all have their own story. For me a lot of the magic already starts there ☺️✨
When I first started out with witchcraft, I felt it was extremely strict and you had to do it an exact way. But after watching your videos I realized that it's all about you and you can practice witchcraft at your own pace. Thank you so much ❤
This was so helpful, especially for secular or atheistic witchcraft. It can be difficult to find advice for that side of witchcraft. Thanks so much! ☺️
I am so glad you think so! And yes - a lot of the online creators seem to practice in a religious context. But there are more of us secular / atheistic / agnostic witches out there: Sedna Woo is great and also the sceptical witch ☺️🧡
My altar is in my bedroom. Mostly because there's this perfect alcove right above a built-in drawer set. But also because this is where I spend most of my time. I also have an aesthetic altar set up in my living room right next to my chair, but that's because I need something pretty in the room that keeps up my good mood when I'm in there. I also have a digital altar on my tumblr page that I visit daily for a pick me up when I'm feeling less than stellar.
A virtual altar is such a great idea! I never even thought of that! Thanks for mentioning it - I am sure that will give a lot of fellow witches inspiration ❤️☺️
This was exactly what I needed :) I grew up as an eclectic Wiccan - as eclectic as it was possible in 00's in Central Europe lol :D I'm reviding everything now and I'm tending more and more to witchy minimalism and some personal fusions. I'm temporary staying at my friends' flat due to renovation of my flat and I'm enjoying an altar which is not in a cupboard. It has some challenges though because my cat is drinking water from the cup... eh, chalice! :-D Thank you for kind and cheerful reminder to do stuff my way
Hihi I loved how you phrased that - the Wiccan books (there were no secular witchy books to be found here in the 90s and early 00s) I remember to be suuuuper hard-line, leaving no space for eclecticism at all 😃 luckily we now have more resources for information and inspiration! When will the renovations be finished at your place? Hope everything goes well ❤️ hihihi your spiritual cat 🐈
You are fast becoming my favourite youtuber!! I love this video- and agree, to hell with the "rules". I have two alttars, one in the main living area and one in my bedroom. I have a lot of items that are personal and I want to keep their energy clean from others, so perfect for my bedroom altar- it also is a self care and inner self worship sacred space. I would love you to make a video about house spirits, here in Scotland we call them Brownies, and we make an offering of chocolate or a sweet thing if we have lost ( stolen by a brownie) something. I think Dobby from the harry potter movie was a house elf- and I imagine you have similar in Germany- or Spain!
You are so sweet - thanks so much for this compliment ☺️❤️ this video idea has now already been requested a couple of time so I guess I have to get filming 😃 we do indeed have house spirits as well and I love me some folklore ✨🧡 much love
@@Thewitchescookery Very excited to hear your take on house spirits. I use a fairy door as a threshold for my house elf. We often leave some chocolate to look for house keys etc. Always works. I am a bit of a sceptic so at its simplest I think it is jolt, or permission to stop looking- who knows maybe fae!! An interesting video here th-cam.com/video/t-F0R0lNyD8/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=ElementalEncounters but I look forward to watching and sharing your video!!
My mother claimed to be not superstitious, but when she cut the top off an onion she would sometimes put it out on the back step for the Brownies. She said they would take them to use for hats. 😸
I drew an Oracle card yesterday, Sacred Space, so began building my Altar, it now contains my Oracle deck (Goddess Guidance), a tealight holder in the shape of Herb books, Emu feathers (from a farm, which has a lovely café, called The Cakehouse), so the feathers are a reminder and to represent Air. Also a jar filled with Lavender cut from our garden, for its calming properties ( I use for a wonderful relaxing bath and also Teas), in front of which I place my daily oracle card. When I woke this morning I felt drawn to go into the garden and pick some Ferns and Ivey, to drape around my Altar, this space feels so special now, I'm sure it will grow and change over time. Thank you Bex for the tips xxx
Seasonal altar is definitely my thing! I like the continuous changing of colours and objects! Lately I noticed I love dealing with my plants a lot ! 🌱🌿🌱🌿🌱🌿🌱🌿
I’m still very much a beginner in all this and I love love love your vids! So informed and non biased but really fun too! I guess I’m probably a green witch as I’ve almost subconsciously set up an altar at the top of my garden this year. I call it my healing garden and I’ve grown healing herbs and plants along with a little Buddha. I do a lot of grounding there and it’s really given me a sense of peace. My husband completely gets it so I’m very lucky 🤗 Thanks for your channel, it’s really great!
Oh you are swet - thank you for this kind comment. So glad you enjoy the videos! I love the term 'healing garden' - very green witchy ineed :D Wishing you and your understanding hubby a magical day 🌿🧡
Helloooo! @Joseph Rice. Raised Byzantine Catholic here 👋🏼 I always had a corner altar for the same reasons. I still incorporate many icons & the like in my practice. Great to meet another like minded witch.
I love the lack of rigid opinions and the relaxed vibe of your channel. So much information given in a funny and light hearted way, what a wonderful witch you are! 🥰🧙
I find it best to only gather what speaks to you, and acquire things along the way. You are quite right, There is no need to go and buy all new witchy things. It will be far more beautiful and meaningful in the long run to purchase only things you personally love. I’ve been gathering for over 40 years. Now and again I still pick up something I gravitate towards. My wand is a piece of driftwood from a vacation spot. It means Far more than a store bought one would. When it’s right you will know it.
Superb video for a newbie like myself who is searching for great information to get started. By the way, I enjoy listening to your accent. "Vitchcraft" and "Vicca". Outstanding!
