â Gotta get some shit done and some of it involves my cauldron.â That is either a t-shirt or a witchy do-not-disturb door hanger.đ
I am listening to this while I make my first poppet... Which I got inspired to do while reading your book. Because it gave me a "I've been a witch for 20 years and never made a poppet. Wtf?" moment.
The flower you found in the street is a gift from your spirits. I have a all pink Altar with hearts and flowers. So one day as i was walking a path i walk often i saw a huge beautiful hot pink cloth flower oddly sticking out the side of a building. It is now a very pretty item on my Love Altar.
I totally agree that it was gifted! Thanks for sharing your story x
I was genuinely invested in that entire video! NONE of it was boring! đ And I don't even have an altar. But let's be honest, I'd watch Kelly do anything reallyâ„ïžđ Beautiful result!
Nagchampa incense is based on a specific type of resin called halmaddi in India, combined with Champaca flower oilsđđđș
I loved the story about the artificial flower being gifted to you by spirit. Gives me a bit more faith hearing about synchronicity like that.
I like hearing you say "my sweethearts" "my darlings" I automatically feel close to you. also you are the only one so far I saw with a combination in your altar. that's how I am doing as well.. thank you ..
so much fun to watch already and im only 13 minutes in. Whenever I change my altar its a whole day affair as I make a HUGE disaster of a mess of chaos while i decide what i want to go on my altar. Love this so much
For real, it always gets cluttered and disastrous before it becomes immaculate!
Beautiful, I just recently changed mine up and it's kinda got a peachy/pink look to it... when the snake came to me, I kinda wondered why..Wasn't long after I found a stick that resembled a real snake in the woods, that I took home, cleaned it up, and stained it glued some really nice crystals to it and now it sits on my chest and overlooks my bed. But the story to it is that I kept feeling the snake but couldn't figure out why, I started researching them more, then it hit me wisdom and knowledge and got that ah ha moment right when I found the real deal in my upstairs bedroom window..A live one I had no idea I had been sleeping with which somehow crawled in and got between the walls where my window overlooked the main yard/road...Then is when i knew I had made a great connection with the snake...Don't always trust those that seem to be close, (what also had come through when the snake came to me/it taught me a lot about myself with others at the timing it showed up) so when the snake comes, take upon its spiritual call there's always a great reason why it keeps calling, usually, there is a great message to take on and learn from..Just be careful cause they can warn us also...Great vid...
It makes me so happy to see the tarot card I made for you, I'm so glad you like it!! I'm in the same mode of switching up the full decorative altar for am empty working one. Loved this video Kelly-Ann đđŹ
That art piece is gorgeous
That card is amazing. đ€
I love working through Rebel Witch. I have a makeshift spiritual practice that felt really unstable and building one from the ground up on stronger foundation feels AMAZING.
I tried to redecorate my altar for this occasion with this video in the background but it ended up looking the same but cleaner. Oh well, maybe I don't have to change what's already good :)
Ooooooooh you used the Hel I sent you! I am ridiculously honored lol.
I love the idea of a self love puppet! Thanks for sharing, your new altar looks fabulous!
Thanks Kelly-ann this video was not boring at all, I always really enjoy watching other witches decorate their alters! But what I realized some time ago is that for me personally I like a more minimalistic alter. When I first started playing around with witchy workings and stuff I watched a lot of witches that had packed alters like you have. Alters with a lot of bits and pieces and so I went out and got a lot of lovely things and had a packed alter as well, because I think they look really cool. But I realized, that that is too much for me and it overwhelms me. And it took me a little time to allow myself to follow that instinct and put away everything. And after some days of having a total empty Alter I allowed it to be filled with only the stuff I really needed and wanted. And sometimes that is only a candle, some plants, a salt lamp and a deck of cards that I am using. And I really love it that way! I thought I would share the here and maybe someone can relate to like having a more minimalistic "empty" not empty alter.
much love
I love it. I think you should put some of your own art in the frame that needs something in it. I love your art and you might make something with your own power for it. It could be really cool with our workings. It would be a nice balance. I love Medusa so I get the snake thing totally. đđđ
Oooh some of my own art would be interesting. I also thought about possibly using one of the talismans from my book! There are three illustrations inside the book with words of power connected to them that I really love - I think one of them could be a strong contender. As for the snakes, I literally found some righteous snake earrings a couple of days after filming this and I bought them, and I have been seeing snakes everywhere. I have long had a respect and love for Medusa and hoped we would get closer. Maybe our time is coming..
