My Altars - #OWC #ShowYourAltar

Merry meet, my friends! Thanks to this weeks #OWC, I’ve been inspired to show you both of my altars! Hope you enjoy and sorry for the crummy pictures lol.

My Primary Altar

         Now I’m still in the “Broom Closet” because my grandparents, who I live with, are very against witchcraft. That is why my primary altar isn’t permanent. I just set it up when I need it and take it down when I’m done. To represent the elements and four directions, I start with two white candles I bought from the Dollar Tree. These represent the element of Spirit. At the top of my Altar is a wooden Pentacle to represent Earth and North. On the left side is my temporary chalice (buying a permanent one soon) to represent Water and West. At the bottom is my wand which represents Fire and South. Finally, on the right is my Athame to represent Air and East. I’m the center of my altar is where I place my Book of Shadows, Grimoire, and Book of Sigils.

My Crystal Altar

         This is the altar that stays up constantly because it’s on a small shelf. The candles for my altar are kept in the back, next to my collection of tarot and Oracle card decks. My tumbled crystals are kept in front of my candles, along side my selenite plate that I use to cleanse my crystals. My chakra crystals typically sit on the plate when it’s not in use.

         In front of the tumbled stones are my wands (clear quartz, rose quartz, amethyst, green fluorite, rainbow fluorite, obsidian, and lapis lazuli). At the very front of the altar are my raw stones (quartz [clear, white, rose, green, blue], orange calcite, carnelian, red Jasper, blue apatite).

          In front of my decks is a picture a friend of mine drew, my spirit guide’s obsidian energy generator, a little toy he seemed to like so I gave it to him, and his obsidian hexagram necklace I wear when I spend time/communicate with him. The last thing on this altar is my slate crystal grid that I use often, whether it’s for meditation or all around good vibes.

I hope you enjoyed taking a look at my altars! They’re not finished yet but they’ll be finished by summer’s end, I think. Have a wonderful day and blessed be!
