How to set up an altar | Witchcraft altar set ups for different types of witches

Today we are talking witchcraft altar set ups:
how to set up an altar for witchcraft, different kinds of altars for different types of witches, how to use an altar in your witchcraft practice, and everything else related to this topic.
We will cover the traditional Wiccan altar, ceremonial witchcraft altars, look into ideas for secular altars or witchy altars dedicated to one branch of witchcraft (eg a kitchen witch, cottage witch, crystal witch, or green witch altar space), and gather ideas for what goes on a witchcraft altar.
I will also give you glimpses - in form of a visual altar tour - into my personal previous altar set ups for different pagan holidays, purposes or locations and chat a bit more about what different ways an altar can be used. This video is full of ideas and tips for beginner witches but hopefully also has some ideas for the seasoned witch practitioner :)
I would love to hear more about you and your witchcraft practice. Do you work with an altar? What kind? And how does it look like? And especially for all broom-closeted witches: how do you go about the topic of altars?

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

@@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.

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.

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! 🤓🤘🏽💋🔮⚖️

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.

@Thewitchescookery Жыл бұрын

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 ☺️✨

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.

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 🐈

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

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.

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!

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 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.

All three of you connect alot to the outdoors and gardens. Places that keep my heart going. Thanks for the enjoyment.

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!

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.

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!)

Hello my friend 🥰 Glad you mentioned the need to allow one’s own creativity to influence the altar space. 💕 I have multiple space for my practice & one does include my bedroom. You have to work with what you have, as you say, and if that includes limitations on space, then we just get to cleansing & ✨ TA-DA! magic witchy space!

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!!