I'm about to move into a new home and I'm using the opportunity to change the way I work magick. In this transitional space I'm in, back home in the closet in my parent's house, I'm trying to figure out how I want my practice to look while being much more subdued. This was some nice inspiration for getting back into thinking about revamping my practice! You have such a unique way of working and setting up your alter that I've always found very inspiring, such a difference from the very traditionally aesthetically driven altars I see often. Love your videos!
I love the videos that let us "hang out" with you in your space! Today I needed an escape from my own space, so...yeah.
When an incense cone may or may not have gone out and I'm afraid to touch it with my fingers, I find tiny tongs (the sort meant for adding a sugar cube to one's tea) to be the perfect tool for the job.
At the risk of sounding like an idiot: How do you identify "fire proof" dishes? If something isn't made of cast iron or labeled as an ashtray, I'm always afraid to try it. Is it really as simple as setting fire to something in/on it and seeing what happens? I have nightmarish visions of exploding ceramic!
Honestly, my fire proof dish was advertised as 'fire proof' haha! So that's how I knew! ;)
And yes, tongs are a MUST. I don't have a little set for the altar anymore and I need to procure some! x
It can be useful to think about what kinds of materials you can put in the oven, like pyrex glass. If itâs not oven-safe, itâs likely not fire-safe, either :)
Kelly-Ann if you're wondering if this video was worth it, I've now watched this 3 times. I come back to it when I need inspiration for altar change ups.
listening to you rummage around with the crockery while off screen, oh here we go, this is the one I want...so much fun!
Loved this! Iâm in the market for a more permanent altar space, right now I keep all my witchy stuff in an ottoman under my bedroom window so i have to take out whatever I want to use and put it back afterwards so that I can always access the stuff inside. Itâs a perfect storage place but Iâd love to have a more permanent space eventually!
Because of a can't walk situation my altar is my kitchen windowsill above my sink. No, it's not perfect, but that will all change after my surgery. It has served its purpose while movement was difficult for me. It will probably always be my seasonal altar from now on.
Working with the energy of the snake is powerful!! Loved this video
i love seeing your thought process as you organize everything, it's so relatable lmao
What perfect timing! I had a ton of housework to get done this morning, and I thought, "I wonder if there's any good videos of a reasonable length to keep me company?" This is exactly what I didn't know I felt like đ
I'm not a big fan of goloka, though I've only tried their frankincense resin - but the box is so pretty! Thanks for sharing your process, this was fun! xx
'This is exactly what I didn't know I felt like'. Hehe, yes, that is the best kind of video to provide someone with!
Such an inspiring video, thank you for sharing such an intimate view of your working Altar. đź My favorite item was that gorgeous Tarot portrait of you⊠the perfect item to include to embody this action oriented time in your life. âš For myself, I am going to *run* to my Altar to assemble a power jewelry bowl. đżâš
Blessed be Kelly-Ann!
Beautiful altar as always Kelly. I full on go into panic mode when thinking of taking my spiritual guides off my altar, as I like to call them to all my workings. Keep us posted on how it's working for you putting them in separate spaces, as well as still on your main working altar. I feel like them being spaced out will have them surrounding you, which isn't a bad thing at all :)
Honestly, it's so interesting when you change something you never thought you would, you know? I had Hel and Mary at the two wings of my altar for ages! But it's time for a change, finally. And yes, I will definitely keep you updated on how it turns out. I'm still playing with rearranging things on the other altar. x
Thanks for showing off your Royal Daltons with the hand painted periwinkles.
Love, love, love, this video! I'm always tinkering around my main altar. I like having it active, but it can get cluttered very quickly so I try to tame it as much as possible. Having power jewelry sounds awesome and now I'm going to be on the lookout for a few pieces of my own. I have a couple of rings I made for protection and prosperity that I like to wear. I recently started anointing them with corresponding oils. Also, as a self-harmer (who's been in remission) I totally appreciate the razor blade pendent. It's beautiful and the quote is perfect.
