How to set up an altar | Witchcraft altar set ups for different types of witches

Today we are talking witchcraft altar set ups:
how to set up an altar for witchcraft, different kinds of altars for different types of witches, how to use an altar in your witchcraft practice, and everything else related to this topic.
We will cover the traditional Wiccan altar, ceremonial witchcraft altars, look into ideas for secular altars or witchy altars dedicated to one branch of witchcraft (eg a kitchen witch, cottage witch, crystal witch, or green witch altar space), and gather ideas for what goes on a witchcraft altar.
I will also give you glimpses - in form of a visual altar tour - into my personal previous altar set ups for different pagan holidays, purposes or locations and chat a bit more about what different ways an altar can be used. This video is full of ideas and tips for beginner witches but hopefully also has some ideas for the seasoned witch practitioner :)
I would love to hear more about you and your witchcraft practice. Do you work with an altar? What kind? And how does it look like? And especially for all broom-closeted witches: how do you go about the topic of altars?

Me being a Native American half-breed , my entire apartment is my "Temple" and library. My actual Altar is a drum with a piece of glass over the drumhead to protect against wax drips , spilled wine , incense ashes and the like. My chalice and cauldron are both pottery made from clays found only on Tribal lands. I use an arrow as a Wand. I do all spoken parts of ritual in Tribal language. So thank you for this video. Binging on your channel

[@Thewitchescookery]

That is so fascinating! I love that you work with your roots and cultures in your practice 🧡✨ I feel with such a strong personal connection to your rituals and tools it lets you practice the craft on a whole other level ☺️

[@talonshadows4587]

@@Thewitchescookery I have taken "Traditional" foods and worked the recipes into my Wheel of the Year celebrations. I took a skull shaped life sized clear glass bottle and filled it with dirt from Ancestral homelands and current Tribal Headquarters , and the Tribal Cultural Center along with cemetery dirt where some of my relatives are buried . I use it as a candle holder on my Altar for my "Power/Ancestor" candle. I also painted the bottle using acrylic paints. Right now my Coven consists of myself , husband , 2 nephews and their wives . Yeah , we are a little "unique" in the way we focus our Wiccan rituals through a Tribal filter.

[@okidokidraws]

I'm half on my mums side I have some on my dads side too I don't remember which Oma said I have German inside me and Welsh too so I like Nordic and Gaelic things too I love like what you said I do my spells in German and runes

[@nekoleblue5906]

im usng talk to txt so excuse my spelling but i have always herd stories of native blood when i was younger but was always told we didnt want to know the stories now since i no longer have living relitives that can tell the stories i have done dna and alot of research. surnames Lawson, Corn, Kirkham, Kirtley, Fields, Ward, Manis, smith, Banks, Richardson, Mccoy, Wells, baxley, Bayliss, tucker, bushyhead, corntassel, ect. family from virginia, tenn, north carolina, kentucky, ohio, ill, indiana. appalachia area some family may have been malungeon some family has african DNA aswell. but im so interested in my native history i have heard we have ansectors that were wolf, paint, wild potatoe, long hair, and dear clan have also heard shawnee, cherokee, and chataw. i also heard draging canoe was an ancestor i would love to learn the native language

[@sidvacant9382]

Ooommmg Samme!! I'm full Native American and while I'm not as close to my roots yet I hope to learn more about my ancestors

[@TheSpiritualWitch1111]

Ooooh how I love that you are showing the openness in Witchcraft! “There is no room for authority in Witchcraft”. 😘

[@Thewitchescookery]

Yaiiih - I agree. It is empowering for every individual and doesn't need rules, leaders or control

[@SN-sz7kw]

Amen 😉

[@heedmydemands]

Yeah love that. I'm glad that I caught on with the idea so quickly that u have to kind of make it your own. Any other way I think I would leave it behind, it must b a thing of my own making

[@heedmydemands]

I love the creativity of it, it's very pleasing

[@hannahshark8080]

Our Pantheon is full of guides, not police officers.

[@lythnookwemin]

For in the closet, or those that need to hide their practice. Chess, various pieces can represent different beings. It's two colors can represent duality, pawns are great representatives for elements. The tower is great for a defense talisman. I have even used a personal game of chess as a cover for a love spell. And the best part for those tight on money, you can get cheap chess boards.

[@Thewitchescookery]

This is an awesome tip!!! ❤️ Thank you for sharing that with us! Never thought of it that way but now that you are writing it - there are soooo many options there to use it!

[@esthertadesse132]

That is soooo cool! Thanks for sharing!