Thanks so much for your honesty and down to earth chats . You make me feel that I’m doing it my way and that’s good enough . Love and light to you xxb🙏🧙🏻☘️
I am new to witchcraft and I am learning so much from you. I find myself drawn to nature, cooking/baking, and decorating my home. I am so glad I found your TH-cam page. I love your energy. ❤
I’m glad you made it home safely! Great video, as always. I break the rules. Not only is my altar in my bedroom, I also work from home in the same room. Oh, the horror. 😱 I don’t care. It’s actually my favourite spot in the entire house, and I just do a good cleansing if I’ve had a rough work day, and again before I go to bed. No big deal. If I wanted dogma and rules I’d convert to Christianity. It’s easier. 😉
What a rebel you are!!! 😱😂❤️ Absolutely agree - as long as you follow your gut and do what works for you, you will be golden! Rules are there to be questioned, sometimes challenged and some rules just exist to be broken hihi
I love that you included catholic relics as I am drawn to certain things as I was raised Catholic and still find some things call to me. I am also absolutely enchanted with your personality. =)
Thank you this is exactly the way i feel about my craft, i let free will in and 'feel' the process unfold. I add to my alter what feels right and it different each time...Bless you for showing our gentler side. We are so misunderstood x
I like how you mentioned some witches turn their entire home into an altar That's what I like to do. I haven't been able to have my own place for a while now due to injury that lead to disability, but I will get there again. I love having my craft, tools and such everywhere. Plants in as many places as I can fit and putting my whole heart into making my home my sanctuary I've had many comments from friends and family on how my home has always been cozy, comfortable and interesting😍
oh you just make my day! thank you. when i was young, i struggled with not doing it right. now i just do what feels good for my soul. I really appreciate the confirmation.
❤️☺️ doing what feels right is a great life motto to have too hihi it definitely makes one happy! It is such a shame that from little one most of us get thought to do 'what is expected / follow the rules'' Vs doing what comes naturally 💚✨
This is by far the best video I've seem regards to alters. I started practicing in my teens then got in a abusive relationship. So could not practice. Fast forward many years, and now in my 30s in divorced, and able to re do what I love most
Another great way to do a travel alter is an altoid tin! Thats what I used for so long living with family in the broom closet. You take a piece of paper cut for the bottom and draw sigils, manifestations etc, you can put little birthday candles for candle magick, keep a lighter in there, imagery, symbolism, etc, it's really fun tbh!
I just found this video…thank you so much! I always felt that I had to set up my alter in a specific way with specific items. I love this approach…spontaneous, personal and fun😁
Great video! I'd love to hear your perspective on being different from other people! Also on disconnect from media and being in your inner world! I'm a new subscriber from Italy and I recently found out the world of the modern witches... It's like coming home to a place a didn't know existed before!
So glad you like it!! ☺️ Also: welcome to the channel 💚 I totally understand what you say - I remember feeling the same when I first read about modern day witchcraft. It is such a wonderful, multilayered practice that just makes life more magickal ✨
I'm an art witch and I LOVE how you talk about its all up too you! I've always been a witch but when I was younger I felt so blocked or stunted? Because I was surrounded by media mostly books, telling me I had to do it this way, set up an altar this way, correspondence are this and that is that! If you don't do it this way and have not been initiated into a coven or order your not a REAL WITCH!!! After I started to realize that I have to do what feels good and right to me is what matters and I began to flourish!💜🌱
I am sooo glad you didnt mention Buddha or Ganesha! Sticking with witchcraft only is refreshing. I was born into Wicca and come from 400 years long line of them Polska. Modern day witches dont have a clue and should separate religion and spiritualism as it creates a cloud of unburnt karma and can clash. Blessed Be xo
You are back at home! 😆 I have three altars. One nature altar, one Cernunnos Altar and one ancestor altar. I love altar videos. So, I get a cup of tea and enjoy your brand new video. 😁
I aaaaam!!! And it is so wonderful to be back and we have really lovely late summer weather too 🧡☕✨🌻 I did put a little something for you in towards the end of the video 😃
@@Thewitchescookery Bex, this was awesome! Thank you so so much! I am speechless! 😢 Du bist echt ne Wucht! Danke! 🌱🌳💚 Und ja, dass war und ist sehr interessant für mich. 😊
@@Thewitchescookery Aus Berlin ist mir nichts derartiges bekannt, ehrlich gesagt. Aber ich finde es auch spannend, dass der paganistische Bezug in Bayern nie ganz verschwunden ist, wenn es um die Heiligenverehrung geht. Danke für deine informativen und dennoch sehr charmanten und amüsanten Videos. Du bist eine der besten Hexen auf TH-cam! Thank you very much! 👏😁 (I am a big fan of you 😊)
@@Cernunnos_83 Hi hi. I hope all is well. Bex recommended that i ask you about possible witchy things to do in Berlin. Im open to anything and will greatly appreciate whatever advice you have. I will be visiting in mid September. Have a good night
I really LOVE your videos. I am a baby witch and ive been very unsure of everything because everyone has a different opinion. But the thing that made it worse as the people saying that if you dont do it EXACTLY like this either terrible things will happen or some other thing... But you make it so simple to understand and you also make it very clear that it is up to personal preference :) It has really helped me in my research
I’m a satanist, I don’t practice rituals or worship, but having an altar is very personal to me. It’s my sacred safe space, I light nice scented candles to feel good and sit in front of my lovely baphomets and taxidermy- it’s a vibe- could say vibing with it is a ritual in itself.
Thank you so much for this!! I was so stressed out having to make sure mine looked like everyone else’s and making sure I had everything for the cardinal directions.
You are wonderful! Thank you so much for this video. After watching other videos I thought what felt right to me and brought me peace was ‘wrong’. Thank you so much for reminding me it is ok to be my witchy self!
I absolutely love you!. So glad I found your page, I defiantly have witch craft in my blood line, I am drawn to it for the wellness of myself, others and animals . I will learn so much from you xx
Thank you! I love the idea of a travel alter and using a piece of cloth to store items so much as someone who is simply learning about witchcraft and doesn't have a permanent space I can use in my small, shared apartment. Thank you for your wonderful advice and approach ☺️
I love this 💕! I have my altar set up in my room on the top surface of a small bookcase. I have A Hecate statue and I have a plant , shells, usually a vase with water and a flower 🌹, a candle , my crystals, florida water, tarot decks - it’s a patchwork quilt of an altar I guess 😅🌈💕
My craft is more of a earthy and animal kind of thing and since I'm an atheist/Agnostic I'm planning on making altars to honor animals I feel close connections to! I feel very close to crows and would love to make an altar for them! (I would put dried foods they eat, feathers, bones, trinkets, etc on the altar!)
Grew up Christian, went to Atheist, went to Agnostic, went to Wiccan, went to Christian, went to Pagan, went to Catholic, went to Agnostic, went to Pagan, settled on Pagan. I have been pagan for 12 years now.
