I was a closet witch forever. And I never had the money for proper tools. I went to thrift stores and improvised. My first cauldron was a large brass ashtray. Nothing looked inherently witchy, except to me, and I could hide it in plain sight. Now, I'm older, my collection has grown, but I still don't have traditional witchy items. My deity statues are copies of famous pieces of artwork, like venus de milos, Michelangelo's David, etc or pieces of tourist art like stone figures of indigenous peoples of mexico and north america. Lately, I've taken to pieces of art from Africa of figures, humans in abstract, flowing curves. Circles of dancers, mother and child, lovers, or curled up single humans. I only have two pieces one would consider true earth goddesses of this time period now. I mix all that with pieces of chinese, Tibetan and Japanese art, different buddhas and immortals. Pieces that look like I'm an art collector, not a witch. I do have crystals, but I only keep the large interesting ones out. The rest I keep in stone boxes and pull out when I want them. My herbs are stored in my closet along with extra candles and my candles all come from candle factories that make popular scents, or plain, regular candles that are in plain candle holders and dont look witchy. I do collect crystal and glass balls of different colors, some being globes, all vintage, and my real crystal ball hides within these in plain site. While it might look slightly new age mixed with vintage art, kind of a bohemian feel in that, nothing screams witchy, and yet it's all items I work with and love. I've learned over many years, that it's not what the item truly is, it's what it represents to you. And so I'm just as content with my odd assortment of various works of art scattered throughout my house as I would be by having a proper witchy altar that looks like it belongs in a witchy magazine. I find that this is a great way to hide in plain site, and have multiple altars to fit their needs without causing any issues. Your altar is beautiful, and your personality shines through it. A wonderful place of serenity and peace.

This message couldn't have come at a better time. I've been struggling with my altar and was thinking about that very thing right before this popped onto my feed. Thank you for sharing your thoughts!

So true. Although I didn't have all of the Wiccan representation on my altar, I'm still having to think about what I want to keep out in my space. I'm sure it will change once I move out.

Very true. Loved this wander. I’m glad it’s serving you well. It’s so much better when it works for where we’re at, and not where we once were.

As someone who prefers a very simplilistic altar myself it's really nice to hear from another witch that it's ok to personalise until it feels right. Thank you for sharing, I always look forward to wednesdays 💙

Thank you for the video.  You have a wonderful alter.  I live on a sailboat and I'm limited to the space I have.  I love that you encourage us to do what feels right to us.  I so appreciate you.

Welch wunderschöne synchronität es für mich ist. divine timing....ich habe mein Altar nach /während Imbolc angepasst gehabt...und erst vor einpaar wenigen Tagen diese Unterhaltung gehabt. Do it your own. Danke für den Beitrag. Wunderschöner Altar Desk. ❤

i totally agree with the part where you said don’t feel like you have to have items that are seen as witchy. i recently purchased a wax melter and wax cubes to replace my candles for one of my deities! i feel like younger me would’ve stuck with the candles because they’re more traditional even though wax cubes are much better for me personally

It's good to see this... feels like at home :)

🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥 thank you.

Beautiful!! Love that tea light burner.

Years ago I came to the same epiphany, I needed to listen to my own voice, instincts, aesthetics not what others said I had to have. 🌱💜

Beautiful Witchy Altar and Magnific Witchcraft instruments, I loved. I love witches altars tour. Blessed be witches.
Thank you so much.

I have never had a center altar. I have little altars all over my home for ancestors, certain Orishas, saints and deities. I do have a Spiritual Room. It where I do workings and tarot readings. I also realized over time that buying crystals was a waste. I end up having them more as decorations. I don’t end up doing anything with them. I replaced them with shells 🐚. That’s more my style

Ooo that incense burner is beautiful!

So beautifully done Bente! I love this style of video with the voice-over and the sharing of your personal space. It was so relaxing to watch!

My altar is truly my happy place.  Although I do have a lot of the usual suspects in my “Craft Room “ and on my altar, it is without a doubt my own.  It has my personal touch all over it.  And if one would see my altar space, they would see my unique imprint as well.

THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL ALTAR ❤

That altar is so beautiful, thank you for sharing. Blessed be

beautiful, i love the message 😍