[@shannap.lawnerd8107]

Also- if you must practice discretely 🫥🤫, and may not have a permanent alter yet, the ideas of cloth/shoebox are great. I would only add that paper is infinitely helpful in this way too; a large sheet decorated with the symbols/sigils special to you may be folded & kept inside a book until safe for you. The suggestions of natural items are great when closeted- nobody is going to question why we have dried flowers, pretty rocks, or a special painting 🖼. 😉💋💋 Stay safe out there, be blessed! 🤓🤘🏽💋🔮⚖️

[@Luminoscity]

Thankyou! I am a minor living with my family, and they do not believe in the ways of witchcraft, so i struggle to find ways to do my practice without being obvious. I am a big fan of chess, so this is especially helpful for me.

[@SN-sz7kw]

As an old lady & lifetime thrifter, I’d like to say that the pre-loved items that “find you” are many times the best. My altars, shrines, and whatnot have evolved over time, organically, as these treasures have quietly arrived in my home. Mixed in with a few handcrafted tools (including my surprisingly powerful soul cards), nothing screams occult, yet my folk practice weaves throughout it all. I suggest letting things evolve naturally to nurture & support you.

[@Thewitchescookery]

I couldn't agree more! Most of my things are thrifted, found in nature or gifted and it is a wonderful collection of unique items that all have their own story. For me a lot of the magic already starts there ☺️✨

[@karahhhhhhh]

When I first started out with witchcraft, I felt it was extremely strict and you had to do it an exact way. But after watching your videos I realized that it's all about you and you can practice witchcraft at your own pace. Thank you so much ❤

[@AllieJL]

There are far too many witch gatekeepers who feel their way is the only way. There is no wrong way to be a witch.

[@honeyjewel333]

You're my favorite "witchy" KZbinr. You always keep it real, and I enjoy that so much!

[@Thewitchescookery]

Ooooh staaaaahp - you make me blush 😃☺️ such a huge compliment - thanks so much, lovely ❤️

[@followyoursoulcoaching8224]

I second that. ❤️

[@zoetevka4653]

♥️♥️♥️

[@ellarah8783]

This was so helpful, especially for secular or atheistic witchcraft. It can be difficult to find advice for that side of witchcraft. Thanks so much! ☺️

[@Thewitchescookery]

I am so glad you think so! And yes - a lot of the online creators seem to practice in a religious context. But there are more of us secular / atheistic / agnostic witches out there: Sedna Woo is great and also the sceptical witch ☺️🧡

[@koya326]

r/sasswitches also is a great forum to be in for that

[@shannap.lawnerd8107]

🤓🤘🏽💋🔮⚖️

[@everdream653]

My altar is in my bedroom. Mostly because there's this perfect alcove right above a built-in drawer set. But also because this is where I spend most of my time. I also have an aesthetic altar set up in my living room right next to my chair, but that's because I need something pretty in the room that keeps up my good mood when I'm in there. I also have a digital altar on my tumblr page that I visit daily for a pick me up when I'm feeling less than stellar.

[@Thewitchescookery]

A virtual altar is such a great idea! I never even thought of that! Thanks for mentioning it - I am sure that will give a lot of fellow witches inspiration ❤️☺️

[@Alushenka]

This was exactly what I needed :) I grew up as an eclectic Wiccan - as eclectic as it was possible in 00's in Central Europe lol :D I'm reviding everything now and I'm tending more and more to witchy minimalism and some personal fusions. I'm temporary staying at my friends' flat due to renovation of my flat and I'm enjoying an altar which is not in a cupboard. It has some challenges though because my cat is drinking water from the cup... eh, chalice! :-D Thank you for kind and cheerful reminder to do stuff my way

[@Thewitchescookery]

Hihi I loved how you phrased that - the Wiccan books (there were no secular witchy books to be found here in the 90s and early 00s) I remember to be suuuuper hard-line, leaving no space for eclecticism at all 😃 luckily we now have more resources for information and inspiration! When will the renovations be finished at your place? Hope everything goes well ❤️ hihihi your spiritual cat 🐈

[@sandrathomson7288]

You are fast becoming my favourite youtuber!! I love this video- and agree, to hell with the "rules". I have two alttars, one in the main living area and one in my bedroom. I have a lot of items that are personal and I want to keep their energy clean from others, so perfect for my bedroom altar- it also is a self care and inner self worship sacred space. I would love you to make a video about house spirits, here in Scotland we call them Brownies, and we make an offering of chocolate or a sweet thing if we have lost ( stolen by a brownie) something. I think Dobby from the harry potter movie was a house elf- and I imagine you have similar in Germany- or Spain!

