I keep all my spell and cone incense remnants in the cauldron, and when I have enough ashes/dust, I add some Himalyan salt to it, and mix well with a mortar and pestle and I create black salt out of it. I usually make sure that when I'm close to having enough that I light up a charcoal block and burn some special incense I made that is full of protection herbs to make sure the protection vibe is strong. Then, I like to lay the black salt near the thresholds of entrance to my house and yard. I usually get enough ashes to make black salt about twice a year. :)
Do you think a person could use white sand instead of salt?
I love love love your videos! Hel is my Matron Deity also, and I had to share with you what I made to represent her on my altar 💕 but I don't see where I can post a picture here... Stay you forever please! Such inspiration ❤️
I have the same wizard of Oz tin!I've always stored my weed in it:)
Good old basic for the everyday witch ,100- pack of tea lights
Thank you for sharing such a personal space of yours. I am struggling with whether I need an inside alter. I appreciate that you explain that it isn't necessary 😊. I really want something more of a garden alter, I've had them before & I really connect with them, so I can't wait for Spring. Laying up stuff atm.
You mention your bf, my husband, though not really very witchy, is very helpful in assisting me with the 'mundane' parts of the gathering. I have jokingly claimed him as my familiar, which he loves 😊, his Taurus personality vibes very heavily with that, while my charge ahead Aries spirit just wants to have it ready to dive into.
Just yesterday he went on a buying trip for new essentials & while I was washing glass jars to fill, I opened the door to him standing there completely engulfed in 'fresh' roses tossed from last Valentine's day. I asked him to pick up a bag of dried rose petals & he went above & beyond pulling these from the bin out back of the store when the manager told him he could have all of them if he wanted since he had just tossed them (in the winter of the midwest no less). I then trimmed them to use the stems to weave for the garden, & the leaves to write on or mulch & he strung the masses to dry in the basement & painstakingly layed any fallen petals to dry on a long table (again-Taurus). It was such a loving & devoted project for him to do.
I am so happy & waiting for this new moon to charge some water 😊
Blessings to all 💟
so glad you shared your altar! I looks so different from mine, but I like how you do somethings.
What a pleasure! Thanks so much for sharing.
kelly-ann, this is the first video of yours that i've seen, and i loved your channel since ! i'm currently revisiting this classic while setting up my new altar
Thank you Ms. Kelly-Ann. I loved your share.
I'll be forever grateful for this video.
I love that painting of Hel! Btw I found the person who made it, her name is Anna Novikova
DIRTYR0SES, Thank you for finding that! 💜
Hermoso, y funcional. Tu altar ceremonial es una coneccion completa a tu espiritu independiente y artistico. Gracias por compatir con nosotros una parte de tu alma magica y espiritual!!!! Gracias Amiga magica...
I've watched this video three times already since last night, because it's so rich, there's soooo much wonderful stuff to take in. So much inspiration
I love the doll parts. My 6 year-old has a sacred space (well.. it looks like it to me, haha!) and she's got those doll heads goin.. I LOVE those arms. Thank you for the inspiration!
I have watched this video 3x's, and I think it's amazing! I love that you keep your spell remnants in a jar and dispose of them separately and have storm water and on your altar. I have some shamanic training and have kept an altar for a few years but never really used it much. It was suggested that we cover our altars to keep the energy in - the problem with that is that I didn't see it or place precious objects on it that were a part of my daily life. I have moved it to a more visible place and it is now uncovered. I can already see and feel a difference and I have been using it daily. Thanks for sharing!
I love the fact that you have Siouxsie Sioux in your Altar 🖤
Would love to see more on how you work with dolls and yes please to a vid on making poppets. Thanks for sharing I love the balance and freedom you have on your alter. Awesome!
Inspiring. I enjoyed seeing the antique dolls, as I have one and she is fragile and magical. She has lost a great deal of hair, so I think she needs to go to the doll hospital. There used to be a woman who repaired old dolls, but she is no longer doing this type of work. I am searching for someone who can fix her hair. Anyway, I am rambling. Appreciate you sharing your sacred space. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing your altar with us. It's beautiful. By the way, I don't know if someone has mentioned it yet, but the artist of that piece is Anna Novikova, it just came across my tumblr dashboard tonight!
