I enjoy making a "mini" seasonal altar. For example: for Samhain/Halloween I'll be making an altar inside a pumpkin using it as a bowl and filling it with all natural items. This way I can recycle the whole altar as an offering to the wildlife in the woods beside our home. 🎃 🌼 🌹
Lovely is the altar, made by she, whom is even lovelier still. Blessed be, Lady Hearth. A most blessed Sawain to you. Merry meet, your grace. I thank you for you. For every video, which helps so much. And, generally, for you being you. I thank the Goddess for your very existence, which has been master crafted without flaw. Many positive thoughts and vibes to you. 🧙♀️🔮
Beautiful alter, I’m celebrating my very first Sawain, and my mom got me 2 wax melters, one being a simple lamp with a dish on top, and the other being a Dia De Los Meurtos (day of the dead - Mexican holiday) skull, which is beautifully decorated with florals and dots. Although I am of Mexican heritage, we actually don’t celebrate most Mexican holidays or traditions, but I do love the colors and just the history of it. I recently did a deep clean of my room and put the skull, as I plan to switch between each lamp. I also received 3 sets of wax melts, one blue fairy forest theme, one purple fairy forest theme, and one black day of the dead theme, each have their own unique scents, just can’t remember off the top of my head. I’ve been melting the black as I know the color black can be used for protection and it’s just very fitting overall. I have a cat and he doesn’t mind it, so it’s a pet safe alternative but always make sure you do your own research if you have pets. Sorry this is so dreadfully long, I hope you and your families all are well and best wishes lovely people~ 🌻❤️✨
Thank you for your lovely presentations. I love the cards you used on your Samhain altar. I just purchased the Halloween oracle deck. I love it! you are such a treasure! Thank you for sharing so much great information and supportive manner💐🧡🤎love and light
I have an outdoor altar because my kids are all over everything, but I really wanted to at least have SOMETHING inside, so now I have a mini ancestor Altar in my China cabinet 😂
Anyone have ideas about how to keep your cats from messing up your altar? Most of my furniture is small / low to the ground because the apartment is so small!
I can’t thank you enough for the idea of using the incense that way. I am very allergic to any smoke. I literally cannot breathe if there is smoke. I have used oils in an oil burner but these can be a bit overpowering at times. I don’t know why I never thought of this but I don’t think I ever would have. Thank you again for this. Happy Samhain.
No altar this year, but definitely going into spooky season with pazzaz! Mulling cider, gonna flip through our genealogy books and we're gonna have dinner with these apple/harvest themed plates that was inherited from a relative. So I'm pleased because 1) seasonally appropriate and 2) feels like we're including/honoring my more immediate family who have since passed. Hearth, I LOVE the idea of using the oil warmer for loose incense! Great way to still work with the herbs & resin, and experience the aroma but without smoke. Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. Be well and stay safe this samhain!
It's beautiful, simplistic & inviting. Thank you Hearth for showing us your samhain\ancestor altar , it's amazing. Blessings love . 🕯️🎃🕯️ P.s. The god statue is gorgeous!
Beautiful, powerful, stunning, intentional, amazing! This is definitely my favorite altar of yours so far! Thank you so much for posting this! Also, thank you for mentioning the oil warmer incense tip (it will definitely be useful for me)!
I've never thought about putting loose incense in a wax warmer, I love that idea! Over the years I've had two altars, one for ancestors and one for the season. I really like how you combined yours, turned out beautiful! 🎃Those pumpkins are adorable! 🎃
I'm always a fan of God statues, he looks marvelous. I've had my Samhain one up since right after Mabon. I'm actually really excited for my Yule altar this year
Random Q: have you thought of doing a video about how you whiten your teeth and do skin care? Your skin is so clear and teeth are brilliantly white! Black lipstick usually shows how yellow teeth are to me ... but it looks perfect on you.
It looks beautiful! Interestingly enough, I recently got a warmer for the same purpose you are using yours and I was hoping for a little guide and you have just provided that! Thanks so much.
I use breath cleansing too, during my practice. I feel it not only charges the deck with my essence, but removes any essence form other entities that may have had an encounter with my tools. :)
I am watching this on All Hallows Eve, in the UK. The rain is lashing down and it's very windy. I just LOVE it. I'm about to slightly declutter my alter. Very inspiring, thankyou. Happy Samhain.❤🕸🎃🤗🎃🎃🎃
Hearth, love your videos. Still trying to get my craft going. Just love the inspiration you give in your vids. Keep up the great work! It is deeply appreciated. --Tess
Thank you Hearth - I just found your channel - and I am a new subscriber!! I love your alter I know its late but I am setting up a mini alter for Samhain and ancestors (I recently moved so I haven't been able to locate all my alter items) I hope I can achieve the proper feeling for my alter - but anyway - I'm glad you are here to help us newer witches!!!
I'm so happy to have found your channel at the beginning of my magic journey. You're a wonderful teacher and I feel that I'm ready at this late stage in life (I'm 53) to start my own path. I already ordered a couple books you recommended which I intend to savour! Your altar does look beautiful! Have a safe, happy and peaceful season, from Linda in Vancouver, Canada