[@Thewitchescookery]

You are so sweet - thanks so much for this compliment ☺️❤️ this video idea has now already been requested a couple of time so I guess I have to get filming 😃 we do indeed have house spirits as well and I love me some folklore ✨🧡 much love

[@katyroy7278]

riiiiight?!! :)

[@sandrathomson7288]

@@Thewitchescookery Very excited to hear your take on house spirits. I use a fairy door as a threshold for my house elf. We often leave some chocolate to look for house keys etc. Always works. I am a bit of a sceptic so at its simplest I think it is jolt, or permission to stop looking- who knows maybe fae!! An interesting video here kzbin.info/www/bejne/ql6pYYVmobOsepo&ab_channel=ElementalEncounters but I look forward to watching and sharing your video!!

[@karolyn8644]

My mother claimed to be not superstitious, but when she cut the top off an onion she would sometimes put it out on the back step for the Brownies. She said they would take them to use for hats. 😸

[@Anna-jr8gu]

Seasonal altar is definitely my thing! I like the continuous changing of colours and objects! Lately I noticed I love dealing with my plants a lot ! 🌱🌿🌱🌿🌱🌿🌱🌿

[@andreadimmick8105]

I drew an Oracle card yesterday, Sacred Space, so began building my Altar, it now contains my Oracle deck (Goddess Guidance), a tealight holder in the shape of Herb books, Emu feathers (from a farm, which has a lovely café, called The Cakehouse), so the feathers are a reminder and to represent Air. Also a jar filled with Lavender cut from our garden, for its calming properties ( I use for a wonderful relaxing bath and also Teas), in front of which I place my daily oracle card. When I woke this morning I felt drawn to go into the garden and pick some Ferns and Ivey, to drape around my Altar, this space feels so special now, I'm sure it will grow and change over time. Thank you Bex for the tips xxx

[@delimanator]

Literally spit out my tea from laughing and “furry demons and crotch goblins”. 🤣😂🤣

[@Thewitchescookery]

😂 hihi so sorry

[@francescajordan9832]

I’m still very much a beginner in all this and I love love love your vids! So informed and non biased but really fun too! I guess I’m probably a green witch as I’ve almost subconsciously set up an altar at the top of my garden this year. I call it my healing garden and I’ve grown healing herbs and plants along with a little Buddha. I do a lot of grounding there and it’s really given me a sense of peace. My husband completely gets it so I’m very lucky 🤗 Thanks for your channel, it’s really great!

[@Thewitchescookery]

Oh you are swet - thank you for this kind comment. So glad you enjoy the videos! I love the term 'healing garden' - very green witchy ineed :D Wishing you and your understanding hubby a magical day 🌿🧡

[@fieldsofjaro8748]

I love how you simply incorporate your magic into your everyday life the way you do. Your always giving me such inspiration! :D

[@Thewitchescookery]

That makes me so happy to hear that you get inspiration out of it ❤️

[@josephrice6807]

This was grear. I always had an altar as an Orthodox Christian but have yet to develop one for my witchy practices. LOTS of good ideas here!

[@Thewitchescookery]

So glad you think so! It is so fun to set up your altar and let it naturally develop into your personal sacred space with time 💚

[@kristibunny1620]

Hi from another Christian Witch 🖤

[@hearthandbesom]

Helloooo! @Joseph Rice. Raised Byzantine Catholic here 👋🏼 I always had a corner altar for the same reasons. I still incorporate many icons & the like in my practice. Great to meet another like minded witch.

[@SweetPeaCherry]

I love that you included catholic relics as I am drawn to certain things as I was raised Catholic and still find some things call to me. I am also absolutely enchanted with your personality. =)

[@susanhijazi6000]

I find it best to only gather what speaks to you, and acquire things along the way. You are quite right, There is no need to go and buy all new witchy things. It will be far more beautiful and meaningful in the long run to purchase only things you personally love. I’ve been gathering for over 40 years. Now and again I still pick up something I gravitate towards. My wand is a piece of driftwood from a vacation spot. It means Far more than a store bought one would. When it’s right you will know it.

[@saraht6562]

I’m glad you made it home safely! Great video, as always. I break the rules. Not only is my altar in my bedroom, I also work from home in the same room. Oh, the horror. 😱 I don’t care. It’s actually my favourite spot in the entire house, and I just do a good cleansing if I’ve had a rough work day, and again before I go to bed. No big deal. If I wanted dogma and rules I’d convert to Christianity. It’s easier. 😉

[@Thewitchescookery]

What a rebel you are!!! 😱😂❤️ Absolutely agree - as long as you follow your gut and do what works for you, you will be golden! Rules are there to be questioned, sometimes challenged and some rules just exist to be broken hihi

I like how you mentioned some witches turn their entire home into an altar That's what I like to do. I haven't been able to have my own place for a while now due to injury that lead to disability, but I will get there again. I love having my craft, tools and such everywhere. Plants in as many places as I can fit and putting my whole heart into making my home my sanctuary I've had many comments from friends and family on how my home has always been cozy, comfortable and interesting😍

