I always see blog posts about Wiccan stuff, but never how to actually make many those things in any detail, such as the wand post you have which I thought was great! My altar was done on the cheap. Like, super cheap. I have no money for figurines. I printed some beautiful art work to rep the god/dess and put them in dollar store picture frames. Took up less space on the altar, so win/win. I used small glass cups, filled with pebbles from my backyard, and dollar store taper candles. Voila, candle holders for the god/dess candles. My reps for the elements are a couple shells, a small bowl with acorns a friend picked from the ground, my incense burner, and a cheap feather quill pen I was gifted once upon a time. The most expensive item is the fancy chalice I bought for $20 as a gift to myself. And one of my mentors' altar is so discreet, for years I had no idea that's what it was. My group of friends are into renaissance fairs and fantasy genres, so we all have some "weird stuff" around our homes. She had a huge array of fun oddities on top of her dresser, so I thought it was just a bunch of knickknacks on display. Nope, it was an altar! So discreet. If you're in the broom closet, that could be a way to go to have an altar out in the open, but hidden in plain sight. If you're like us, get a fancy goblet, some crystals, a weird looking stick or something as a wand, and people will probably just think it's decoration. If you have pentagrams or other obviously occult-like items, those can be in a small locked jewelry box behind some books or tucked away in a drawer that you can take out when needed. So anyway, as you can see, it's so easy to make an altar on a budget or a secret altar. My cauldron was a gift as well, but it's really an old cast iron pot.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08946389609600805651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3795649715081120165.post-42131087268327209452015-08-19T06:18:17.391-07:002015-08-19T06:18:17.391-07:00@Desi Simm The book is made from completely all na...@Desi Simm The book is made from completely all natural recycled paper, unfortunately since the paper is bound, it can't be removed from the book. If you ever wanted to make your own book, definitely check out Book Binding tutorials! As for the aging process, typically I paint the pages but you can also burn the edges!<br />Bright Blessings,<br />~Brittany<br />EireCrescenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01536202954860768411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3795649715081120165.post-59902840061752286852015-08-14T01:35:04.211-07:002015-08-14T01:35:04.211-07:00Dear Brittany,

Can we remove or add pages?

That's where about 95% of my stuff is from. Goodwill is great for glass goblets and candle holders. I always feel like things like that make an altar more special.<br />Saving money is nice, too hahaAmanda Halehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02155563428131030883noreply@blogger.com