Thank you so much! I have been flirting with witchcraft since I was a teen and now, as I become "a woman of a certain age", I am really feeling the pull. This is a great place to start and you have really helped me. I've always worried about doing it all "wrong" and accidentally summoning Beelzebub or something 😂🤣 I know I have witch blood in my veins and have been quietly going about the business of life with intent. Now it's time to step into my older woman power. ❤
Hello! New subscriber here! And beginner. So happy I found your channel! I’m so excited for this journey I’m on! Ever since I was a child Iv always felt a connection. The time is now! I feel more connected with herbs and crystals . I do have this amazing antique china hutch that I plan on turning into an alter type of space. Your tips have helped tremendously! And I just can’t wait to get started! Thank you so much!
I have altars all over my house. Main one for me is my bedroom next to the hearth. I love this one especially. I have a mini kitchen altar with a kitchen witch hanging nearby to guide me in the kitchen. I have others that come and go depending on need such a a small one for a sick friend or a family member that needs support. I have a permanent altar for my Mother and Father since they have passed on. I have a permanent prosperity altar near my bed on a lovely bookcase that contains my witchy books. Each is unique and meaningful to me. Thank you for your positive ways. I appreciate your smiles, fun, and honest ways of thinking and presenting all things witchy. love and Light to you and your family.
Thanks for your great videos. It was sooo funny when you mentioned your subscriber in Berlin, because even though I wasn’t meant (since you don’t know me), I automatically felt addressed, too. 😅 Because I am always astonished about the Bavarian cultural stuff - it almost seems as if we lived in two different countries. And I have to say that so far I loved all of your videos. Thanks again for your great content. ❤️
Hahah that is awesome! I don't know the other subscriber either but she always comments and her name is Cernunnos :D Luckily rural Bavaria is still holding on to a lot of old rural / catholic traditions - which is great if you are into pagan / witchy stuff. But of course Berlin has more of the modern-day merits hihi Sending much love up North 🧡
Because of my personal circumstances, my altar exists only in my mind. I needed to visualize it and day after day add "substance" an detail to it. It makes things a bit trickyer since imagination flickers, shifts and evolves by itself it seems but it also means it's free, sometimes surprising and I take it with me wherever I go. Still , I would love to eventually have a physical altar too.
I keep my altar in a curiosity cabinet to hold all my stuff and then do rituals around the side of my house. Love this! I keep a demon altar since I work with stuff like the Goetia and the lesser key of Solomon mostly.
I just found you totally by accident and I loved your message you are preaching individuality which is an awesome thing because everybody is an individual and should practice the way they see fit not with somebody tells them to now if they decide to follow up particular tradition that tells him to do it a certain way and they decide to do it that way that's fine but you should go with what feels right to you and that's what you're teaching and I love that awesome
My alter consists of statues of cats which represent my cats. I also have deer antlers and a deer candleholder. I have runes, incense and a statue of the triple goddess; maiden, mother and crone. Thank you for this wonderful video! I’m a new subscriber and I look forward to more videos!!
As a traditional witch we do have a ritual altar which is very specific but there are many kinds to add to your environment Outside altar with natural elements Also ancestral altar Some people who do chakra work I’ve seen each altar for each chakra
Fun witch tip! If you want an altar cloth or tarot cloth you can use a bandana or placemat (like those you put plates on at a dinning table) they are both cheaper typically than most altar cloths and you can still find a lot with different patterns n such for your own purposes!
My altar is set up on an antique little buffet table. My essentially change the decor corresponding with each Wiccan Sabbat. I'm bringing lots of natural items such as flowers and plants herbs and spices. I have four items made of brass that I always keep on the altar and they represent the four elements... Water is a chalice, a candlestick with a candle is fire, a little brass bell represents air and I have a brass bowl with seasonal dried herbs, flowers and nuts etc that represents Earth :) Each month I honor the full moon by lighting Jasmine incense on my altar and placing a little Moon goddess figure on it :)
My altar is a part of my bookshelf. It’s on the top shelf and it’s dedicated to all witchy books (non fiction and fiction) it also has my tarot and oracle cards and two electronic lights (that resemble candles). My altar is just dedicated to witches/pagans/wiccans, real and fiction ❤
I have a main altar, a kitchen and a garden altar at home. But I also have a travel altar which has saved my sanity in many cases when I a was out there in the world :D Oh, and my main altar is in my bedroom and I love it there! It is my most personal room where I can feel save to witch around. Once I get a garden I really want to have a garden altar with a fireplace too.
Wonderful! Basically a through and through magical house :D For me the bedroom is my sanctuary too - the most quiet place in the house. I hope you get your garden altar and a nice firepit soooon 😊🌼🧡
I have a small altar space in my kitchen with a few candles, a homemade olive oil lamp, and incense burner and a bowl of salt. I light the candles when I cook and do other chores for the family to remind myself to be intentional and to bring the sacred into my mundane tasks.
Just found you couple days ago. Kept paper handy for the "notes" I always take. But instead just watched in amazement your free and easy presentations that have me loving it and laughing alot. You are very interesting to listen to. You are in my top three favorites. (Annabelle Marsh the Green Witch- she helps to calm me. Terri Conroy- Danu Herb Garden - she connects me to my mother and ancestry, and now you, reminding me of the peace found in 'being' my own kind of witchy.) All three of you connect alot to the outdoors and gardens. Places that keep my heart going. Thanks for the enjoyment.
I enjoyed watching this video I just love how informative it was and positive about different altar setups. Me myself I'm a norse pagan and I work with the Aiesir and Vanir but I might of gained some knowledge from watching your video so that I may apply some positive intuition in my practice so thank you for helping other pagans/Heathens or hellonists or any practitioners build and learn.
My altar is on the second shelf of my bookshelf. My bookshelf is one of my most treasured places in my room. It’s an altar to Loki and I keep a candle burning in a candle holder as well as six battery operated tea lights on it for him. And the center piece is a plastic cauldron filled with cedar smudge sticks and a mini canvas painting of Loki’s Bind Rune. In front of that is a little circle of my cleansing and charging crystals with my pendulums in the middle.