Beautiful space!! Thanks for sharing :)
Thank you for sharing your sacred space with us. You have inspired me to maybe sharing my space. You are a beautiful amazing woman. Blessed be. :)
+ashleyvampireheart So much love, babe - thanks for watching! Remember that you don't have to share everything if you don't feel called to that. Share what you want to, share what you can. x
+Kelly-Ann Maddox Thank you, and yes, no plans to get too personal. Just an over-all. ;) If I went into every detail It would be like giving a life story. lol
I love that you use siouxsie in your practice, she is such a bad ass. I would love to use her for chaos work. by the way you seem like such a rad person, thanks for making these videos.
You're a doll! Crazy good altar...love you Kelly-Ann
I had a huge spiritual revalation whilst watching this. An awesome video and really interesting altar space :D
So amazing video. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much for sharing your sacred space with us. I'm feeling very inspired to jazz mine up! Love it. And that crystal ball holder is just adorable X
Thank you for sharing! I learned so much! Beautiful alter!
Beautiful thanks for sharing. ❤
Nothing but epic, Kelly!
My new life goal is to one day meet Bernadette! SHE"S SUCH A VIBE!!! Also, that nun doll was so freaky in the best way
Love this video and love your style. Thanks so much for sharing! :D
Thank you so much! Gave me lots of ideas to explore :)
Soooooooo much fun to watch! Thank you for sharing! It was a real treat while I lie on my sofa nursing a crappy headache. Great distraction from my pain. I appreciate your candid share xoxo
thank you so much for your sharing your sacred space with us!
I'm definitely one to have a cluttered altar, I'm getting better at it though :)
Also the artist for the Hel art is Anna Novikova.
Thank you for sharing. I loved it!!
Rocking altar space. I love my altar and your energy is incredibly beautiful while you were showing your sacred space. Blessed be
Inspiring. Thank you for showing us your sacred space! And what is that music? It's totally hypnotizing.
Would you be so kind as to recommend good reading material on making poppets, please? I truly enjoyed this reveal of your altar space. Thank you for sharing and for being so very candid.
Amazing!!!
I Love that youve started to put music at the end of the vids! Love it. Beautiful sacred space.
Thank you for sharing your space. I've never thought of an alter with built in storage. Currently the top of my dresser is my alter and I'm desperately running out of space.
you are my favorite youtuber!!!!!!
Oooo, that skull tealight holder.... 'tis a lovely thing!
Irish Mexican - Full of fire and Spit! Amen
a la Anthony Quinn.
Gorgeous video. The dolls!!! x
Beautiful! Every time I've seen flat perfectly circular crystals, I am reminded of you and your videos! haha I'm always inspired to have an alter when I see alter videos, but when I go to make them, I feel like a tool...not sure what that's about, but I still enjoy nonetheless.
I have the same kind of dolls as your Mary Queen of Scots, I have an Elizabeth I, and a couple of Henry's wives, I was very obsessed with the Tudor women and I've been to Heaver twice.... just love it there... enjoyed your vid so much. x
+Sam Wright I am similarly obsessed with Tudor women and the history.. Soooo into it! My sister and I would have full on debates about Henry's wives as kids, and we would compete with each other on how many facts we could remember about each of them! Anne Boleyn was always my fave - I wanted the 'B' necklace with the teardrop pearls.. My sister loved Jane Seymour.
The women are sooo much more interesting then the stupid men aren't they? When my sister was alive we would exchange Tudor stories, I went to Heaver with her before she got too ill and it holds so many special memories, I bought a B necklace from the shop but it broke the first time I put it on, I want one from etsy...its so fun when someone you admire likes the same things as you do x
rad vid tfs. love the pine cone & beautiful herstory of it, & your wonderful dolls. i don't really have a permanent matron yet, but have worked with a few deity. i did a rite to hela with some private fb page coven sisters (in synchronicity) a couple years ago, as we'd been gifted antique keys from berlin, that had been dipped (in rite) in hela's pond by an artist sister who was exhibiting there...the rite itself was strong & i remember closing my eyes & putting my hands out, fingertips up & forward, & she was so there, on the other side of the mirror- so to speak- with her bone fingers held up to mine, encouraging me to breathe out & release much shadow toxins, to which she inhaled & fed off...it was an intense, beautiful, moment that i'll never forget. she's bloody awesome. like you :) *blessings*
thank you for sharing!!!
Thanks for being the most radiant woman in my orbit.
I think it's fantastic that your Matron is Hel! I work with her a great deal now in my practice, I work with the whole Norse Pantheon. That is the main core of my practice and your altar and the way you talk about your Matron and practice is amazing and beautiful. All your scared items are amazing and have such wonderful lush energy coming from it.
