#mint tin altar

theladygwen:

For those of us not yet out of the broom closet, keeping an altar and magical supplies can be nigh impossible. Fortunately, we have mint tins.

Here’s what I used:
- A mint tin (~1.5” long)
- A white 3x3” cloth
- A stone
- A feather
- Part of a white Hanukkah candle
- A small brass stand
- Matches and a paper match-striker
- A seashell
- A straw triskele (symbolizing Brigid)

CANDLE HACK: Put different colored threads in the tin. When you need say, a red candle, pick out the red thread and tie it once around the bottom of the candle. Now the white candle will function as a red one.
NOTE: This will not work for spells/rituals that require that the candle burn all the way down. Always use caution when working with fire.
