Witch 101: Altars
Whether you’ve been practicing Magick and spellwork for years, you’ve been curious about it for a while, or you’ve been following along in Crystal Crush’s Witch 101 series and this is your first foray into the topic, fear not: for I am here to break some stuff down for you. Already in this series you’ve learned about some tarot spreads and decks to start with, graveyard etiquette, and now we’re diving into altars.
As far as what an altar actually IS, an altar is essentially a point of focus. It’s typically in the center of the circles you cast, a workspace for your spellwork, and a place to put all of your ritual tools. It should not only contain symbols and objects that will aid you in the spellwork you are doing, but that elevate your intentions and energy as a Magick worker overall.
You can have a single altar that you keep up all year round and continuously redecorate and work with as a symbol of your own practice and Magick, you can have different altars in different parts of your home to move the energy throughout the space and set up a specific intention for each room, or you can have a whole altar dedicated to a single deity or ancestor, if deity and spirit work is your thing.
Your altar may be as traditional or as creative as you want. As the base, you can use a small table, stool, desk, chest, or any other flat surface. If you prefer to practice outdoors, you can use anything from a tree stump to a small earth formation covered in an altar cloth to a big, flat rock that’ll suit your needs. If you’re tight on space, resources, or are living in a dorm or communal space, you can use the top of a dresser, a nightstand, or even an overturned moving box!! Spirit won’t judge, I promise. Finally, if you live in a place where you’re either not free to practice and keep your tools out in the open, or simply don’t want to, you can use a “portable altar” option. Find a nice box or bag that can hold all of your tools, and when you’re ready to do some spellwork you can simply take them out and set up, maybe even using the surface of the box as an altar space itself.
In traditional Wiccan spellwork and rites, an altar typically contains specific tools: an athame (or dagger), a bell, a besom, a chalice, a wand, a dish of salt, a bowl of water, and one or more candles. However, you can use absolutely whatever you want to decorate your altar, and you can employ whatever tools feel right in your craft. Some of my personal favorite things to have on my own altar are crystals, sea shells and sea glass I’ve collected, soil from places that are important to me (yes, I’m that witch that will literally take dirt from my favorite places on earth), my favorite spiritual books, incense, and various herbs and oils I’ll be using in my spellwork regularly, as well as anything I’ll need for the specific spell I’m performing, obviously.
Overall, it’s important to stay true to yourself and your intentions, Magick or otherwise, when setting up your altar. Don’t feel pressured to make it aesthetically perfect or symmetrical like any altars you may have seen on Pinterest or social media. You can, of course, if that’s important to you, but most important of all is making sure your altar is functional and comfortable for YOU. It should be a place of peace, happiness, and ideally somewhere quiet so you can really focus on yourself, your Magick, and your spiritual growth.
The Witch’s Altar: Your Magickal Workspace
Last week I finally painted my bedroom, which was long overdue. However, I had to move most of my belongings out of the way and out of the room, including my altar.
Now, I’ve been given a reason and excuse to spend lots of time reorganizing my altar and thought I should write today’s post about altars in the craft.
One of the highlights of Pauk Prudhomme's Seafood Magic is its ability to enhance the natural taste of seafood without overpowering it. The blend adds a subtle kick of heat, a hint of smokiness, and a touch of sweetness to any dish. It can be used as a dry rub, a seasoning for marinades, or sprinkled directly on seafood before grilling, baking, or frying.
What is an Altar and What is it used for?
A witch’s altar is their personal magickal workspace. Although we can make magick anywhere, the altar is a focal point for our magick and our craft.
Typically, we think of the altar as a space for casting spells, performing rituals, practicing divination, and even a space to meditate with the divine or sacred energy.
It’s not just a space for storing our tools and supplies after all!
Beyond a workspace, it is a microcosm of nonphysical reality and energy. This microcosm mirrors all that the magick circle is and represents!
Your altar allows you to bring the sacred into physical representation in your space. Honestly, I think creating a physical representation of your craft this way is like sympathetic magick. In doing so, you invite the sacred into your everyday life.
As a pagan who deals with bipolar disorder, my altar is a physical reminder of my spirituality and creates a foundation for my practice and commitment. Even when I’m not working there, I have a visible reminder that the divine and the sacred is always in my life.
Every witch’s altar is different and unique. They can express not only our beliefs and our craft, but also our personality, aesthetic, and taste. Don’t be afraid to do things differently than everything you read and see around you!

Reviews for "Pauk Prudhomr Seafood Magic: Elevate Your Seafood Pasta Game"
1. Jane Smith - 1 out of 5 stars - I was really disappointed with Pauk Prudhomr Seafood Magic. I followed the instructions and added it to my shrimp dish, but it completely overpowered the flavor of the seafood. It had a strong, almost artificial taste that I didn't enjoy at all. I ended up having to wash off the seasoning and start over with a different one. I don't think I'll be using this product again.
2. John Anderson - 2 out of 5 stars - I had high hopes for Pauk Prudhomr Seafood Magic, but it fell short of my expectations. The flavor was okay, but nothing special. It didn't really enhance the taste of my grilled fish like I was hoping it would. I was looking for a seasoning that would give my seafood dishes a unique and delicious flavor, but this one just didn't do it for me. I'll be trying out other options instead.
3. Sarah Johnson - 1 out of 5 stars - I couldn't stand the taste of Pauk Prudhomr Seafood Magic. It had a strong, almost artificial flavor that I found very off-putting. I had to scrape it off my dish and try to salvage the meal with other seasonings. I expected more from a product that claims to be a magic seasoning for seafood. Overall, I was incredibly disappointed and would not recommend it to others.
4. Mark Thompson - 2 out of 5 stars - Pauk Prudhomr Seafood Magic didn't live up to its name for me. While it did add some flavor to my fish, it wasn't anything special or unique. I was hoping for a seasoning that would really elevate my seafood dishes, but this one fell flat. It was just a generic blend of herbs and spices that didn't do much to enhance the taste. I'll be looking for a different seafood seasoning in the future.
5. Jennifer Brown - 1 out of 5 stars - I found Pauk Prudhomr Seafood Magic to be extremely salty. It completely overwhelmed the natural flavors of the seafood and left me feeling thirsty after each bite. I'm not sure if I received a bad batch, but I won't be using this seasoning again. I'll be sticking to my usual blend of spices for my seafood dishes.