Your Altar is wonderful! That pinecone, just WOW
I love your space 💗
Im really interested in your poppets, its something Id love to know more about x
I use stuffed animals as poppets
Thank you
Holy shit, that pinecone! Simply gorgeous space and amaaaaazing story about the pinecone! xo
"I dismembered the fuck out of her" Haha I love it! Fabulous altar, Kelly! X
If it's ok, I'd like to see a tour/show&tell of your crystals and stones box :) i love mine so much and would be dead interested to see what you have and what you love and why. x
Thanks for sharing. What an amazing devotional space!
omg I totally love siouxsie so funny you remind me of her as well...
Beautiful and thoughtful altar! That holder that the rose quartz sphere is in is perfection! lol Bernadette's head. :D I just recently put some spell remnants in my garden, which has yet to come up since it is snowing out right now. There was something magical about that tiny little process even! Than you so much for sharing this.
Thanks X
I realize this video is almost a year old, but I was curious if you wouldnt mind sharing who Heil is? Ive tried to do a look up on your channel of her, however Im not finding anything? Maybe Ive missed it tho?? Insight?? Thank you so much! Blessings!! Update! Found one of your videos explaining with the next video clicked on ~ Love intuition
If you still haven't found out who the artist is- I think it is Anna Novikova.
Here's her deviantart: ansfhd.deviantart.com/
I love leonie dawson workbooks! You have such a beautiful altar
Such an incredible space
I have that same box, literally identical.
thank you for sharing! very much enjoyed the video!
I'm now re-watching this video and I just fuckin' love ya, to be honest
Omg... the pine cone... incredible. Had me in tears!
+Katey Flowers I knew you would totally get it. :)
I was like "Hwoh! That pinecone is like one of the most perfect pinecone! Ohhhh very nice!"
That pine cone is amazing and it's magick is palpable, what an amazing gift that you have!
you are a unique and inspire the goddess within......love the crystal. I'm curious about mirror magic and was wondering if you have a background to comment.
The artist in question for the goddess of hell is Anna Novikova
I love your altar. Did you that the Witches of EastEnd had your Matron Hel as a character before they were cancelled? I wish I saw what they made of her as a character on that show. Killian was HOTT!!!!!!! 😍👍🏽🌟⚡️🌞
such a beautiful place, feeling blessed
Its better to store your dolls face down to preserve the eye mechanism, but that might not be so nice for Mary! Looks like shes doing just fine after so long =]
I loved this video! Thank you so much! you did mention a few things that I hope will you go further into in future videos. For instance, doing workings with collage and images on paper. This sounds like it would be very useful to me but I'm having trouble imaging where to start (it's probably not as hard as I'm making it out to be.... ;) Also, I'd love to hear your techniques for candle magic. Overall, your videos have seriously inspired me. I'm looking into shadow work and set up my altar after having it be defunct for about 8 or so years... just, thanks from the bottom of my heart!
My six year old son was watching the pinecone (I had headphones on) and asking why you were showing it off. This sparked a discussion of women's suffrage, etc. and he proclaims "Whoa! That's cool!"
+AngelofSeitan Epic!!!
Thank you so much for sharing your sacred space! It was lovely and incredibly inspiring!
As for the picture of Hel, I believe that the artist is Anna Novikova. She has a series called Scandinavian Mythology and this piece is a part of it.
You can check it out here: www.behance.net/skyfirehead
I think it's so cool how you lay your spiritual life open to help other people. You are a very generous person. Sorry to be xenophobic but I find it much easier to listen to a voice from the fair shores of Albion.
beautiful and inspiring =)
Gods, I need a table like that. My altar is the top of my dresser and it's easily becoming overcrowded and exploding at the seems. :-P
+AngelofSeitan I'm in the same boat :)
+Valleygurlie916 I'm thinking of checking thrift stores for old wooden tv stands. :)
LOL so am I! And I'm keeping an eye on the free craigslist postings ;)
I have used small book shelves, too. But then you can't light candles on the lower shelves without burning it down, hahaha! Second-hand shops and garage sales... best places. Mine is on my dresser ATM too. I don't feel able to do much there. How's it with yours?
