A quick peek inside my alter box. 😀
The box itself was a gift, but I've seen similar ones at Walmart for less than $5. On the bottom of the lid I've drawn my sigils for protection and banishment to keep out negative energy.
The containers are from various things I cleansed and repurposed for storage. (The clear ones are from sprinkles while the blue one was a toothpick box.)
I store birthday candles inside the blue box. They're grate for a quick spell and if you're a closeted witch like me! (Sometimes you can even find birthday candles in hard to find colors such as black!)
The one of the clear containers on the right hold bottle caps I use as candle holders. Melt some wax into the cap and stick the candle right inside it! 😀 The other one I use to hold pennies I've turned into physical representations of sigils and runes.
The leaf represents earth, while the stones represent something corresponding to their color. (Red/pink = fire, Clear = air, white = spirit, blue = water green = earth.)
I also usually have some sort of memo/mini notebook inside to use as a junk BoS/journal and write things inside it.
The cloth underneath everything is a bandanna I've had for years and decided to use as my alter cloth.
