Love seeing other people's altars, makes me feel connected to other pagans and my own practice as well
I've been a witch for around 1,5 years and even during that short time my altar has changed a lot. It's changed many many times in size and especially in what it holds, I used to put everything witchcraft related on it but now I have two other shelfs for those as I've acquired a lot more materials. Currently my altar holds a couple candles, my daily jewelry, bowl of my crystals, tarot, the elements and a couple things dedicated to my spirit guide. It's fun to see how much things have changed in such little time!
My altar space is small, but I use what I can! It started off as largely a sticks, rocks, and dried plant hoard, and is now a bit more organized. I use the top of a bookshelf under my windowsill, with space for my tarot decks, a bowl for a harmony/cleansing salt I cycle out monthly, and candles for my grandmother and old pets. One side is more of a workspace, the other has the memorial candles and space for their objects (a rock in a color my grandma liked, a dog statue, etc).
I think the biggest change in my alter is the amount of stuff. When I was new I felt like I needed EVERYTHING, I have purged it more than once. Now I think it's more comfortable and not nearly as cluttered.
The altars and magical working space you are showing remind me of the anime movie Howl's Flying Castle. The author of my favorite tarot books, is Melissa Cynova, The Kitchen Table Tarot. She loves to use Wonder Woman as one of her deities. She encourages people to use any fictional character or celebrities for deity worship. I love this idea.
wow I'm quite sure I've seen a Hello Kitty's altar in the web.
I actually work almost exclusively with these “pop culture” deities! Its nice because interacting with the fandom can become devotional!
my altar used to be exclusively about the elements, with feathers, some moon water, a plant and a candle, but i since welcomed the worship of Apollo into my practice so that added a nice golden candle and an offering dish - as well as my tarot decks and my rocks :)
My alter looks completely different now. I have "work" crystals on it, angel tarot cards, more books, and insence holder with 2 small fake flowers at the bottom of it. It looks more efficient now in my opinion.
I’ve been a practitioner for about a year now and it has changed a good amount. Before it was really extravagant and obvious but now it’s just candles, a few crystals, and a few small things that remind me of what I’m doing.
I’ve been a witchling for six months, and one of the first things I did was make an altar for myself (though I called it a shrine until I got comfortable with the term altar, because it seemed “too occult”) stupidly, my first attempt at an altar used the same desk that I use for my schoolwork. Not only was this counterproductive because I would get distracted in the middle of studying (“ooh, my candle flickered! Let’s do a tarot reading!”) but all the negativity and yuckiness I brought home was immediately dumped there XD- not a smart move. I moved my altar to my other desk and it’s much better now haha. I keep it very simple on top, just a ward crystal, my devotional orchid, and a little decoration meant to represent whatever season we’re in- but underneath, in the drawers? Chaos. Thank you so much for making this video, I adore sacred spaces and sacred days and sacred things in general, getting to see them always feels so special and inspiring. Amazing yet again, lovely! Happy pride month btw 😊🏳️🌈
I've practiced for about 2 years now and my altar started as this wall mounted ikea shelf under a mirror with one of my mom's old silk scarves, just a couple white candles and a box with herbs, mini tarot cards, and some stones. I had started to store books and moon water up there when it basically ripped out of the wall, sending stuff all over my floor. needless to say i switched over to a small nightstand a lot closer to the floor after that lol. eventually i out grew the nightstand and pulled a table out of the basement that had just been sitting there since my dad found it on the side of the road. I have used that altar ever since and have spirit altars on almost every surface in my room. right now i mostly keep a few candles, some spells, various crystals and river rocks, and a space for my guide on my working altar. Each of the deities i work with have a space one a bookcase or table for themselves and i have offerings and things they are associated with on there!
My altar has a statue of Diana, a copper bowl with crystals, a small bowl of water, a mini mortar-and-pestle with salt in it, an orange, a small cauldron, a spell candle, several chime candle holders, and a 7-day candle that I light daily in devotion to Diana!
I’d love to see a video of your plants in detail w/magickal correspondences.
Question! What’s an altar tysm!! X
I just redid my altar! Perfect timing, your videos are great
Mine literally changes daily/monthly with the seasons & nature 💚 It's constantly changing!
I actually have an antique-ish dresser that I keep in my main living space. I call it an _Aldress_ (pronounced: all-driss) a mixture between altar & dresser 😊
The top 2 small drawers contain the main spell ingredients I use, and the other drawer is dedicated to candles/incense.
Then the drawers contain their own things.
The top drawer holds my sigil notebooks, working notebooks, research/planner, & Book of Shadows, etc.
The next drawer holds my oils & diffuser.
