Altars: A Crash Course

According to Dictionary.com, an altar is “an elevated place or structure at which religious rites are performed or on which sacrifices are offered to gods, ancestors, etc.“ As a witch, an altar isn’t absolutely necessary, but having one is incredibly useful. An altar can be a place to store the tools you use in your craft, or a space set aside for working on spells or even just meditating. If you work with a deity, your altar can serve as a space dedicated to that being and communicating or working with them. This post is meant to serve as a short and detailed guide to setting up your altar.

Decorating Your Altar:

The easiest way to decide how you’ll decorate your altar is by finding what symbolizes your deity. What colors is your deity associated with? Are certain plants or natural elements used to represent them? Let’s say you’re an Aphrodite devotee. You might use pink or red candles for their association with love and passion. Seashells are often used in paintings of Aphrodite, so collect some from the beach and scatter them on your altar if you wish. Rose petals are also a good choice. In my case, finding decorations was easy. Crosses, crucifixes, rosaries, and devotional candles are the main elements on my altar. The important thing about the decorations you choose is that they correspond to your deity. And these don’t have to be traditional correspondences because the strongest ones can be the ones you’ve come up with yourself. For example, say you have a really special candle that reminds you of your deity and you want to put it on your altar. Does it have to be a specific color or scent that corresponds with them? No. If it has some special connection to your deity, that’s a good enough reason to have it on your altar! That’s a personal correspondence, which is just as valid or important as any traditional correspondence you might find.

Using Your Altar:

Altars are most commonly used as a space to leave offerings for your deities. As a witch, you might also choose to use this space for any work or communication with them, or just as a space for performing your craft. I use mine for both. Before my altar was my altar, it was a desk sitting in the corner of my room collecting dust. Now I decorate it for sabbats, and use the drawers to hold my herbs, jars, candles, grimoire, crystals, and my other witchy stuff. I usually perform spells there. When I want to do something honoring my deity, I leave my phone and other distractions aside and sit at my altar. Whether it be having a cup of tea with Him or just lighting a candle and remembering His presence, it’s useful to have a space dedicated to your deity and your craft, and only that.

Alternatives:

Of course, I haven’t forgotten all of you witches that don’t work with deities! Decorating your altar is basically the same process I’ve explained above. Make it a space for your tools and your craft! Arrange them based on how you use them, or just in a way you think looks cool! Decorate based on the seasons and upcoming sabbaths you might want to celebrate! I made my altar right before Samhain, and decorating with what you have or what you can find is so much fun. Set out candles and crystals that correspond with the upcoming sabbath! For example, I have lots of tangerine quartz and carnelian. I arranged those and Halloween themed candles on my altar for all of October, and threw in fallen leaves and the apple for a touch of the season.

And below is a picture of my altar decorated for Yule. I arranged crystals and candles with corresponding colors, pine cones for a seasonal touch, and the tea was my offering that day.

If you’re a secret witch or just don’t have the space to dedicate, there are also alternatives to this. I’ve known witches to use Pinterest boards as digital altars by collecting pictures that remind them of their deity or their connection with their deity. Mystak ( @ikilledamanimeanwhat ) even used the Neko Atsume app to make an altar for Apollo! If you’re particularly close to nature, you could even make an altar outdoors. An outdoors altar would definitely be affected by the weather or any critters nearby, but it’s possible. When it comes to altars, the sky is the limit. Whether it be a drawer in your room or an entire room, an altar in a box you carry with you, or a space under a tree outside, you can make an altar out of almost anything! This is all of the advice I have for you. Thanks for reading and happy altar decorating!

✨🌹ATTRACTING LOVER SPELL🌹✨

This spell is to attract a lover in your life, a certain someone- romantically.

you will need: 3 rose quartz coral/orange, red/purple, and pink rose petals—- use enough petals to make a circle surrounding candle (i used 10) red/pink candle (or any color you associate with love red/pink thread

Begin by laying out your candles, petals, and crystals. put candle down first, then set petals out around the candle, forming a circle. Outside of that, put the three rose quartz around the circle. Make them all evenly spaced out, as if creating a triangle.

Light candle and tie the thread to the candle. Then, tie another thread to your own wrist. Say these words:

• as this string connects us, we will feel eachother. even as this flame burns, our love shall burn. and even as this flame is put out, our love shall burn even brighter.

with passion, (touch coral/orange petal) lust and power, (touch red/purpley petal) and pure love (touch pink petal) •

Then, chant these words for however long you feel is right:

• bring me my lover. lover come find me. help me find my lover. •

finish with: so mote it be.

blow out candle. you can disconnect the strings from you and candle. I took off mine and left the other one on the candle- just to remind me of my intent everytime i saw it, to put more energy into it I suppose. :)

Offerings for the Dead

Most people are reblogging an ask I answered long ago about offerings to give to the dead. It’s long overdue, but I’ve finally typed it up into an actual cohesive post.

~ Herbs ~ 

Lavender, for peace in passing on

Thyme, to give peace to those who have died from violence

Apple, a common Irish symbol for the dead, which I often give to my ancestors 

Pomegranates, myth of Persephone and all that

Rosemary, for remembrance

Myrrh, commonly used in necromancy, also used to give off good vibes

Chervil, often used in rituals for the dead

Mugwort, usually used to aid divination and communication with the dead. I also give it as an offering

Bay, same as mugwort (my mentality is that these herbs will help “send” the offerings to the dead)

Lemonbalm, for peace and healing

Wormwood, to strengthen the communication with the dead, as well as healing and revenge

Frankincense, a traditional herb (usually incense) to honor the dead

~ Flowers ~ 

Calendula, for blessings and eternal love

Rose petals (or the flower) for love and healing

Marigolds, perfect for ancestor worship (as well as spirit work salves and tea)

Lilies, for a sense of security and togetherness; ideal for children

Orchids, for balanced emotions and adoration; ideal for former lovers

Daisies, also ideal for former lovers and lost family members

Tulips, to spread happiness

Dandelions, ideal for connecting with certain spirits (especially when drunk as a tea)

~ Liquids ~

Water, a traditional offering for the dead, often left out for passing spirits

Wine or other alcohol

Juice, namely pomegranate or beet

Oils, such as olive oil, pomegranate oil, coconut, almond, vinegar

~ Other ~

Stones or crystals

Coins

Tobacco (I also know some people who use cigarette smoke or ashes)

Grains, traditionally brown bread

Meat

Candles, namely dark colored or earth-toned

Cleaning up graveyards, placing offerings on graves and speaking to them also makes a great offering

Song and music

Anything personal to the person you’re sending the offering to

~ What to do with the Offerings ~

Burn herbs or flowers (safely) with a written message to “send” the offering to the soul

Leave coins, flowers or herbs on the grave

Pour liquid into the earth, or leave them out in a bowl

Leave offerings out as a “standing offering” for the dead who pass through (idea from @arachnospooky)

This is SO overdue I’m so sorry but I hope it helps!!