Fantastic Video as always! I have a shelf in my kitchen where all things kitchen witch live and a small altar at my art desk affectionately called the "Inspiration Station." 😂
I only just realised today that I’ve actually put my altar together - without realising it. I’d grouped together some items that are precious to me - Triple Goddess statue; picture of my love; a tea light; some crystals; a wand and a wheat sheaf; a plant & a vase of flowers. My incense is on the table; my witchy books and journals on the shelf underneath. I think it’s done :)
I have several altars in my house. One for major workings and mediations. One for ancestors. One in my kitchen and one in my office to help with creativity. They've all gone through their seasons of bare minimum to over crowded.
I love your videos so much. You have the best energy and you make me smile. I wish I could hang out with you in real life. You're such a beautiful fun person! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us all.
Ahhhhh what a lovely comment 💕 thanks so much for these sweet words! I could definitely need more witchy friends in live hihi (incidentally I am currently filming a seeecret video, planning a little witchy gathering for everybody who wants to join and witch together 😄 maybe we get to hang out one day!)
I have seen elaborate and expensive altars, but they definitely do not have to be. Rocks, seashells, wood, water, from outside, are my preference. My book of shadows and journal are there. Sometimes I do crafts in a certain section. It varies and changes almost daily. I even use rinds and peelings for decoration and thanks. Dried grapefruit rinds filled with dirt, sand, or salt are great candle holders. Ideas and possibilities are endless. All have unique properties. Be intuitive and do you.
I prefer the natural altars too - in general working with things I have gathered rather then bought. I love that idea with the dried grapefruit rind - I will definitely give that a try - especially for Yule that would make such a cute decoration! And yeeeees 😍 intuition is everything!
I think you are the most magical and sweet human I've ever watched on social medias. No ritual is able to make me as happy as your videos do. Thank you :)
So far I have my Journal for my Magickal Journey and a figure of I character that I like who is a Magician that I'm trying to enchant in a secret draw in my room. I'm brand new, just started out on the Jan 1st of this year! I started because I wanted to learn how to do Hypersigils since I love writing.
My alter is my space for prayer and meditation.... it has candles, insence even tho my wife cant tolerate it burning so i have it out like flowers, crystals, shells, a few wands, a huge qyartz xluster, small spell jars, glass bowls with spells i am working on, a memorialtomymom..... and this space is ever changing. Its my favorite place in the whole house.
Me being a Native American half-breed , my entire apartment is my "Temple" and library. My actual Altar is a drum with a piece of glass over the drumhead to protect against wax drips , spilled wine , incense ashes and the like. My chalice and cauldron are both pottery made from clays found only on Tribal lands. I use an arrow as a Wand. I do all spoken parts of ritual in Tribal language. So thank you for this video.

That is so fascinating! I love that you work with your roots and cultures in your practice 🧡✨ I feel with such a strong personal connection to your rituals and tools it lets you practice the craft on a whole other level ☺️
@@Thewitchescookery I have taken "Traditional" foods and worked the recipes into my Wheel of the Year celebrations.

I use it as a candle holder on my Altar for my "Power/Ancestor" candle. I also painted the bottle using acrylic paints. Right now my Coven consists of myself , husband , 2 nephews and their wives .
Yeah , we are a little "unique" in the way we focus our Wiccan rituals through a Tribal filter.

im usng talk to txt so excuse my spelling but i have always herd stories of native blood when i was younger but was always told we didnt want to know the stories now since i no longer have living relitives that can tell the stories i have done dna and alot of research. surnames Lawson, Corn, Kirkham, Kirtley, Fields, Ward, Manis, smith, Banks, Richardson, Mccoy, Wells, baxley, Bayliss, tucker, bushyhead, corntassel, ect. family from virginia, tenn, north carolina, kentucky, ohio, ill, indiana. appalachia area some family may have been malungeon some family has african DNA aswell. but im so interested in my native history i have heard we have ansectors that were wolf, paint, wild potatoe, long hair, and dear clan have also heard shawnee, cherokee, and chataw. i also heard draging canoe was an ancestor i would love to learn the native language
Ooommmg Samme!! I'm full Native American and while I'm not as close to my roots yet I hope to learn more about my ancestors
Ooooh how I love that you are showing the openness in Witchcraft! “There is no room for authority in Witchcraft”. 😘
Yaiiih - I agree. It is empowering for every individual and doesn't need rules, leaders or control
Amen 😉
Yeah love that. I'm glad that I caught on with the idea so quickly that u have to kind of make it your own. Any other way I think I would leave it behind, it must b a thing of my own making
I love the creativity of it, it's very pleasing
Our Pantheon is full of guides, not police officers.
For in the closet, or those that need to hide their practice. Chess, various pieces can represent different beings. It's two colors can represent duality, pawns are great representatives for elements. The tower is great for a defense talisman. I have even used a personal game of chess as a cover for a love spell. And the best part for those tight on money, you can get cheap chess boards.
This is an awesome tip!!! ❤️ Thank you for sharing that with us! Never thought of it that way but now that you are writing it - there are soooo many options there to use it!
That is soooo cool! Thanks for sharing!
Also- if you must practice discretely 🫥🤫, and may not have a permanent alter yet, the ideas of cloth/shoebox are great. I would only add that paper is infinitely helpful in this way too; a large sheet decorated with the symbols/sigils special to you may be folded & kept inside a book until safe for you. The suggestions of natural items are great when closeted- nobody is going to question why we have dried flowers, pretty rocks, or a special painting 🖼. 😉💋💋
Stay safe out there, be blessed!

I couldn't agree more! Most of my things are thrifted, found in nature or gifted and it is a wonderful collection of unique items that all have their own story. For me a lot of the magic already starts there ☺️✨
When I first started out with witchcraft, I felt it was extremely strict and you had to do it an exact way. But after watching your videos I realized that it's all about you and you can practice witchcraft at your own pace. Thank you so much ❤
There are far too many witch gatekeepers who feel their way is the only way. There is no wrong way to be a witch.
You're my favorite "witchy" TH-camr. You always keep it real, and I enjoy that so much!
