Gods and Goddesses: 

Have colors/animals/flowers/herbs that they’re connected to on your altar, leave them offerings, have a picture or a statue of them, have 2 sides of your altar (one for the god and one for the goddess), have prayer beads, and a god and goddess candle. 

Advice: 

Do what works for you, if you can’t have a huge altar with a lot of tools, thats fine. You make an altar out of an Altoids tin or a shoebox. 

You can make altars for sabots, the fae, your deities, or the elements. You can also decorate your altar for the seasons or the sabots too. 

If you don’t believe in any gods or goddesses, you don’t have to believe in them or put representations of them on your altar to be a witch. Personally, I’m secular and I don’t work with any deities/spirits. 

Take my advice with a pinch of salt. You don’t have to follow exactly what I say, these are just ideas. This is your practice and you can do whatever you want to. Don’t be pressured to do something just because someone told you to, this is your practice; not theirs. 

Thank you for reading this and have a magickal day! ❤❤❤

Struggles of a Witch

I was busy doing a protection spell in my room when my mother and father walked in. Normally, I’m not shy about talking about my hobbies to people close to me.

However, witchcraft is something very personal to me and I know my parents would never support my hobby, even if I tried to convince them. My dad asked me what I was doing out of curiosity. When I refused to tell him, he got angry at me and tried to guilt trip me into telling him.

“Why don’t you tell us anything anymore?”

Because everytime I do, you get angry at me or disappointed in me.

“We tell you everything, why can’t you do the same for us?”

Parental relations is a huge difference of power. So even if you do tell me something (which you usually don’t anyways, each time you talk to me you just point out my flaws), I can never have a negative reaction to it, unlike you to me.

“You ask us for something, and we agree right away without asking anything else. Do you think it’s fair that you don’t do the same? I don’t.”

First of all, you never agree to me automatically whenever I do ask you something. In fact, mom usually is the one who tries to help me. Second, don’t you dare talk to me about “fair”. You’re so hypocritical, you never stop to think about what others feel. Third, I didn’t ask for your opinion. If I don’t wanna tell you something, I’m not obligated to tell you. Every single time you don’t get your way, you throw a fit. Grow some understanding of boundaries.

(Sorry for ranting, I just get riled up whenever a negative situation happens out of witchcraft, because I really love magick. I don’t want any bad feelings coming from it.)
