updated altar space 🤎

My goal was to use everything I already owned - which I was able to do! The space looks kinda bare, but the point is that I want to grow into it. The only plan I have for it is to thrift some mix-matching small vases so that I can add fresh flowers when I want to.

It would be cool to add some artwork on the wall too!

🌙Simple Everyday Things You Can Do For Protection

Source | https://www.instagram.com/mariathearcane/

What are some simple things that you do that you think would help another witch?

🌙My list of daily or easy practices requires little to no prep-work

•Use a protection plant ally like a witch's burr, cloves, thorns, motherwort, black pepper, garlic, or onion. Close your eyes and place your plant ally in your hands. Ask the spirit of the plant if they will offer you protection to see you through the day. Carry it with you.

•Alternatively, you can also use crystals. My go to combo is black tourmaline and red jasper!

•Use a protection archetype tarot card like the Nine of Wands. Nine of Wands, for myself, symbolizes boundaries and protection when it comes to our growth/life path. Place it on your altar with intention since it is a portal to our intentions, our guides, and the liminal, or carry on your person.

•Smoke cleanse the thresholds in your home, yourself, and your loved ones. I personally like rosemary and lavender for this purpose.

•As you leave an offering for your guides/ancestors/deities during your daily conversation with them ask them for their help when it comes to protection.

•Write the word protection or a symbol of protection on a black candle with intention and light.

I am a witch, ask me anything!

I'm trying to be more open about my witchcraft. Coming out of the Broom Closet, as it were. I'd like to share some photos of parts of my journey so far, and share a little bit about what witchcraft is to me.

More pics and discussion below the cut.

Last Yule, that is the one in 2023, I was given a black book and white gel pens. I decided to use it as my Grimoire. I intended it to be a journal and workbook for witchcraft, as I was mildly interested in the topic. For the first half of the year, I did a little bit with it, but not all that much. The book sat on my regular bookshelf until around July, 2024, when I put up a shelf that would become my altar.

This simple shelf would become my altar, more pics of which are seen below. Since July, I have filled out most of this black book, which has officially become my Grimoire, and is only a few pages away from being filled up.

It contains my interpretations of my favorite tarot spreads.

It contains records of my various spells that I have cast since starting my journey, a few of which are spell jars.

And one of which was a brand new spell I created, which I cast under the Beaver Moon. See the first image in this post, and this one:

All the while, I have been collecting spell components, reagents, fun trinkets, charms, gems, crystals, and books. Now, my altar looks like this:

That spray bottle there is moon water. I use it to spritz my terrariums throughout the house, and various other moon water needs.

I am super proud of the witchy progress I have made this year, and want to show everyone what I have accomplished. I now consider myself to be an Eclectic Witch, and I try to practice a little witchcraft every day, and am most of the time successful.

To all the Tumblr witches, let me know what you think of all of this! I'd love to discuss my journey, and will answer any questions you'd like to ask. Ask me anything!!!

A special thanks to all of those that gave advice to me throughout the year, and to all of those that post informative stuff about witchcraft on their own blogs. I have used info from a lot of various tumblr posts. Thank you so much!

This piece will make its debut in Bloomington, IN on March 16th. I've not named it yet, but it sure is something.