Ooooh staaaaahp - you make me blush 😃☺️ such a huge compliment - thanks so much, lovely ❤️
I second that. ❤️
♥️♥️♥️
I am muslim, i dont believe in mythologies but mythology altars look so beautiful
They should, because they are real with real magic
This was so helpful, especially for secular or atheistic witchcraft. It can be difficult to find advice for that side of witchcraft. Thanks so much! ☺️
I am so glad you think so! And yes - a lot of the online creators seem to practice in a religious context. But there are more of us secular / atheistic / agnostic witches out there: Sedna Woo is great and also the sceptical witch ☺️🧡
r/sasswitches also is a great forum to be in for that
🤓🤘🏽💋🔮⚖️
My altar is in my bedroom. Mostly because there's this perfect alcove right above a built-in drawer set. But also because this is where I spend most of my time. I also have an aesthetic altar set up in my living room right next to my chair, but that's because I need something pretty in the room that keeps up my good mood when I'm in there. I also have a digital altar on my tumblr page that I visit daily for a pick me up when I'm feeling less than stellar.
A virtual altar is such a great idea! I never even thought of that! Thanks for mentioning it - I am sure that will give a lot of fellow witches inspiration ❤️☺️
Literally spit out my tea from laughing and “furry demons and crotch goblins”. 🤣😂🤣
😂 hihi so sorry
This was exactly what I needed :) I grew up as an eclectic Wiccan - as eclectic as it was possible in 00's in Central Europe lol :D I'm reviding everything now and I'm tending more and more to witchy minimalism and some personal fusions. I'm temporary staying at my friends' flat due to renovation of my flat and I'm enjoying an altar which is not in a cupboard. It has some challenges though because my cat is drinking water from the cup... eh, chalice! :-D
Thank you for kind and cheerful reminder to do stuff my way
Hihi I loved how you phrased that - the Wiccan books (there were no secular witchy books to be found here in the 90s and early 00s) I remember to be suuuuper hard-line, leaving no space for eclecticism at all 😃 luckily we now have more resources for information and inspiration! When will the renovations be finished at your place? Hope everything goes well ❤️ hihihi your spiritual cat 🐈
You are fast becoming my favourite youtuber!! I love this video- and agree, to hell with the "rules". I have two alttars, one in the main living area and one in my bedroom. I have a lot of items that are personal and I want to keep their energy clean from others, so perfect for my bedroom altar- it also is a self care and inner self worship sacred space. I would love you to make a video about house spirits, here in Scotland we call them Brownies, and we make an offering of chocolate or a sweet thing if we have lost ( stolen by a brownie) something. I think Dobby from the harry potter movie was a house elf- and I imagine you have similar in Germany- or Spain!
You are so sweet - thanks so much for this compliment ☺️❤️ this video idea has now already been requested a couple of time so I guess I have to get filming 😃 we do indeed have house spirits as well and I love me some folklore ✨🧡 much love
riiiiight?!! :)
@@Thewitchescookery Very excited to hear your take on house spirits. I use a fairy door as a threshold for my house elf. We often leave some chocolate to look for house keys etc. Always works. I am a bit of a sceptic so at its simplest I think it is jolt, or permission to stop looking- who knows maybe fae!! An interesting video here th-cam.com/video/t-F0R0lNyD8/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=ElementalEncounters but I look forward to watching and sharing your video!!
My mother claimed to be not superstitious, but when she cut the top off an onion she would sometimes put it out on the back step for the Brownies. She said they would take them to use for hats. 😸
I drew an Oracle card yesterday, Sacred Space, so began building my Altar, it now contains my Oracle deck (Goddess Guidance), a tealight holder in the shape of Herb books, Emu feathers (from a farm, which has a lovely café, called The Cakehouse), so the feathers are a reminder and to represent Air. Also a jar filled with Lavender cut from our garden, for its calming properties ( I use for a wonderful relaxing bath and also Teas), in front of which I place my daily oracle card. When I woke this morning I felt drawn to go into the garden and pick some Ferns and Ivey, to drape around my Altar, this space feels so special now, I'm sure it will grow and change over time. Thank you Bex for the tips xxx
Seasonal altar is definitely my thing! I like the continuous changing of colours and objects! Lately I noticed I love dealing with my plants a lot ! 🌱🌿🌱🌿🌱🌿🌱🌿
I’m still very much a beginner in all this and I love love love your vids! So informed and non biased but really fun too! I guess I’m probably a green witch as I’ve almost subconsciously set up an altar at the top of my garden this year. I call it my healing garden and I’ve grown healing herbs and plants along with a little Buddha. I do a lot of grounding there and it’s really given me a sense of peace. My husband completely gets it so I’m very lucky 🤗 Thanks for your channel, it’s really great!
Oh you are swet - thank you for this kind comment. So glad you enjoy the videos! I love the term 'healing garden' - very green witchy ineed :D Wishing you and your understanding hubby a magical day 🌿🧡
This was grear. I always had an altar as an Orthodox Christian but have yet to develop one for my witchy practices. LOTS of good ideas here!
So glad you think so! It is so fun to set up your altar and let it naturally develop into your personal sacred space with time 💚
Hi from another Christian Witch 🖤
Helloooo! @Joseph Rice. Raised Byzantine Catholic here 👋🏼 I always had a corner altar for the same reasons. I still incorporate many icons & the like in my practice. Great to meet another like minded witch.
I love how you simply incorporate your magic into your everyday life the way you do. Your always giving me such inspiration! :D
That makes me so happy to hear that you get inspiration out of it ❤️
You are utterly delightful! Can't wait to watch more of your videos!
I love the lack of rigid opinions and the relaxed vibe of your channel. So much information given in a funny and light hearted way, what a wonderful witch you are! 🥰🧙
I find it best to only gather what speaks to you, and acquire things along the way. You are quite right, There is no need to go and buy all new witchy things. It will be far more beautiful and meaningful in the long run to purchase only things you personally love. I’ve been gathering for over 40 years. Now and again I still pick up something I gravitate towards. My wand is a piece of driftwood from a vacation spot. It means Far more than a store bought one would. When it’s right you will know it.
Superb video for a newbie like myself who is searching for great information to get started. By the way, I enjoy listening to your accent. "Vitchcraft" and "Vicca". Outstanding!
