That birthday candle was such a smart idea! I was wondering the whole time, "Where the hell do you get tiny candles" completely went over my head lol

When I first heard of a mini alter I was picturing someone using an old tackle box or tool box. I was way off lol.

No dear, they’re saying that you don’t have to be a Wiccan to be a witch, they’re two different things. Witches can have alters absolutely, I have one myself lol, but I’m not part of the Wiccan religion

[@MatrixDownload5150]

Suggestion for people looking for small items for their altars should check doll house miniatures! I even found candle holders with the candles a small caldron, mortar and pestle! Etsy also has a dealer in miniature athames and knives for sacred usage!

[@Rabeaumbra]

Let me just say as a crafty witch, that this alter is ADORABLE and I LOVE IT. I don't see myself putting in quite that much effort, though maybe over time I would try to do all the little things you did to up this tiny alter game

I was wondering that too. Maybe they're doll house plates and bowls or something?

[@recoveringsoul755]

The crystal ball looks like it's just a clear marble, but I don't know, maybe you can find the right kind of material at a gem show or store, not sure what you use

[@CricketsBay]

I use sewing grommets with 1/4-inch hole from Wal-Mart and marbles with e6000 to make mini crystal balls with stand.

I have to go visit family and leave my altar to Artemis soon, so I will bring this as a little piece of Her and my devotion to Her with me! Of course, as a way of honoring Her, I'll of course make one for Apollo, too, and take Him with me, as well! Best Goddess/God combo, eh?

To all baby witches 🚨 you don’t need all this! You can have a very simple alter without all of the fancy stuff. It is very beautiful and your welcome to do it if you want but don’t be discouraged because you can’t do all the fancy stuff!

[@PixieHillStudio]

I totally agree. You do not need fancy paraphernalia or tools for crafting or magic. I ALWAYS encourage people to use what they have on hand, make substitutions, do what works for them. My only intent with any of the projects I share is to inspire and encourage creativity to anyone... baby witches, crones, and non magical folk too.

[@annoulamaraki5315]

I think you can make a little box literally for every purpose , for putting jewellers in it,a small present and make it as a gift box,y you can store small things there, use it for caramels or can create a nice small piece of art .

[@annoulamaraki5315]

And of course is easy to find these boxes in many sizes to fit your needs.

[@MichaelHernandezSax]

Very cool- where can you find the tiny plates/bowls that you place the candles/crystal ball on?

[@CricketsBay]

The dollhouse-making section of the craft store, or anywhere dollhouse furniture can be ordered online.

[@CJWright-auntiemoon]

What a fun project! Your supply list doesn't include the source for your tiny bobs and bits. Where did the tiny candle holder come from?

[@tinarosewolfe3226]

The only thing well one thing id add is a few glass thermometers and a few pennies a spring fuse and compas and automatic co2 tester and a mental detector along with a tree spike and tree steps that a spike can access water with in a tree trunk or cactus and the reactant of the magnesium and coper penny cause heat and other things I can't add but it can help to find water within a rock mountain straight from the source with in the earth

[@Polarisart]

Can i just put the paper in without gluing? Because it's a vintage box that i love lots

[@strangeaslife]

I like this, but I don't get the purpose of the trap door? What is the thought behind this, if you already have the inside decorated and are using a box to enclose everything? I want to make one but I'm not sure if I should put in the extra effort for the trap door if I'm not sure its purpose

[@rrwtrbl]

Olivia Rodriguez with the trapdoor, you can use the inside as a sort of “altar cloth” to set up your spell, instead on setting it up on the floor or wherever you are! it also can keep things from banging around in the box to a degree.

What would u do with the altar if it's that small bc I want to build one but domspell work on it but that's really small

[@PixieHillStudio]

I initially made these because I wanted something to travel with. It was tiny enough that it didn't take up any room in my luggage but allowed me to continue my weekly rituals. It was nice to have a compact pocket sized parcel with everything I needed to make sure my devotion wasn't disrupted (tiny incense/candle/herbs/vessel for water).

Does anyone know what brand of incense they're using? I've looked everywhere and can't find a brand of incense sticks small enough to fit in an Altoids tin. Would love to know what kind they're using here!

That bird skull charm. Can you explain what it is for? It looks like my neclace that I wear. I have been wearing it for the past 5 years but I only got into this witchy path only recently..

[@PixieHillStudio]

I have an affinity for birds so that's why I have it. To me they are usually messengers, and, depending on the bird, hold specific meanings. Enjoy discovering your path, embrace what holds meaning for you. Sometimes just being drawn to something is reason enough to use it
