My altar always feels a bit stuck this time of year. By February I’m usually ready to shake away the darkness but not interested in the thought of spring. Could we get ten feet of snow next week? Will tulips bloom? Who knows. Punxsutawney Phil can’t be trusted.🦫
I created my witch’s ladder with willow and wove broomweed and asparagus throughout. (I posted a reel a couple of weeks ago on how to make the base.) I also made myself a Valentine’s folk Mary to fit this month’s theme of love. After Sunday’s full moon in Leo it all feels supercharged.
My favorite crystals have always been towers but I’m starting to lean toward unpolished. Also a big fan recently of tiny bowls with tiny rocks. I suspect it’s my inner crone emerging.🧙🏼♀️