Thanks so much for your honesty and down to earth chats . You make me feel that I’m doing it my way and that’s good enough . Love and light to you xxb🙏🧙🏻☘️
I am new to witchcraft and I am learning so much from you. I find myself drawn to nature, cooking/baking, and decorating my home. I am so glad I found your TH-cam page. I love your energy. ❤
I’m glad you made it home safely! Great video, as always. I break the rules. Not only is my altar in my bedroom, I also work from home in the same room. Oh, the horror. 😱 I don’t care. It’s actually my favourite spot in the entire house, and I just do a good cleansing if I’ve had a rough work day, and again before I go to bed. No big deal. If I wanted dogma and rules I’d convert to Christianity. It’s easier. 😉
What a rebel you are!!! 😱😂❤️ Absolutely agree - as long as you follow your gut and do what works for you, you will be golden! Rules are there to be questioned, sometimes challenged and some rules just exist to be broken hihi
I love that you included catholic relics as I am drawn to certain things as I was raised Catholic and still find some things call to me. I am also absolutely enchanted with your personality. =)
Thank you this is exactly the way i feel about my craft, i let free will in and 'feel' the process unfold. I add to my alter what feels right and it different each time...Bless you for showing our gentler side. We are so misunderstood x
I like how you mentioned some witches turn their entire home into an altar
That's what I like to do. I haven't been able to have my own place for a while now due to injury that lead to disability, but I will get there again.
I love having my craft, tools and such everywhere. Plants in as many places as I can fit and putting my whole heart into making my home my sanctuary
I've had many comments from friends and family on how my home has always been cozy, comfortable and interesting😍
oh you just make my day!
thank you. when i was young, i struggled with not doing it right. now i just do what feels good for my soul. I really appreciate the confirmation.
❤️☺️ doing what feels right is a great life motto to have too hihi it definitely makes one happy! It is such a shame that from little one most of us get thought to do 'what is expected / follow the rules'' Vs doing what comes naturally 💚✨
This is by far the best video I've seem regards to alters. I started practicing in my teens then got in a abusive relationship. So could not practice. Fast forward many years, and now in my 30s in divorced, and able to re do what I love most
Another great way to do a travel alter is an altoid tin! Thats what I used for so long living with family in the broom closet. You take a piece of paper cut for the bottom and draw sigils, manifestations etc, you can put little birthday candles for candle magick, keep a lighter in there, imagery, symbolism, etc, it's really fun tbh!
I just found this video…thank you so much! I always felt that I had to set up my alter in a specific way with specific items. I love this approach…spontaneous, personal and fun😁
Great video! I'd love to hear your perspective on being different from other people! Also on disconnect from media and being in your inner world! I'm a new subscriber from Italy and I recently found out the world of the modern witches... It's like coming home to a place a didn't know existed before!
So glad you like it!! ☺️ Also: welcome to the channel 💚 I totally understand what you say - I remember feeling the same when I first read about modern day witchcraft. It is such a wonderful, multilayered practice that just makes life more magickal ✨
I love your live and let live attitude!
So happy to hear that! I think the world could be a better place if more people adopted that mantra 😃🧡
I'm an art witch and I LOVE how you talk about its all up too you! I've always been a witch but when I was younger I felt so blocked or stunted? Because I was surrounded by media mostly books, telling me I had to do it this way, set up an altar this way, correspondence are this and that is that! If you don't do it this way and have not been initiated into a coven or order your not a REAL WITCH!!!
After I started to realize that I have to do what feels good and right to me is what matters and I began to flourish!💜🌱
Thank you for another wonderful video! I got to enjoy it with my coffee after a lovely morning walk. 😌
Thank you for your comment! It sounds like you had a wonderful, relaxed morning ☕🧡
I am sooo glad you didnt mention Buddha or Ganesha! Sticking with witchcraft only is refreshing. I was born into Wicca and come from 400 years long line of them Polska. Modern day witches dont have a clue and should separate religion and spiritualism as it creates a cloud of unburnt karma and can clash. Blessed Be xo
You are back at home! 😆 I have three altars. One nature altar, one Cernunnos Altar and one ancestor altar. I love altar videos. So, I get a cup of tea and enjoy your brand new video. 😁
I aaaaam!!! And it is so wonderful to be back and we have really lovely late summer weather too 🧡☕✨🌻 I did put a little something for you in towards the end of the video 😃
@@Thewitchescookery Bex, this was awesome! Thank you so so much! I am speechless! 😢 Du bist echt ne Wucht! Danke! 🌱🌳💚 Und ja, dass war und ist sehr interessant für mich. 😊
Freut mich! Ich wusste nicht ob du das schon weißt, aber ich hab mir gedacht, dass die Heiligenverehrung in Bayern eher üblich ist als in Berlin 😃
@@Thewitchescookery Aus Berlin ist mir nichts derartiges bekannt, ehrlich gesagt. Aber ich finde es auch spannend, dass der paganistische Bezug in Bayern nie ganz verschwunden ist, wenn es um die Heiligenverehrung geht.
Danke für deine informativen und dennoch sehr charmanten und amüsanten Videos. Du bist eine der besten Hexen auf TH-cam! Thank you very much! 👏😁 (I am a big fan of you 😊)
@@Cernunnos_83 Hi hi.
I hope all is well. Bex recommended that i ask you about possible witchy things to do in Berlin. Im open to anything and will greatly appreciate whatever advice you have. I will be visiting in mid September. Have a good night
I really LOVE your videos. I am a baby witch and ive been very unsure of everything because everyone has a different opinion. But the thing that made it worse as the people saying that if you dont do it EXACTLY like this either terrible things will happen or some other thing... But you make it so simple to understand and you also make it very clear that it is up to personal preference :) It has really helped me in my research
I’m so excited to see this video!! I do not buy into the very strict rules. My home is an altar.
So happy to hear you share my views ☺️ my home is my sacred space too ✨
I’m a satanist, I don’t practice rituals or worship, but having an altar is very personal to me.
It’s my sacred safe space, I light nice scented candles to feel good and sit in front of my lovely baphomets and taxidermy- it’s a vibe- could say vibing with it is a ritual in itself.
Thank you so much for this!! I was so stressed out having to make sure mine looked like everyone else’s and making sure I had everything for the cardinal directions.
Oh so happy this helped you see things a bit less strict! Hope your altar turns out exactly how you envision it 🤗💖
You’re awesome, Becks! 🍂🍁
You are sweet ☺️🧡
You are wonderful! Thank you so much for this video. After watching other videos I thought what felt right to me and brought me peace was ‘wrong’. Thank you so much for reminding me it is ok to be my witchy self!
