Altars are the space where a witch practices their craft. It can hold a good deal of things, divided in any way that a witch sees fit. Some divide by directions, some by deities. Some divide by a way known only to them it’s up to you!
Let’s take my altar for instance:
All my witchy ingredients tucked safely underneath
My cauldron; a square clay pot I made in junior year
Lots of offerings on the right side of my altar
Things to represent the faeries I work with on the right
My wand
Decorations for Beltane
A couple specialty items
My altar will look completely different from yours, or even someone who works different from you!
Set your altar up in a way that makes you feel the most comfortable!
There’s so many of these posts, but like many others that post this, my dash is deceased.
So reblog if you post about:
Random Witch Things
Chaos Magic
Green Witchcraft
Witchy Herbs
The Fae
Runes and/or Sigils
Norse Paganism/Heathenry
Craft Names
And reblog if you’re:
A Witchling/Baby Witch
LGBT+ Witch
A Witchy POC
A Male Witch
A Closeted Witch
The Theban Alphabet
It will be used in my next post! Think of it as a secret alphabet for all you in the broom closet!

I am always open to asks and doing free readings! Do not hesitate to ask!
I am discomfort…
Writer friends, I discovered a fun website today. It’s called “I Write Like” and here’s the description: Check which famous writer you write like with this statistical analysis tool, which analyzes your word choice and writing style and compares them with those of the famous writers. Let me know which autor you got!
I’m back, friends!
This time, we’re going to explore the wonderful world of
Crystals and Minerals!
Since everyone likes shiny rocks, and since crystals and minerals are found literally everywhere, I figured this was the next logical step in this undertaking.
When you go out looking for crystals at a specialty store, make sure you get ethically sourced, wholesale rocks, or rocks grown in a lab. I know witches on both sides, and I get where each are coming from.
If you get rocks you know are ethically sourced (i.e not through unpaid labor like *blood diamonds*), then good for you. Sometimes, witches are broke, and can’t drop a crap ton of money on rocks. That’s where lab grown rocks come in. 1000% cheaper, same rocks (arguably). Regardless, know where your rocks are coming from.
It might be helpful to have a little guidebook on rocks to help you identify what you have, especially if you’re going for cheap tumbled rocks like what you find in a gift store. Then you know what you have!
I hope this was helpful, and not some incoherent rambling. If you have any requests for the next installment of the Eco-Friendly Ingredients, please let me know!
Hi! I want a free reading please! My question is: How can I have more patience with myself? I am always impulsive with my energy because I feel like I am wasting so much time without doing something and then I can't do anything right. I almost failed all my college classes because of this so that's a big problem for me rn. Sorry if my english is bad, I am still learning :')
Hello there! My Silmarilion deck wished to be used- so here we go!
Where you are now/ Where you want to be/ How to get there
Where you are now: Irmo, reversed
You feel this is unachievable for you. Stuck, in a spot you do not feel comfortable in, and that you wish you could get out of, but that feels out of reach.
Where you want to be: Mairon
Patience is likely only half the issue. There is something more going on here that I cannot see right now. In any case, make sure that you figure out the other part of the problem.
How to get there: Yavanna, reversed
Form new habits- it only takes a month to start a new habit. Find something to fidget with, like a worry stone or a piece of jewelry. You will likely not see the results of this for some time. But as long as you take care of what you have started, you should be fine.
I hope this helped you!
The next 5, because Tumblr only allows 10 pictures. Aulë, the Vala of Stone and Fire, and master of Smiths; Manwë, king of Arda and Vala of the Winds and Skies; Oromë, Vala of the Hunt; Thuringwethil, Maia of Melkor and herald of Sauron; Melian, queen of Doriath, and mother of Luthien Tinuvél.
• Mai • They/them • 18 • A safe space for witches who are in the same boat I was, not super long ago. Divination, plants, and faeries are my specialties!