I love watching you work and listening to your rambles âșïžâ€ïž I can relate so much to the comment of âOh, thereâs money on here...that must have made sense to me at some point.â I find something interesting and surprising every time I clean my Altar đ
Loved this, not boring at all! Iâd love a working altar, donât have the room. And funny, Iâm really struggling to move into active witch mode recently.
I was so excited to see a few copies of Rebel Witch in my little independent book store in SW Colorado. I havenât been back to take a picture for you but I will. It is displayed cover out so itâs highlighted in the case. Congratulations! And I always enjoy a good altar set up video I love seeing how others set up their sacred space
I recently redid my altar as it just wasn't feeling like me anymore, you know? Now I love it. I've never used an altar cloth, tried it once and didn't jive with it. I think the altar is harder to dust with a cloth on it đ
I love green glass and have been on the hunt for something to put my hamster's ashes in, but I havenât found the right piece yet.
I love this new layout you have, especially down the middle, and that little princess gingerbread lunchbox house is adorable đ
Yeah I hear you about dust and altar cloths! But I just love the look of them, damnit, haha! Ahh, I love that you're feeling the pink gingerbread lunchbox! x
@@LotusMira omg that's an incredible idea!
@@kelly-annmaddox I have a tip for the dust/mess + altar cloth thing! It's something I've done for ages. I get a piece of glass cut for the size of my altar top, then lay the altar cloth (and/or symbols, prayer cards, or anything I want to be visible) under the glass. I can swap out cloths, etc., underneath the glass and they are protected from getting dirty, and I can get dust, ash, wax, oils, or whatever on top of the glass and it cleans right off. You can basically create a collage under it if you want to, and it's nice and safe.
My crystal ball is the centerpiece of my altar. I do holodeck and Q meditations. YUM.
ok, got to the end and you ask what we think - I really enjoyed the whole video, sharing how much fun you have with your witchy practice is so wonderfully infectious, like the way a joyful smile makes a person want to smile back. So many witchy content creators seem to take themselves so seriously and make the whole thing seem so unapproachable and all cloak and dagger. You never take your practice and the significance of what you do lightly, that's not what I mean, but the joy and the fizz that you share here is a gift! đ
Thank you for the detail! I canât have a working altar because Iâm not out of the broom closet. I do a lot of my workings in the garden and reserve my altar space for prayer.
LOVE that mirror
Beautiful working space âșïž
I love that personalised tarot card - so awesome.
Watching this vid, I feel like somewhere in the universe you are a sister from another mister lol. Iâm feeling that disco ball - lemon,orange,eucalyptus oil jive hahahahah
My altar space needs a real big change around - I found some things âfallenâ or âmovedâ. Could have been a spirit, could have been the hubby or could have been me sleep walking. Whatever it is, itâs telling me âchange me upâ hahahahah
Love to you Kelly-Ann x
Love these types of videos! I know itâs very private to you but would love love love to see a spell being performed or a ritual. I think that would be so amazing. I recently had a re-jig of my altar space too. My altars are always very empty at the front because thatâs where I like to pull cards and journal etc. The back of the desk is where I have all the little nick nacks and tools. I may have to purchase some cone incense and a holder , my big incense holder does take up quite a lot of room so I think the smaller ones would be really handy. Thank u for sharing đđđđźđ
I've just recently moved a few things around on one side to make room for a framed picture of my goddess and things related to her. I have a long coffee table, low to the ground altar. I sit in front and have the middle to work in. It's always been a working altar and I now have goddess related on left & ancestor related on right. I'm very grateful for such a large altar. It's about time to take it all down and clean & put back together though! I'm very excited for you to be busy bee working Kelly-Ann! May all your workings & rituals go well and have the intended outcomes. Thank you for sharing as I know myself & many who are interested in how others look & operate. Happy summer love! XX
That triptych mirror is the đđđ€€
So calming and inspiring to watch! I recently moved my altar space from my bookshelf over to my windowsill and it's a lot nicer to work with now! In the process of moving it also got decluttered a bit and it gets a lot more daylight now. The added light also inspired me to do more morning workings, waking up and opening the curtains to reveal the altar together with the morning light is wonderful!
Really enjoyed this, and my Virgo moon could never get bored watching anyone organise their altar đ The finished result looks great! đźđ
6 minutes in this video, and i've already needed to pause it twice to move things around on my own set up.
I recently changed up my Bridget altar during Spring cleaning. I also have a small altar to Mother Mary and Mother Nature. I found this video to be very inspiring.