You've given me a few ideas. I know I'm cutting it close since Samhain is tomorrow, but work and life in general has been running me ragged lately. But I hope to finish setting up my altar today. My altar will lean more ancestral/Day of the Dead than Samhain-focused, but you have inspired me to include a few more crystals than I usually would, as well as a pumpkin-shaped candle that I love. Cheers!
Lovely altar and a fab tip on the incense. I use sticks cones and an oil burner with rose water, oil and dried herbs. I will try without the rosewater. When I next go to glastonbury i will buy some incense, was eyeing it up last time. Plus, really need to get a horned god and a goddess statue, the poppet too :)
What a lovely altar. Thank you for telling us about burning herbs without the smoke. As Im new to Wicca I was wondering how I could burn them without a lot of smoke as Id read that inhaling a lot of smoke is bad for you. Thanks for the info.
You’re altar is beautiful! I have my Samhain altar set up. This year there are a LOT of skulls on it! I also have that oracle deck and love it so much for this time of year! Also, I didn’t know you had a podcast! Where can I listen to it?
I like the idea of the oil burner,, dont you need to add water or oil to it for burning the herbs and resin?? I ask because I want to do that with my ceramic burner but I'm afraid that maybe it gets too hot and crack 😅
I'm still in the middle of moving house and so I'm trying to give myself some grace even though this is my favorite Sabbat too! Well I enjoy all for their own reasons I suppose but I loved Halloween even before I was pagan. I'm watching this hoping it will inspire me to make an altar tonight that I'm at peace with even though it won't be anything like last year! I love your approach to the sabbats that is inclusive of many paths 💜 blessed Samhain, Hearth 🎃 👻 🕯
I haven't yet, I'm cutting it close, but I'm going to make an alter for Sawain and for family members who have past. I plan to leave my first offerings to them.
Love the alter. I love Halloween but I don’t like haunted houses. I’ve been lost in a corn maze and it wasn’t a fun time lol then we came out by the street and had to walk a mile to get beck to the front lol
Did you learn about things from the labyrinth?! Direction, your person compass 🧭, focus on where your going… would be frustrating but made me think about it.
Merry we meet I’m 5 th generation witch love your work You have very good ideas I have a spring altar at the moment in the Southern Hemisphere I was born in England uxbridge And dad to us to 🇦🇺 I live in Tasmania blessings and love to you keep safe 😘
It's beautiful. It has all the elements and colors. I love it. You have inspired me. Mine just looks like Autumn. It's time to get into the spirit with Spirit.🎃👻☠️
Lovely. A friend has a made a Druids grove in another country to me. I was just thinking while watching your video that it is a good time to link an alter to the grove with gifts specifically for the grove. What do you think about this and when you make your alter, do you place with intention, stating your wishes for the alter or do you just place andlet the energies of the item to bring the energies .?
Hello heart I have a couple of questions I'm first of all I love your dress too cute I love bats but anyway about the ancestor sowing altar can I use pictures and maybe books I have from my grandparents as far as heritage to represent them on my altar and what are the best incense to use I have a lot of ancestors that actually are from the UK and I'd like to honor them as well? So if you have any advice for me I would greatly appreciate it Blessed Be and thank you!
Hi there, have very little space, so when I do an alter, it has to be packed back, as the space has to be reused for other projects. Would be great to see a video on a alter that would cover most things that can be easily packed.
Hi Hearth, I really enjoy your videos your content is great I am only just starting on my journey. I don't know any other witches in my area Haddiscoe, North Norfolk how do I find other like-minded people.
Hey extremely new to all this so learning constantly. I've seen your previous video with how to set up an altar where you have items representing the four elements. The altar on this video only seems to have fire represented, so it is not important to have all 4?
Anyone have any ideas on how to keep your cats from messing up your altar? Most of my furniture is small / low to the ground because my apartment is so small!
I have that same oil burner! Does the oil ever splat around at all when you burn your oil? Cause I've been having that problem with mine lately and it is peeling the paint off my alter shelf, and a bit of my wall lol
Hi there, I was hoping you (or anyone here) can help me out... I am wondering how can I better practice folk magic from my ancestral regions if I don't actually live in the country? I've been searching for an answer with maybe help regarding connecting to genius loci and folk herbs etc when they're not growing wild in my country of residence. Any and all tips, particularly to the above topics would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Epic idea
That's amazing. Giving back to nature. Why have I not thought of this before? Fantastic idea.🎃
That sounds really cool. I would love to see it. Do you have a TikTok or something?
Beginner witch here, and I just want to tell you how much I appreciate your channel. Your thorough knowledge of the practice is just amazing🖤

