Sunshiny Sunday Sweet Spellmakers, I thought this might be of interest to anyone who may be having problems practicing due to their environment. When there is too much going on here, and I cannot go in the back yard to my altar stump, I just close the door and stand at my bed, make circle, or I use the bathroom. I have used the bathroom often. I like to use the mirror and candles for scrying.🕯 I also have a small, portable altar in a tin box (Altoids, Curiously Strong Mints 😜). I have feathers for Air, lighter for Fire, a small shell I found on the beach years ago for Water, and assorted, coins, marble, bark, for Earth, and the blade of a broken, black, obsidian athame for my wand. I keep it “loaded” and ready to go at a moments notice. You do not need to worry about doing it “right”. If your heart and soul and whole being are there actively when you practice, then you **are** doing it “ **right** ” Witchcraft is personal and individual. Wicca is more ritualistic. You can be/practice one without the other, they are not inter-changeable but similar. So do as you feel called. If it works for you than you are doing it right. Just a little conversation starter about how/when/where/why we practice. Lady Gene 🐦‍🔥 ---

Lovely topic, Lady Gene. The Altoid tin altar is a classic! I’ve always thought those were so cute. 🤍 These are some lovely ideas. The reason behind my practice is like you say, deeply personal. But as some might remember, I am neither a witch nor a wiccan. As always, I am an anomaly lol. [For the sake of keeping this on-topic, I won’t be sharing the details of my practice.] Cheers. ---

It is a challenge for sure! > [@Lady-Gene](#): > > Witchcraft is personal and individual. Wicca is more ritualistic. You can be/practice one without the other, they are not inter-changeable but similar. This is also very good to know. Many of the books I have read are heavily Wiccan and I don’t feel like it really fits what I want. I was wondering if this meant I wasn’t meant to be a witch the way I’ve always wanted. Thank you for the insight (again!).