I absolutely love you!. So glad I found your page, I defiantly have witch craft in my blood line, I am drawn to it for the wellness of myself, others and animals . I will learn so much from you xx
My altar areas are very much part of my "decor" The one in my room is a set of 3 shelves behind my desk where I work all day 😁
I love decorative altars - they bring in such a happy energy! I definitely need to give my work space a bit of magical spark too!!
*ALTAR
@@CorpseBride64 super sorry my phone auto corrected a word. I'll go correct it even though we all know what I meant 🥰 blessed be.
Thank you! I love the idea of a travel alter and using a piece of cloth to store items so much as someone who is simply learning about witchcraft and doesn't have a permanent space I can use in my small, shared apartment. Thank you for your wonderful advice and approach ☺️
You are so awesome for letting us have options
It is not up to me 😄🧡 you make your own rules and do what feels right to you
Thank you for being so real.
I love this 💕! I have my altar set up in my room on the top surface of a small bookcase. I have A Hecate statue and I have a plant , shells, usually a vase with water and a flower 🌹, a candle , my crystals, florida water, tarot decks - it’s a patchwork quilt of an altar I guess 😅🌈💕
My craft is more of a earthy and animal kind of thing and since I'm an atheist/Agnostic I'm planning on making altars to honor animals I feel close connections to! I feel very close to crows and would love to make an altar for them! (I would put dried foods they eat, feathers, bones, trinkets, etc on the altar!)
Grew up Christian, went to Atheist, went to Agnostic, went to Wiccan, went to Christian, went to Pagan, went to Catholic, went to Agnostic, went to Pagan, settled on Pagan. I have been pagan for 12 years now.
What a wild ride 😄 So glad you found a place you are happy at now!
What a pretty and cozy room. Lovely.
Thank you so much! I have been flirting with witchcraft since I was a teen and now, as I become "a woman of a certain age", I am really feeling the pull.
This is a great place to start and you have really helped me. I've always worried about doing it all "wrong" and accidentally summoning Beelzebub or something 😂🤣
I know I have witch blood in my veins and have been quietly going about the business of life with intent. Now it's time to step into my older woman power. ❤
Hello! New subscriber here! And beginner. So happy I found your channel! I’m so excited for this journey I’m on! Ever since I was a child Iv always felt a connection. The time is now! I feel more connected with herbs and crystals . I do have this amazing antique china hutch that I plan on turning into an alter type of space. Your tips have helped tremendously! And I just can’t wait to get started! Thank you so much!
Okay the informaron was great - but your personality!!! I so enjoyed listening, chuckling, nodding my head.
I have altars all over my house. Main one for me is my bedroom next to the hearth. I love this one especially. I have a mini kitchen altar with a kitchen witch hanging nearby to guide me in the kitchen. I have others that come and go depending on need such a a small one for a sick friend or a family member that needs support. I have a permanent altar for my Mother and Father since they have passed on. I have a permanent prosperity altar near my bed on a lovely bookcase that contains my witchy books. Each is unique and meaningful to me. Thank you for your positive ways. I appreciate your smiles, fun, and honest ways of thinking and presenting all things witchy. love and Light to you and your family.
Thanks for your great videos. It was sooo funny when you mentioned your subscriber in Berlin, because even though I wasn’t meant (since you don’t know me), I automatically felt addressed, too. 😅 Because I am always astonished about the Bavarian cultural stuff - it almost seems as if we lived in two different countries. And I have to say that so far I loved all of your videos. Thanks again for your great content. ❤️
Hahah that is awesome! I don't know the other subscriber either but she always comments and her name is Cernunnos :D Luckily rural Bavaria is still holding on to a lot of old rural / catholic traditions - which is great if you are into pagan / witchy stuff. But of course Berlin has more of the modern-day merits hihi Sending much love up North 🧡
My altar displays all the things I've picked up over the years that I think look good and make me feel good
Because of my personal circumstances, my altar exists only in my mind. I needed to visualize it and day after day add "substance" an detail to it. It makes things a bit trickyer since imagination flickers, shifts and evolves by itself it seems but it also means it's free, sometimes surprising and I take it with me wherever I go. Still , I would love to eventually have a physical altar too.
I keep my altar in a curiosity cabinet to hold all my stuff and then do rituals around the side of my house. Love this! I keep a demon altar since I work with stuff like the Goetia and the lesser key of Solomon mostly.
I just found you totally by accident and I loved your message you are preaching individuality which is an awesome thing because everybody is an individual and should practice the way they see fit not with somebody tells them to now if they decide to follow up particular tradition that tells him to do it a certain way and they decide to do it that way that's fine but you should go with what feels right to you and that's what you're teaching and I love that awesome
Absolutely agree with you here! Witchcraft is about personal empowerment and finding your individual voice and ways ☺️🧡
I have been watching your videos for 2 years now and I JUST NOW realized i wasn't subscribed 😭😭😭. I hit that button with a quickness!
Excellent! 🥰
☺️❤️
My alter consists of statues of cats which represent my cats. I also have deer antlers and a deer candleholder. I have runes, incense and a statue of the triple goddess; maiden, mother and crone.
Thank you for this wonderful video! I’m a new subscriber and I look forward to more videos!!
As a traditional witch we do have a ritual altar which is very specific but there are many kinds to add to your environment Outside altar with natural elements Also ancestral altar Some people who do chakra work I’ve seen each altar for each chakra
I have multiple altars for different purposes, but I like what another watcher said here, my home is my temple/sacred space.
I absolutely love your message
Fun witch tip! If you want an altar cloth or tarot cloth you can use a bandana or placemat (like those you put plates on at a dinning table) they are both cheaper typically than most altar cloths and you can still find a lot with different patterns n such for your own purposes!
My altar is set up on an antique little buffet table. My essentially change the decor corresponding with each Wiccan Sabbat. I'm bringing lots of natural items such as flowers and plants herbs and spices. I have four items made of brass that I always keep on the altar and they represent the four elements... Water is a chalice, a candlestick with a candle is fire, a little brass bell represents air and I have a brass bowl with seasonal dried herbs, flowers and nuts etc that represents Earth :)
Each month I honor the full moon by lighting Jasmine incense on my altar and placing a little Moon goddess figure on it :)
I’m so happy to find tip for us who aren’t wiccan🍁
My altar is a part of my bookshelf. It’s on the top shelf and it’s dedicated to all witchy books (non fiction and fiction) it also has my tarot and oracle cards and two electronic lights (that resemble candles). My altar is just dedicated to witches/pagans/wiccans, real and fiction ❤
I have a main altar, a kitchen and a garden altar at home. But I also have a travel altar which has saved my sanity in many cases when I a was out there in the world :D Oh, and my main altar is in my bedroom and I love it there! It is my most personal room where I can feel save to witch around. Once I get a garden I really want to have a garden altar with a fireplace too.