I did this too! I combined my ancestors altar and Samhain altar this year. My ancestors seem to approve. Happy spooky season! 🖤💀
The Horned God is fantastic. Beautiful altar, thanks for the inspiration.
Thank you for your lovely presentations. I love the cards you used on your Samhain altar. I just purchased the Halloween oracle deck. I love it! you are such a treasure! Thank you for sharing so much great information and supportive manner💐🧡🤎love and light

I think you need a shelf or little space for just mama bear! ✊🏼 ⚔️
Same but i dogs
Bedside tables or window sills in your room are really good! This is such a late reply
Anyone have ideas about how to keep your cats from messing up your altar?
Most of my furniture is small / low to the ground because the apartment is so small!
Love your altar, reminds me that they don’t have to be overly fussy and is just what calls to you. Thank you.
Such a great tip for burning loose incense! 🥰❤️ that altar looks beautiful! 😍🥰😘😘😘xxxx
My first Samahin as a baby Witch, how lovely and some great ideas. I love how this looks. Thanks for sharing 🎃
Thank you for sharing this, an altar is such a personal thing. Blessings to you and yours this Samhain

Be well and stay safe this samhain!
I've never seen resins been burnt this way. I've seen it done with vegetable oil and the resins in but not this way.
Your altar set up is lovely. The wallpaper to the left of it adds a nice feel to the mood the altar sets.
You did a beautiful job on that alter. Happy Samhain everyone! Blessed Be! 🤗
It's beautiful, simplistic & inviting. Thank you Hearth for showing us your samhain\ancestor altar , it's amazing. Blessings love . 🕯️🎃🕯️
P.s.
The god statue is gorgeous!

