Merry meet everyone, So today's post is a little different because I wanted to do an updated altar and space post. I have been working on my new-ish altar for a couple of months now and I do believe I did a little update post about it when I first sorted it out. Now some aspects will most likely be the same and others would of changed slightly. With working in my space I do change bits up to make it more effective for me. So on one of my days off a couple of weeks ago I resorted underneath my display cabinet so it was tidy and organised again. I also did this so I could fit my crystal storage there as well so its not where it use to be where I was worried it would get knocked off and broken. Its one of the reasons I didn't fill the storage up with my crystals for a very long time. On the top of my altar is my main focal altar where I have all my candles and incense burning. This is used all the time. If I am sat at my desk working on my blog or other aspects of my day I will always have some kind of incense burning and also my main altar candles lit. I have many jars of candles which I get gifted a lot by family members and friends for christmas and birthdays so I always have this burning on my altar. The one I have at the moment on my altar which will be getting changed soon is the cinnamon and spice apple which I got for christmas. The one I am planning on changing it to is my lemon grass one which I normally have burning for spring seasons. (I love the Yankee candle ones) I always go through taper candles like I am eating them haha. At the moment I am looking for a good supply of taper candle colours for the main two back holders. The two pentagram altars I have are for my spell colour candles and I do have a good supply of them. (If they last as long as I hope anyway) The second main altar is what I have inside my display cabinet. This was my great grandmothers and I just love it to bits, the old vintage look and I know its been passed down from three generations now if you miss out my mother and my Nan. (so more like 5 generations). The bottom shelve is full of my witchy books that I don't use very often but can get access to anyway. I also have all my herb jars and incense cones in jars in the bottom right corner. This is ever growing and I do think that in the future it will take over the bottom shelve and I will have to resort the shelving out. The second shelve is more of a place where I have added items that mean something special to me but I don't know where else to put them. So theres my harry potter wand that I got last November from my London trip, theres my snow globes that I love and hold dear, Theres also my small cauldron that was gifted to me by a family member and a load of raw crystals. I have my special feather ink dip pen on display as my cats would kill it if I had it out and about. I have my smudge bowl which I use a lot and is on the middle shelve because its easy to get to. (again sand is inside this so I cant have it out and about just in case my cats knock it over). The top shelve is where I have both my jars of incense sticks in each corner and all my main items for display. So I have the goddess and mother earth statues, I have my main candle snuffer, my witch and fairy statues. I have my little items that honour the seasons and again raw crystals on there. I do have some items that I got in my witch unboxings as well like the small wooden bowl with salt in and my ostra wooden disc thats on display at the moment. So I also have cube shelving above my altar on the left side and this has more witchy books on display. These are the ones I use the most so I have them here so I can just grab and go. In the little chest next to my god and goddess statues are my altar oils. These are oils that I have gotten in my unboxings so I keep them together because they are special oils and I dont want them mixed with my essential oils as I do have a load of them as well. I also have a smaller altar where I do have most of my images on my blog around this one. I always do my staged images on this because theres more room and also easier to fit in the frame. I use this smaller altar to do my card readings and I also use this altar to do my meditation when I do get some peace and quite haha. I love this little altar because its just a handy little space where I can do my spell work and write in my book of shadows and just relax around it. I also have on the other side of my main altar a small storage area where I have my old cabinet that now stores my essential oils and room sprays that I have gotten from unboxings and also what I have collected over the years. I have also got special necklaces handing off the front of this on hooks and wall hangings that I haven't had a chance to put up yet or that I like them where they are. The last is the last bit I will go through in this post I will most likely have to do another post just so this isnt as long as it was going to be. Anyway this area is where my old cabinet is but also where I store both my book of shadows and as you can see theres two charmed within boxes in one of my cubes being used for storage. I loved the idea of usable boxes that I got in that subscription box. The bottom drawer has loads of information sheets and spell kits that I have gotten in my unboxings which I haven't used or wrote down in my book of shadows. The top drawer has all my long taper candles and pillar candles. I needed a good storage place for them as I always have to move everything to get to them and it didn't work well for me in the long run. Now I have fast access to my candles that I do burn a lot. I hope you enjoyed today's post and that you got some great ideas for your own altar. This is my altar that I have all the time. It will be dressed slightly different for the seasons and for the sabbats but there wasn't any point doing that side of it in this post as this is the one that is all year round. Or until I change it up again. I hope you enjoyed today's post and I will see you all in the next post. Blessed be x MissDoomie Comments are closed.
