#thrifty witch
Listen y'all, I’m a traveling girl. Most days when I’m away from my altar at home, I just wish I had a little space to meditate with or cast spells while I’m on the go. Today I fixed that issue! I made a tiny altar locket! I can take it anywhere and use it anytime that I feel like I need a little space of my own.
I used tiny little gems to represent the elements and glued them down. I can change to top photo to a specific God or goddess that I may be working with at the time as well. I’m really excited about this little altar!
This is a wonderful idea! I’ve seen some beautiful and cheap lockets at antique and craft stores, and I bet there is no end to what you could put inside. A bit of lavender and some chips of calming stones for when you need a space of calming and tranquility, A picture of a candle and some herbs for a quick spell, sigils/runes/symbols, etc ~ <3

Candles and wax are used a lot in magick. Fancy, good smelling candles are really expensive though - well, they aren’t anymore!
Dollar stores like Dollar Tree have candles and candle holders, but they generally only have white candles (or white and red). This is okay but sometimes a witch just needsthat colored candle or wax. Here’s how I make my own colored candles on a budget.
Note: I have a wax warmer that I use for this project, got it on sale at Walmart, its normally 15$ + tax (if you don’t have a wax warmer you can melt your wax in the microwave, but please do it in increments of 15 sec or less and make sure it does not catch on fire.)
Supplies - total cost 2$ (if you don’t already have these things lying around your house)
- Tea light candles (pack of 16) - 1$ at Dollar Tree
- Crayons (pack of 48) - 1$ at Dollar Tree
How to make it
- Take the wax and wick out of the aluminum holder, careful not to crumple it
- Separate the wax from the wick
- Select the color you want from the crayons
- Put the tea light wax and a chunk of crayon into the wax warmer and let it melt, stirring it together.
- There you have it! Colored wax! If you’d like it to be a candle, place the wick back into the aluminum that the candle came in and pour the colored wax around it.
Hope this inspired some of ya’ll to get witchy even when you feel like you can’t afford it!
