Roll 1d12 per column!
| Dice | Appearance | Effect | Additional detail |
| 1 | Thick volume recently bound in green leather | Reading the book will cool or heat whatever else the reader is holding. It can also freeze and shatter metal | The previous owner annotated the original text with writing made in blood |
| 2 | Badly burned stack of vellum papers kept together by strings | The text transports the reader to another place for 1d10 minutes | One of the pages has a pearl encased in it, fixed in place by magic. Removing it causes the paper to begin to decompose |
| 3 | Stack of clay tablets encased in a transparent crystal | Reading the book for an hour has relaxing effects akin to taking a long rest. Only the owner of the book may benefit. | The book contains a family tree of a famous archmage. Strangely, some people have been crossed out… |
| 4 | A volume of fine paper pressed together by two thick dark wooden blocks – an incubabulum | The book ends with dozens of signatures. Adding a name will add 1d8 hp to the maximum of the reader, and relete 1d8 pages from the book. | Several pages have illustrations of a great black cat. Hidden in the illustrations is a cypher for another book.. |
| 5 | Wrapping of a mummy unrolled and covered in symbolic writing | The book does not want to be read. It will emit very strong light and try to blind the reader. | Every odd page has been torn out, and what is left is barely decipherable. One can clearly tell it belonged to a religious order… |
| 6 | A long scroll written on the back of snakeskin rolled into a cylinder | The book is a parasite. Failing a wisdom check will compel the reader to spend time transcribing a copy of the book. | A hole from a weapon or magic blast pierces through the center of the pages. Somehow, a set of characters on the last page seems to have prevented it from going through completely |
| 7 | A ream of sheets of vellum packed in a resin that has to be magically dissolved | The book imparts knowledge of an obscure and useless academic field to the reader- for example, underwater balllistic trajectories | The book exists in 7 copies scattered throughout the world. The copies are aware of each other and communicate any change of ownership |
| 8 | A leather-bound volume of folio-sized sheets covered in ideograms | The book can magically hide a small object in a pocket dimension among its pages. Unless a password is used, it will not be found. | Several love letters are hidden between the pages of the book. They seem to be from many different authors and some are centuries old |
| 9 | A thin volume bound in black leather, covered in claw scratches | The book confirs the reader the ability to identify many beasts and monsters by the sound they make | The book appears to be empty, but is written in invisible ink |
| 10 | A wooden cylinder with a wax seal. It is filled with scrolls wrapped concentrically | contains a phrase book section for a foreign/magical language (e.g. sylvan), but many, many entries are just plain wrong | The book contains diagrams for flight machines. The machines move on the page |
| 11 | Thin tablets of fragrant sandalwood, carefully carved with inscriptions and illustrations | The reader can scour notes on the margins to learn a random low level spell | The book is stamped throughout with a sigil: “property of the library of ψḑ̸̹͓̬̯͂̋s̷͉̍͒̆͝f̵̮͉̗̾̍̀͂s̸̤̮̓́̒̓̇d̵̦̫̯͂̆̐͗f̶̩̹̈͋̅ ⛧” |
| 12 | Sets of dominoes with inscriptions and stones put in sequences on string bundles | For every day the book is not being read by the owner, the book will become 1lb heaver. At some point, the weight will force the book to be abandoned | The book chronicles multiple battles for the control of a magical sceptre. The last pages have been torn off.. |

Different crystals have different properties and can be chosen based on the specific intention of the spell or ritual. 3. Tools: Witches often have tools on their altar that they use during their practice. These tools may include a wand, athame (a ceremonial knife), a cauldron, a chalice, or a besom (a broomstick). 4. Natural elements: Many witches incorporate natural elements, such as plants, herbs, flowers, or feathers, into their altar to connect with nature and harness its energy. These items may also be used in rituals or spellwork. 5. Symbols or sigils: Witches often incorporate symbols or sigils on their altar to represent specific intentions or deities. These symbols can act as a focal point for energy and intention during rituals. 6. Books or grimoires: Many witches keep their books of spells, rituals, or personal reflections on their altar. These books hold valuable information and can also be used for inspiration and guidance during practice. 7. Offering dish: An offering dish is used to present offerings to deities, spirits, or ancestors. This can be food, drink, or other symbolic items that hold meaning in the particular tradition or practice. The arrangement and placement of these items on the altar can be customized by each witch. Some may have a specific layout or pattern, while others may simply arrange the items in a way that feels intuitively right to them. The altar is personalized and serves as a sacred space for the witch to connect with their craft and the energies they work with..
Reviews for "The Sacred Geometry of Wotch Altar Items"
1. Laura - 1 star
I purchased the Wotch altar items and I was extremely disappointed with the quality. The materials used were cheap and flimsy, and the overall craftsmanship was subpar. The colors were dull and faded, and the design looked nothing like what was advertised. I had high hopes for these items to enhance my altar, but instead, they just brought down the aesthetic. I would not recommend these products to anyone looking for reliable and visually appealing altar items.
2. David - 2 stars
I was quite underwhelmed with the Wotch altar items I purchased. The descriptions on the website made them seem so much more impressive than they actually were. The crystals included looked completely different from the photos, and they were much smaller than I expected. The candles were also mediocre, with weak scents that didn't fill the room as promised. Overall, the items lacked the quality and charm I was hoping for and I would advise others to explore alternative options for their altar needs.
3. Sarah - 2 stars
The Wotch altar items fell short of my expectations. The packaging was lackluster, with no effort to ensure the items arrived safely. The incense sticks smelled stale, and the holder itself was poorly made, barely staying upright. The tarot cards included were of low quality, with a flimsy paper stock that easily tore. Unfortunately, this purchase was a disappointment and I will be looking elsewhere for better quality and attention to detail when it comes to altar supplies.

I regret purchasing the Wotch altar items. The athame I received was not sharp at all; it couldn't even slice through a piece of paper. The altar cloth had frayed edges, making it look cheap and poorly made. The ritual oils had leaked during shipping, leaving a mess in the package. Overall, the quality and functionality of the items were far below my expectations. I highly discourage others from wasting their money on these disappointing products.