🌒🌕🌘🕯🔮🕯🎃🦇🎃🌕🐺🌕
Always love your seasonal altar setups. Thanks Hearth. Wishing you a peaceful night. Ty
Absolutely gorgeous altar setup! I've developed a real affinity for deer and stags, especially the white stag, so I really liked your stag print!
Absolutely love the tree of Life carving in the top of your altar. Very nice indeed.
I'm always a fan of God statues, he looks marvelous. I've had my Samhain one up since right after Mabon. I'm actually really excited for my Yule altar this year
It's a very nice easy basic samhain altar. It's making me want to scale back on the stuff I put out.
Always enjoy your altar videos and how you approach setting intentional spaces❤️
Random Q: have you thought of doing a video about how you whiten your teeth and do skin care? Your skin is so clear and teeth are brilliantly white! Black lipstick usually shows how yellow teeth are to me ... but it looks perfect on you.
Definitely inspiring to see something very simple look so beautiful and functional. Definitely need to de-clutter my altar space.
Beautiful altar, love the cernunnos statue and incense burner, and pumpkins too! Happy Samhain. 🎃👻🦇
It looks beautiful! Interestingly enough, I recently got a warmer for the same purpose you are using yours and I was hoping for a little guide and you have just provided that! Thanks so much.
I use breath cleansing too, during my practice. I feel it not only charges the deck with my essence, but removes any essence form other entities that may have had an encounter with my tools. :)
Samhain feels so safe🧡🍁🌬 Beautiful alter!
I am watching this on All Hallows Eve, in the UK. The rain is lashing down and it's very windy. I just LOVE it. I'm about to slightly declutter my alter. Very inspiring, thankyou. Happy Samhain.❤🕸🎃🤗🎃🎃🎃
I have that exact light up pumpkin. I bought it at least 15 + years ago at a Hobbycraft store in Dorset. I use it every year and love it a lot
I absolutely adore these oracle cards (Living Altar Oracle). I use them a lot for spell work!
Hearth, love your videos. Still trying to get my craft going. Just love the inspiration you give in your vids. Keep up the great work! It is deeply appreciated. --Tess
This is my favorite alter!!!! I am so excited to see!!!!
Haven't even finished the video and already love it

Love love love!!!!! Definitely working on changing mabonaltar to Samhain

Eee I'm never this early. I just redecorated altar the other day
9:27 where is that wax melter from? 😍
I will do a basic Samhain altar this time. Since I am a babywitch, I have to experience the sabbats before fancying them up 😂
"... always watching " 🤔
Hey you! 🤨
Yeah, you!

Sorry for the typos voice text suck LoL 🤣
Hearth good grief hun I'm sorry for typos.🥺🙄💜👻🎃
That looks great! Thanks for the incense tip...
Hello what is that lovely statue that you took off from the previous alter? The goddess with the moon on top of her head. She is absolutely beautiful
Love it 😀 😍 ❤
I have not done my samhain altar yet which feels bad buuuut I tend to leave it up all of winter anyways.
Hi there, have very little space, so when I do an alter, it has to be packed back, as the space has to be reused for other projects. Would be great to see a video on a alter that would cover most things that can be easily packed.
Btw, lovvvvveeeeeee the oracle deck!!!!
Hi Hearth, I really enjoy your videos your content is great I am only just starting on my journey. I don't know any other witches in my area Haddiscoe, North Norfolk how do I find other like-minded people.
I absolutely love your cabinet/your alter. Did you buy it with the gold embossed on it or did you do it yourself? It's beautiful, what is the design?
Hey extremely new to all this so learning constantly. I've seen your previous video with how to set up an altar where you have items representing the four elements. The altar on this video only seems to have fire represented, so it is not important to have all 4?
Anyone have any ideas on how to keep your cats from messing up your altar?
Most of my furniture is small / low to the ground because my apartment is so small!
It is a bit weird being in Australia where we celebrate Samhain in August 30th and Beltane at Halloween
I have that same oil burner! Does the oil ever splat around at all when you burn your oil? Cause I've been having that problem with mine lately and it is peeling the paint off my alter shelf, and a bit of my wall lol
May I ask where you got that particular Samhain incense? As I didn’t see it in the description
Hi there, I was hoping you (or anyone here) can help me out... I am wondering how can I better practice folk magic from my ancestral regions if I don't actually live in the country?
