Altars can be as simplistic or as elaborate as an individual wants.
Witch altars are sacred and special spaces that symbolize your innermost self and spirituality.
As stated before, an altar can be as simple or as ornate as you choose.

The choice is entirely up to the witch making the altar.
Wiccans and Pagans are certainly not the only religions or spiritual beings that use altars in their faith.
Altars are seen all across religions in churches, temples, and from religion to religion.
But thats what an altar isa physical representation of ones practice.
Which is why they can be such a powerful tool for a witch to utilize.
Altars act as a physical space for the regular world to meet the spiritual world.
Surfaces for altars can be lots of different pieces of furniture or places.
It can be as big or as small as you choose, and in any room of your house.
Trust your gut and the energy that surrounds you when youre creating your space.
Whatever feels the most right for you and your practice, probably is.
Because Wicca is such an Earth-based belief, many witches incorporate natural elements into their altar.
Its entirely up to you!
Other sacred items may be tarot cards, books, a tapestry, statues or totems.
If youre using different crystals on your altar (or in life!)
The design and objects are entirely up to you to create your most optimal sacred space.
Once your altar is set up youll need to cleanse your space.
2.Light your sage from your candle or a match.
3.Say out loud, say a variation of a cleansing incantation.
May it be a space of spiritual growth.
Now go forth and practice with your altars, witches!
