March 1: The Altar

Since ancient times, homes have had altars or sacred spaces dedicated to honoring deities and spirits. People would burn candles , offer incense , and leave offerings in hopes of receiving blessings.

For witches, an altar isn’t just a place to set tools—it’s a powerful focal point for magical and spiritual work . Just standing in front of it can help shift you into the right mindset for rituals or spellwork. It’s also a visual reminder to stay spiritually connected. If life gets chaotic, seeing your altar can be a gentle nudge:

“Hey, it’s been a while since I did something spiritual.”

Not everyone can have a visible altar, and that’s okay! Your sacred space doesn’t need to be obvious to be powerful. If you can’t display statues of deities, use natural items instead:

Abalone shell for water

Feather for air

Red stone or candle for fire

Rock or crystal for earth

People might just think you love nature—and they wouldn’t be wrong.

TRY THIS: If you don’t already have an altar, create one—even if it’s small. If you do have one, stand before it and make an offering to your household spirits or simply say hello.