Oooh amazing - love the themes of those altars! x
I thought "how cool to have an altar space to mother nature!" then realized my whole living spaces are devoted to mother nature hahah
Really pulling on my desire to buy more jewellery now, which is funny because I only tend to wear it when I'm going to the office (so, like, once a week these days) might be time to charge up some power jewellery from my existing (not small) collection and just... Wear It đ
Just wanted to say that I love that you're a published author now but still do these more personal style videos!
Thank you for a wonderful video â„ïžđ definitely gave me some wonderful ideas since I've recently moved and will have to arrange my altars different.
*Altar
Lovely! Perfect to listen to as I change up my altar. :)
"IF" there was anything interesting, lol. It's ALL wonderful! In particular, I appreciate the RC trinkets you tend to add because I vibe with it. It's curious how I learned that witchcraft and RC must be kept separate. Growing up RC meant not ever having anything witchy because that would be sacrilegious. My adult life has been pagan and witchified but letting go of those RC roots is tough and decidedly, unnecessary. I still pray to St-Antoine de Padou, MĂšre Cabrini, St-Francois d'Assise, AND my cars have always had angels and St-Christophe on the visor or dashboard. When you pulled out St-Christopher, I said "Damn, Kelly Ann vibes with my jam!". Also, I must say that I have always had some disco balls around but it's representative of my vision of deity, really. I dangle them from the ceiling or wall fixtures and never thought to put one on the altar. Some folks talk about deity like a diamond with various facets but that just seems uneven to me. I like for all facets of of deity to mirror the light that surrounds it, with equally divided facets. You have chaplets with crucifixes which is very traditionally RC but crucifixes give me the hibi-gibies. I might as well be praying with a guillotine on my chaplet, or a noose. That's just me, babe. Luv you, Kelly Ann. We all do! Muahs! Thank you for the altar tour.
Oh, exciting! I was waiting for this one since you talked about it in your live. I still love that mirror
Thank you for the tour. Love your explanations, and placing things with purpose. The snake is good for shedding the old, rebirth, renewal etc..
not boring at all, really useful. Plus just lovely to chill with a cuppa and see your process :)
I thoroughly enjoyed this! I do not yet live where I can have an altar, but seeing the thought process behind your placement really helped me plan out my future altar
Iâve too have felt the need to rearrange my altar but havenât done it yet. Looks lovely, I enjoyed this video
Thank you, this was really in tune with me right now (as you know)! Our last chat really unblocked something for me, Iâm all overflowing with doing-ness!!! I hope you and your new altar have an amazing summer!
I am lucky enough to have a separate temple space with multiple altars. I have one which I consider a working altar, but which doesn't have a lot of space, so I need to change and switch things up a bit. On top of my secretaire I have a little ancestor altar and an altar for creativity. And then on the walls I have three small shelves, one for each deity that I have a close bond with. The temple space is quite new, so I'm still figuring things out as I go, but I've always loved having an altar and usually change it quite frequently. Loved this little trip along with you, and I am very curious to see your other altar spaces!
My altar is seasonal on the perifery, with a devotional area for Venus and the center space is a working space
Loved this. My "altar" is a small area on top of my knicker and sock drawers đ€Šđ»ââïž Currently dusty with a Brigid candle and some other stuff that doesn't belong there! My beautiful May altar with fresh flowers and a Mary statue doesn't happen for May. Really want to do something more with it.
im in love with that mirror tho!!
Also, by the way. You were talking about if we wanted more info on the poppet to check out your other video. Sweetie, where is the mention of your book?! Plug that! Make sure that everyone reads it, because it is amazing
This was so fun to watch! Moving house next week which always ends up with quite a dramatic altar change so I've taken a bit of inspiration
This video was very enjoyable! Not a boring moment to be had. :) I'm wondering if you feel comfortable telling us more about the special stone at 39:47! It makes an appearance in your 2018 altar tour video too. I'm a sucker for rocks in general and I've got plenty of my own with sentimental value so I love hearing other people's treasured rock stories.
i do love your new altar set up
I just added 3 'rescued' orchids to my altar. My altar is static and my two cats are sometimes my 'altar egos'.