[@SpiritSadowska]

I am sooo glad you didnt mention Buddha or Ganesha! Sticking with witchcraft only is refreshing. I was born into Wicca and come from 400 years long line of them Polska. Modern day witches dont have a clue and should separate religion and spiritualism as it creates a cloud of unburnt karma and can clash. Blessed Be xo

I'm an art witch and I LOVE how you talk about its all up too you! I've always been a witch but when I was younger I felt so blocked or stunted? Because I was surrounded by media mostly books, telling me I had to do it this way, set up an altar this way, correspondence are this and that is that! If you don't do it this way and have not been initiated into a coven or order your not a REAL WITCH!!!

Fun witch tip! If you want an altar cloth or tarot cloth you can use a bandana or placemat (like those you put plates on at a dinning table) they are both cheaper typically than most altar cloths and you can still find a lot with different patterns n such for your own purposes!

Hello my friend 🥰 Glad you mentioned the need to allow one’s own creativity to influence the altar space. 💕 I have multiple space for my practice & one does include my bedroom.

Terri Conroy- Danu Herb Garden - she connects me to my mother and ancestry, and now you, reminding me of the peace found in 'being' my own kind of witchy.) All three of you connect alot to the outdoors and gardens. Places that keep my heart going. Thanks for the enjoyment.

So far all I have is crystals with colored glass beads, aka Suncatcher. I know it will grow but I don’t want to force it. Thank you for this beautiful nonjudgmental video 🥰

Okay the informaron was great - but your personality!!! I so enjoyed listening, chuckling, nodding my head.

This was very interesting, thank you. I'm a fledgling witch so I am still finding my footing, but I very much appreciate this video.

Mine is the top of an antique chest of my grandmother’s where I have photos of my immediate grandparents, and family that has gone before. It’s in my main living room. I do have elemental representation as I usually have a plant or seasonal flowers, a vessel with moon water, candles and bird feathers I find. I have a box where I put notes on issues I’m facing, and a small saucer with a triskelion marked on it, that I use for any offerings. I have other art, rocks, and trinkets I bring out seasonally or intentionally.

[@Jennifer83881]

Very well said. By the way, I love your sense of humour 😂 Oh, and some of the candles in the video were beautiful & inspiring. I love the pyramid-like one and the candle in an orange. 😊 Your videos are so full of beautiful ideas 😍

[@Reluctant_Priestess]

I’m so excited to see this video!! I do not buy into the very strict rules. My home is an altar.

[@Thewitchescookery]

So happy to hear you share my views ☺️ my home is my sacred space too ✨

So happy you enjoyed it!! ☺️

You are back at home! 😆 I have three altars. One nature altar, one Cernunnos Altar and one ancestor altar. I love altar videos. So, I get a cup of tea and enjoy your brand new video. 😁

[@Thewitchescookery]

I aaaaam!!! And it is so wonderful to be back and we have really lovely late summer weather too 🧡☕✨🌻 I did put a little something for you in towards the end of the video 😃

@@Thewitchescookery Bex, this was awesome! Thank you so so much! I am speechless! 😢 Du bist echt ne Wucht! Danke! 🌱🌳💚 Und ja, dass war und ist sehr interessant für mich. 😊

[@Thewitchescookery]

Freut mich! Ich wusste nicht ob du das schon weißt, aber ich hab mir gedacht, dass die Heiligenverehrung in Bayern eher üblich ist als in Berlin 😃

[@Cernunnos_83]

@@Thewitchescookery Aus Berlin ist mir nichts derartiges bekannt, ehrlich gesagt. Aber ich finde es auch spannend, dass der paganistische Bezug in Bayern nie ganz verschwunden ist, wenn es um die Heiligenverehrung geht. Danke für deine informativen und dennoch sehr charmanten und amüsanten Videos. Du bist eine der besten Hexen auf KZbin! Thank you very much! 👏😁 (I am a big fan of you 😊)

[@doesntmatter7402]

@@Cernunnos_83 Hi hi. I hope all is well. Bex recommended that i ask you about possible witchy things to do in Berlin. Im open to anything and will greatly appreciate whatever advice you have. I will be visiting in mid September. Have a good night

[@grooviechickie]

Thank you so much! I have been flirting with witchcraft since I was a teen and now, as I become "a woman of a certain age", I am really feeling the pull. This is a great place to start and you have really helped me. I've always worried about doing it all "wrong" and accidentally summoning Beelzebub or something 😂🤣 I know I have witch blood in my veins and have been quietly going about the business of life with intent. Now it's time to step into my older woman power. ❤

I love my alters ! I loved your video. Thank you and Blessings to you