+StandingPerfectlyStill Holly It works ok for now but it's taller than it is wide so it feels cramped. I still share the dresser with my husband so I use the top drawer to store supplies (but barely since I have more than can fit in one drawer) and the rest store our clothes. We just bought a house so once we have a bit more money I am trying to convince him to let me put an altar in the spare room. It would be great to be able to do spell work etc. in there so I don't have to tell him not to come into his own bedroom every so often. :P
Coincidentally my goddess sister Moon has been badgering me about new spell work under her when she becomes a full moon.
Hey Kelly. Love love love this video. Wish YT organized my subscriptions better so I could come across yours more often. Anyway, I'm curious as to how often you are at your altar? Im rather new to using one and was doing a morning/ evening connection ritual each day. I enjoyed it, but it began to feel forced. How (often/ reason) do you do your time there? Guess I'm interested in another perspective of time and schedule. Nothing strict I know, but Im developing a better connection to my intuition and this is part of that process for me. Thanks a bunch! Much love.
+Golighty678 Heyyy. :) I'm going to be making a video about what I do at my altar and how often so keep an eye out for that. :) Thanks so much for your question. x
Art is by ansfhd on DA.
I love alters. I'm so very curious, so I will ask some silly questions. What do you prepare and call "mojo"? What is the satin blue scarf in drawer #1 used for? Where do you get your candles? Do you prepare most of your oils? Do use Essential Oils? I have to say Wow, to your alter. Loved the tour! Love and Light.
Just a thought, but I was wondering if you would consider doing a video on Pop Culture Magic? I see people occasionally talking about pop culture, displaying certain things on their altars, their BoS, journals, part of their magical practice and an very curious as to how this can be incorporated into my own practice. Thank you for your consideration! :)
hi Kelly-ann, the image is by ansfhd on deviantART
ansfhd.deviantart.com/art/Goddesses-of-the-North-Hel-347722839
+TheSimplechunk OMFG, how did I spent two whole nights searching for this and only come up with re-posts?! Embarrassing! I LOVE you for this link!!
Pinterest baby!! :D I'm so glad I could help! I love you too for putting your altar out there and being you
You are truly unique. I have not heard of a matron Goddess being the Goddess of hell. That's amazing to me, you are amazing. I do have some question I hope they aren't too personal, For your Goddess of femininity does she have a name? or do you use The Goddess as her name?
i enjoyed this for sure. i was curious, what do the rocker punk type side of the alter represent, i wasnt sure.
+Lippy Witch Female empowerment, freedom of expression, freedom to be 'un-ladylike', freedom to scream. They are also there to remind me that I need to keep doing what I do and expressing myself in a pure way even if people imitate me and rip me off and do Norman Bates style parodies of me. I cannot allow other people's lack of originality to impede my desire to embody my true self. I must keep going, just as those bad ass original bitches did!!
that makes sense lol i was just like hmmm i wonder :D very cool
I see that you keep some of your waters out on your altar exposed to the sun. How do you keep your waters from molding?
"It was creepy as fuck so yeah I put that on straight away" 😂😂
Kelly-Anne, I have a quick question. I made a scrying mirror for my alter. I left it overnight, the day I made it, on my alter in my room. It felt wrong, like I left a vortex open in my room or something. I tossed and woke up all night. Would you have any insight about this? I've since put the mirror in my side drawer next to the bed.
Hi Kelly-Ann, loved the vid! What's the name of and artist of the piece of music at the end? Thanks xx
It's in the down bar underneath the video, babe :)
hahaha a 100% working magnetism of problems.
what is storm water used for? I've not heard of it before and I love storms so it sounds cool. it's raining pretty good where I live right now and this makes me want to go collect some :)
I use storm water for keeping storms at Bay. I water a plant with it to represent my space, I also have a jar with a few drops to take in the car so we won't crash
Hello, I have a question. How do you store your storm water? Mine ended up festering and stinking like a rotten stagnant swamp. It was horrible. LOL Do you know of any way to best prevent this?
Sorry for commenting so often...can I ask a question? Did you say you have 'tea' with your Goddess? What does this mean?
Hi! The artist is (of your Matron Hel's portrait) is Anna Novikova www.behance.net/skyfirehead it is in her Scandinavian mythology section.
Best Wishes,
Little Blue
"This video does not exist" - the book of mirror videos you linked.
+IndifferentSky UHGH - yeah, TH-cam is being weird, there is an issue with links at the moment. I'll fix them now.
Lovely Video, be interested in knowing more about your word cut-up magick :)
mine is similar but a little darker.
+Tom Baldwin i have a stones/fireplaces in my woods as well........