I love watching altar setup/tours đâ„ïž When setting up a spiritual altar space myself I find everything has to be symmetrical and I'm not happy until it feels right đ
at some point might you be comfortable to discuss with us what the process is like where you determine/discover/plan/say to yourself/realize "Oh! I'm going to be doing this kind of working."? i'd love that kind of discussion. Hope my question made sense.
Ooooh that sounds like a good video! Great idea, let me think about it x
@@kelly-annmaddox thank you for your consideration! Appreciate it regardless of what you choose.
I second this idea!
âSkull Dugeryâ & âTom Fooleryâ đ
I have a st Christopher pendant. It use to be my grandads and has been in the family for ages. But I donât wear it cause Iâm scared Iâll lose it
i loooove your setup! definitely inspiring, and i love your items, i have a very similar aesthetic and process with my altar(s).
how often do you clean and dust your space tho?? i find it a bit blasphemous to let the dust build up, but also i have chronic fatigue so i canât handle cleaning out all my witchy nooks and crevices as often as i crave tbh đ
I also have found it sacrilegious to let the dust build up. Lol I'll use a lint roller meant for clothes to pull up all the bits of dust and cat hair.
This is making me think that it may be time to freshen up the altar. I haven't had the energy to go upstairs to that space since near the beginning of the pandemic. I put up a couple of shelves as a shrine space in the living room. We will see if this actually happens, or if it is an ADHD fancy of the moment. Lol.
I'd like to ask you about your nails, I'm struggling with keeping my nails nice as I used to do them with uv gel but they got too expensive for me. Are those your real nails? Are they artificial? They look so beautiful!
Also, Rebel Witch is enriching my soul these days, thank you from the deepest of my soul for writing it! Love you
Was going to ask you yesterday if you have gemini in your chart (like I do). Thx for answering my question. *chuckle* đ myself: Sun in cancer, moon in gemini, and rising in Capricorn.
I also work with Mary but my dark goddess is Hecate/Medusa and funny enough I also split them Mary on the left and Hecate on the right. The women of my family have always been connected to Mary in their Catholicism but then we also have some really strong Southern Italian ancestry and Hecate kind of stuck to me. I feel like my practice revolves around ancestry and ancient vs. traditional. I wonder if my ancestors worshipped in the cult of Hecate and then switched to Mary when Christianity took over. She feels like two faces of the same coin.
Please can you tell me where I can get the cast iron tray you have on your Altar, or similar? I can't seem to find anything heat proof and appropriate that doesn't involve a full on skillet on my Altar haha!
Welp, don't have a living room table now. It's now an altar in my room lol
Sorry just seeing this comment now. Very sorry to hear about your loss, that sounds like a nice tradition you have now though. Especially getting your dog a new toy! bet they love that â€ïž My uncle made his dog a birthday cake from a mixture specially for pets. đ„° Sending you love for the new year ahead - Dani đŠĄ
đđ
Hi. I've noticed that most CZcamsrs who talk or show this religion or way of life are female. I'm coming from a Christian background and want a way of life that reflects me more and my lifestyle.
There are lots of male witches and witches of all genders. đ„°
Male witch here! đ€đ
so from my understanding ATM I want to become an solitary eclectic practioner with the hopes of joining or creating my own coven because here in NB focus is mainly wicca from what I gathered. Plus I can't drive ATM so I can't go out of my way to go to things coven related 100% of the time. So yeah that's my path. Now I chose a deity to work under, self dedication with new magical name to introduce myself?
Should I wait a year and day to self dedicate or wait for a new moon đ
Sorry if this isn't the place to ask these just thought I'd get opinions from as many sources as I can so I can do this right the first time. I want take this seriously and not as a out of a whim or do it and.change my mind.
@@DarceyMckelvey Maybe slow down and start by asking yourself if that is what you want. Why you want it. What you hope to achieve by working with deity. Make it a process.
@@DarceyMckelvey congratulations on all of this by the way lol I'm excited for you.
Aw we have the same cauldron! And I totally feel like a basic bitch now cause there is incense burning in it as we speak đčđ
Every altar needs an alien đœ
Don't you have to cleanses every thing before you put all your stuff on your altar?
I usually prefer to consecrate and bless the altar entirely once it's all been set up. :) But I sometimes cleanse something separately if it's a new object that hasn't been used before.
I loved this video so much! Altar videos are my absolute favorite. Thanks for sharing!
