Hello Enchanted ones,
The sun is male and the moon is female - yes I know I mixed it up 😅 I am only human after all
Welcome back! I had a few weeks break just to ground myself and balance after a few crazy videos last month! So, I am back and here with this Altar tour and idea video - which I truly hope you enjoy! I have had this altar for one year but I truly believe that if you’d like to create an altar to honour your craft and practice at - your altar can be anything you’d like it to be! This altar does not follow any particular type of witchcraft so if you’d like to learn more about specific types of altars e.g., Wiccan. There are tons of great videos on KZfaq. With saying that - I believe if you surround yourself with the things you love, your intention will be purer than ever! Self Expression is amazing!
Anyway, hope you enjoy it
All my Love
Alwyn

*the Sun is mascaline 🌞 and the moon is feminine 🌙

@hannahwollenzin50 8 ай бұрын

In Norse Paganism, it's the opposite- the sun is the goddess Sunna and moon is her brother Mani 😊

Yup, the moon is a lady 🌙

The way you lovingly placed your childhood photo in a shrine of self-love elements actually brought tears to my eyes, it's so sweet. So many of us have inner child wounds we're tending and that's just such a lovely way to be reminded to reach back and say to your younger self, I see you, I love you, you are worthy. I am grateful for the inspiration 💛 (also I lol'ed at the halloumi crystal 😂) Thank you for sharing all your creative ideas!

I really loved watching the evolution of your altar, because mine started in a similar place. It was just a little shoebox in the bottom drawer of my dresser with tealights and other little magical bits and bobs that I had as a teenager, and now, in my twenties, it's a whole setup with a table and storage shelves to the side along the majority of one of the walls in my living room, full of all the books, tools, crystals, and herbs I've accumulated over the years. Oh, and a million candles, of course, lol.
