A little while ago I made a post about witchcraft in the office. In that post, I mentioned mini altars and said that I didn’t have one. Over the summer I decided subtlety regarding my craft was only to pacify those around me and that I shouldn’t hide an important aspect of myself to make others more comfortable. If a coworker can have a cross at their desk it’s perfectly reasonable for me to have an altar.

As it turns out, no one even noticed. What started out as a small cactus and some polished amethyst quickly developed into the image below. Currently, I have my cactus, Leslie Knope candle, several scavenged gifts courtesy of my fiance, a spoon charm from a friend because I’m a spoonie, an amethyst geode and polished bits, and a ginger pumpkin sigil candle. For me, it’s important to have those safe spaces altars create. I need a place of comfort in my hectic office.