Wonderful! Basically a through and through magical house :D For me the bedroom is my sanctuary too - the most quiet place in the house. I hope you get your garden altar and a nice firepit soooon 😊🌼🧡
@@Thewitchescookery I love me my magical hous
Oh, I see I wrote garden altar twice. The first one was meant to say 'balcony altar'. I really don't have a garden yet. Upsi :D
Every witch / artist does their own things alters can be what ever you want them to be I liked the live and let live part ^^
100% agreed ❤️☺️👏👏👏
I really like how laid-back you are. You seem really sweet and I adore your accent! 💜
Setting up a Pan and Demeter altar to celebrate the coming of spring :)
I love your energy!💕. Subscribed just because of your wonderful energy. Cassie, O&B, guided me here😇
Welcome to the channel, lovely ☺️🌻 I do hope you enjoy what you find! And thank you for this sweet comment!
I have a small altar space in my kitchen with a few candles, a homemade olive oil lamp, and incense burner and a bowl of salt. I light the candles when I cook and do other chores for the family to remind myself to be intentional and to bring the sacred into my mundane tasks.
Just found you couple days ago. Kept paper handy for the "notes" I always take. But instead just watched in amazement your free and easy presentations that have me loving it and laughing alot. You are very interesting to listen to. You are in my top three favorites. (Annabelle Marsh the Green Witch- she helps to calm me. Terri Conroy- Danu Herb Garden - she connects me to my mother and ancestry, and now you, reminding me of the peace found in 'being' my own kind of witchy.) All three of you connect alot to the outdoors and gardens. Places that keep my heart going.
Thanks for the enjoyment.
I enjoyed watching this video I just love how informative it was and positive about different altar setups. Me myself I'm a norse pagan and I work with the Aiesir and Vanir but I might of gained some knowledge from watching your video so that I may apply some positive intuition in my practice so thank you for helping other pagans/Heathens or hellonists or any practitioners build and learn.
My altar is on the second shelf of my bookshelf. My bookshelf is one of my most treasured places in my room. It’s an altar to Loki and I keep a candle burning in a candle holder as well as six battery operated tea lights on it for him. And the center piece is a plastic cauldron filled with cedar smudge sticks and a mini canvas painting of Loki’s Bind Rune. In front of that is a little circle of my cleansing and charging crystals with my pendulums in the middle.
Fantastic Video as always! I have a shelf in my kitchen where all things kitchen witch live and a small altar at my art desk affectionately called the "Inspiration Station." 😂
Thanks so much, lovely ❤️ hahah I absolutely adore the name!!!!
I only just realised today that I’ve actually put my altar together - without realising it. I’d grouped together some items that are precious to me - Triple Goddess statue; picture of my love; a tea light; some crystals; a wand and a wheat sheaf; a plant & a vase of flowers. My incense is on the table; my witchy books and journals on the shelf underneath. I think it’s done :)
I just realized I have alters all over my room without even intending to do so 😂. I'm glad I'm starting my journey.
What a lovely video with wonderful Energy ❤
I have several altars in my house. One for major workings and mediations. One for ancestors. One in my kitchen and one in my office to help with creativity. They've all gone through their seasons of bare minimum to over crowded.
I love your videos so much. You have the best energy and you make me smile. I wish I could hang out with you in real life. You're such a beautiful fun person! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us all.
Ahhhhh what a lovely comment 💕 thanks so much for these sweet words! I could definitely need more witchy friends in live hihi (incidentally I am currently filming a seeecret video, planning a little witchy gathering for everybody who wants to join and witch together 😄 maybe we get to hang out one day!)
Perfect timing! I love your videos with my coffee!!
Hihi great timing indeed! Enjoy your coffee - I'm just sitting down with a cup myself 😃☕✨
Your energy is so encouraging, inspiring, and positive. This video was so refreshing and helpful! Thank you. 😊
Nice to meet you, I am a Brazilian natural Brujo and I loved your video.
Thank you. Blessed be.
I love the Gaia statue
I have seen elaborate and expensive altars, but they definitely do not have to be. Rocks, seashells, wood, water, from outside, are my preference.
My book of shadows and journal are there. Sometimes I do crafts in a certain section. It varies and changes almost daily.
I even use rinds and peelings for decoration and thanks. Dried grapefruit rinds filled with dirt, sand, or salt are great candle holders.
Ideas and possibilities are endless. All have unique properties. Be intuitive and do you.
I prefer the natural altars too - in general working with things I have gathered rather then bought. I love that idea with the dried grapefruit rind - I will definitely give that a try - especially for Yule that would make such a cute decoration! And yeeeees 😍 intuition is everything!
I think you are the most magical and sweet human I've ever watched on social medias. No ritual is able to make me as happy as your videos do. Thank you :)
Awwwww that is such a kind and sweet comment ❤️🧡 thanks so much for brightening my day!
So far I have my Journal for my Magickal Journey and a figure of I character that I like who is a Magician that I'm trying to enchant in a secret draw in my room. I'm brand new, just started out on the Jan 1st of this year! I started because I wanted to learn how to do Hypersigils since I love writing.
Thank you soo much! I just began my journey and this was helpful. Blessings.
My alter is my space for prayer and meditation.... it has candles, insence even tho my wife cant tolerate it burning so i have it out like flowers, crystals, shells, a few wands, a huge qyartz xluster, small spell jars, glass bowls with spells i am working on, a memorialtomymom..... and this space is ever changing. Its my favorite place in the whole house.
Omg I love your silliness
A magikal video- so helpful to many & pleased to have discovered another earth practitioner such as yourself. Blessings from Massachusetts USA
Thank you for being so peppy. 😊
I’m so happy so see a video about non Wiccan altars
My dear, you are wonderful. You have really opened my eyes. Your timing is fortuitous, but heartily welcomed. Thank you so much.