Next drawer holds all my small boxes & chests (that hold their own category of things)
The next drawer is for my fire proof plate [it's too big, and not as aesthetically pleasing as yours lol] and my bag of practical tools [tweezers, pokers, athame, mini funnel, mini pourer, scoop, etc.] Hmm, I feel like no one ever talks about the daily _practical_ mundane TOOLS you need.
Anddd the last drawer is secret 😋
It helps me keep everything is one point of practice (which helps my ADHD & pain) - but also so this entire room doesn't have craft stuff in every corner. Just this room tho 🙃
Thank you for sharing with us btw!
Oh I get that, my does change a lot depending on what I bring into my space and practice
As I started working more and more with animal spirits, as well as collecting bones, my altar became a working space to honor these spirits. I would love to have more space to dedicate an altar to each animal spirit but alas, I do not have the space. I’m happy, though, with my altar and I feel encouraged to see what I can do to arrange my space
I’ve been looking into Mary Magdalene as well!!!! Gotta love it!!
My altar has changed so many times. It's grown and shrunk and been a working space or just a decorated space. Right now it's a small space decorated to reflect my practice, with incense burner, candle and offering plate, and most of my practice is done out in the garden or with the many plants scattered around the house.
Pleasantly surprised to hear St. Mary Magdalene's name mentioned- yesss, she is awesome. 10/10 would recommend, she's been very great for self-love/self-care for me- also independence, both emotional and financial :)
My altar is constantly changing. 🙂 I'm a practicing witch since September 2020. And everything has changed so many times. 😅
Love seeing yours! And love your boundaries about your ancestor altar! Have a great day Frankie!
When I first started my alter was very elaborate, and hard to work with. Nowadays I usually keep only the things I work with often (crystals, spells, incense, tarot) on my alter inside a doll cabinet. Then again, I just moved, so currently my alter is in a tiny box next to my books with a singing bowl on top😅😂
I love seeing other peoples plants! (And altars!!) I had to get rid of many of my houseplants recently due to a pest infestation that was very overwhelming to deal with but on the brighter side my balcony herb and veggie garden is mostly thriving 🥰 as for altars, in the beginning so almost a year ago i just had one big altar with everything and as of right now i have a few different ones spread across my apartment like my ancestor altar and one that i try to redecorate with the different seasons 🥰
My altar space has always been so chaotic but right now it’s almost exclusively plants, bones I’ve found or been given, and rocks I’ve found. Got a few candles scattered about and a little tray of items that honor a deceased relative, and I think somewhere on it is my bottle of cat whiskers but I’m not really sure where that is lmao
And- keep collecting plants! It looks like you’ve got a lot of great indirect lighting in your room which I’m sure your micans and maranta love :)
I'm binge watching altar tour videos as I'm about to film one 😆 and I loved this!! I haven't come across your channel before, that sacred union of folk magic and animism is my jam so I subbed, yay. I love how you connect with plants in your practice. Your maranta is flourishing!
My altars have changed so much over the thirty odd years I have been practising. Initially I started with a more wiccan style set up (that was all I knew about in the early 90s) but these days it's a lot of shrines plus my desk, where I do client readings and spiritual journaling, and my working altar/ apothecary space. I also have a Mary devotional shrine/ altar and an ancestor altar. I do plan on showing my ancestor altar in my tour, but mine is in the kitchen so it is more a family altar - not so personal as yours sounds. I do have a couple of set ups in my bedroom which are completely private though, so I get it.
Thank you for sharing 💗
Question! What’s an altar tysm!! X
My altar is the same, yet different: a cluttered batch of statues and tools laid out Wiccan style, god energies on one side, goddess on the other, the four elements, etc. The actual tools and images have changed along the way.
My altar at first was just an aesthetically pleasing arrangement of plant material and crystals and things when I was living with my parents. Now it is obviously more pagan but also easier to quickly pack away when my parents visit as I'm still in the broom closet
Question! What’s an altar tysm!! X
I’ve asked you about this and I’m so glad you spoke on the Florence thing. Because I feel it too. No altar tho
Your space is so beautiful 💕 thank you for sharing with us!!
Question! What’s an altar tysm!! X
so far the main difference is that I've separated my devotional altar from my working one. When I first started I didn't have enough space for two altars, but now that I'm at school I keep them separate
Make a video about magical ways to care for your plants please!!
I started working a lot with roses with Mary Magdaline. Nice video!!
I have two different altars (though i might turn my plant collection outside into an altar for lady Life and lord Death) my smaller altar is my religious altar for mainly Hermes but I do praise other spirits on it as well. My other altar is my Bigger and Working altar. I always use Avon bottles in my practice for Iconography like a Dog shaped bottle for lord Death and a Log bottle for grounding oil.
I love it! It is always so inspiring to see other peoples altars. Thank you so much for sharing it!
Thank you for this video. 😌 It was really calming and inspiring to watch for me at this moment!
i love this video!!! gives me inspo for my altars and makes me feel even more connected to my sacred spaces
I feel like my main altar is pretty close to how it felt when I started. Only been practicing for a year and a half, so I dont think I have too many things I can cycle through just yet.
That being said, I had 2 legendary pokemon figures that I kept on it, since day one(Solgaleo / Lunala used them for Sun/Moon energy. Thought it was very on the nose)
I've only just took them off the alter, this month. I thought they needed a break! They'll go back on it day one. 😅
oh my god using pokemon cards to channel the elements or stuff like that is such a creative idea!! do you mind if i take some inspiration for my own altar?
@@max-rbln when I was younger and had no many things I used Little Twin Stars for God and Goddess. Now my altar is all white and very disguised. It still works as an altar (to myself) but I removed all when I became essentially an agnostic and I was bored with people coming my house and asking who's this who's that. Also sometimes deities didn't want to stay on the same altar. Now it looks like a posh home decor with a white vase on top of a cabinet for living room. All the stash is kept closed below.
I’ve been practicing for a like a year and I just have a working altar and an ancestor altar so far
Would love to see what are you currently reading or book recomendations witchy obvi🥰
Love the progression of your spaces. My altar currently consists of pictures of passed loved ones, my cats ashes/name tag, two candles, a black cat teddy and randomly-- a pile of book marks and pens😃
Question! What’s an altar tysm!! X
thank you for sharing, it is lovely to see and be inspired by other practitioners altars! Honest question (because i personally struggle with it) how do you keep everything kinda clean as it is a lot of smallish stuff out in the open?
You can propagate philodendron from cutting if u want more plants
I see that Gideon the Ninth book!!! It's so good!!
ALSO FLORENCE TOO YESSSSS She's a huge influence to me too
Great room tour! Where do you find all the bones? Do you hunt the animals yourself or do you live near a deer populated forest? :D
Thank you so much for sharing your alter with us....! I am currently working on an alter dedicated to St. Expeditus. xoxo
ah, it feels like forever since i sat down and listened to a CWA video in peace ^_^ the pros of a proper sleep schedule, am i right? xD
I love heading about your practice of also love to work with Mary Magdalene have you read her gospel? I have the book I'm dying to read it xx
I get so happy every time they upload:)
Where did you get those earrings?! 😍 They're gorgeous!!!
I have pet prairie dogs and they are so sweet and loving. I love having them, they’re care is similar to a rabbit’s! I wonder if owning and caring for an animal would be a good way to honor/work with that animals spirit? (
I love prairie dogs except that 2 weeks to 6 months of the year they want to kill you)
Hi Frankie! Where would you recommend I research more about the different epithets of Saint Mary?
I luv ur channel art!!! Did u make it???
In terms of not showing your ancestor altar, is that a tradition or did they ask you not to show it?
Also, my altar has been different every time I set it up, since I've moved a lot in the last several years. My last place I used a whole section of the kitchen, and that was my favorite thus far.
i wish i had a place in my house for my alter but i don't really :(
Do you have to worship ancestors to work with them? I’m a Christian witch!
I working w way more dieties then I ever expected they all just came at me lmao
Love if you did a tweet thread or tiktok about starting veiling, not veiling itself but what it brought for you and what struggles you went through
Also ways to wear it cause every darn video they are wearing it in a different way and they all look so goooood
So, you can have celebrities as deities?
I refuse to worship or devote to anyone, but I am willing to work with entities like business partners. I do place gift offerings for Hades and some angels since they helped me a lot when I was a baby.
When you gonna drop a video about Hades :3
I want a prayer plant. So much after watching this video. It sounds great my mom had her prayer plant for many years. Don't worry.
Love seeing altars 🥰
Hey for your plants babies may I recommend to you green aventurine and moss agate they both will help your plants 🪴 to grow healthy and strong 💪.
love this
i was just thinking about an altar tour from you today lol
Your a literal queen
Gotta get me some bonnneess
slayed
EARLY ERAAAA
I'm convinced the only reason my plants arealive is bc I've put rose quartz in them.. lmao

Can you make offerings and pray to the spirits to end world hunger, oh wait magick is nothing but delusional ramblings so never mind.
That was so sweet to watch! i'd say i'm fairly new, as i've only been seriously practicing for a little over a year (though i went on & off in my practice as a teen, but geniunely was so messy and had difficult things to deal with so lol). I used to have like one altar i put everyone on (not a good idea) and a lot of plants too. Now, I have five altars and each plants has a spot with their own crystals and mementos I brought from trips that make me think of them. Needless to say, my room is full, but I ironically find it less chaotic to have all these busy places :')
I'll add that when friends come over, there's actually hardly room to set their drinks on, other than bedside tables lol
