🎎 Weekly Witchy CHALLENGE - A Witch's Collection

I’m trying not to go too overboard with photos but… I may not succeed :laughing:

Let’s start with the biggest one first - my gemstone and crystal collection. You can see the bulk of the photos here but this little bowl sits on my desk currently.


Most of the stones/crystals are from my jewelry business, leftover supplies from when I made beaded creations. I still pick up rocks and stones that call to me during my runs.

Next would be my feather collection. Before anyone angrily @s me about this topic - I will put up this information. Yes, I am aware that in the United States possessing feathers from a species of bird protected by the migratory act, no matter how they were found, is illegal. And FWIW, most species in the United States are covered by that law. Here’s more in-depth information on it - https://foundfeathers.org/2021/11/23/collecting-bird-feathers-in-the-us/ . I do not sell any of my feathers, nor are they used in any craft/art project that I sell or give away. That being said :dash:, they are an item that I run across almost every time I step outside. They call to me. I don’t know what it is about them but it’s hard to pass one up when I find one.



I guess the next would be a newer collection for me. First fed by my magickal practice and then by my herbalism studies and training… herbs!




Semi-related is my pressed flower and plant collection.

I am for sure a science nerd and trained to take field notes of observations and that led me to press flowers first for herbarium cards, but then for use in crafts and projects.

Books in general but also specific magickal texts and herbalism texts. As well as my absolute love of blank journals waiting to be filled!



Terrariums(and one planted aquarium)





Dead bugs and bones that I’ve found (blurred for those who don’t want to view)

Flower crowns

Tarot & Oracle Decks


Mini deity statues (with more journals behind them!

Random seeds and things

And not directly related to my practice but since I saw both of these while taking photos of the others…
Running tutus


and prints from the animals who’ve passed from my work

Too much? :rofl: maybe so. Most of my collections, I make an effort to find free items or create the item myself so as to keep spending down some. In any case, I enjoyed sharing my collections and I hope you enjoyed peeking into my world of stuff.

Weekly Witchy Challenge Entry

There are three things that I ‘collect’ for my craft:

  1. Books, books and books. I also ahem collect books. :wink: At any given time, I am reading 2-3 books on witchcraft. I just completed “The Historiography of Horny Things”, which was fantastic by the way, and am currently reading The Picatrix and Regardie’s Golden Dawn.

  2. I have been fortunate enough to obtain a few amazing tarot and oracle decks. Each provides a slightly different ‘view’, if you will. One habit I’ve developed is to use my Angel and my demon decks together. I find the insight unparalleled.

  3. I also have a lovely collection of herbs. One thing about hoodoo in particular is that there are certain specific herbs that are used that one may not find too easily. Here is where being able to substitute is a blessed thing!

One thing, I was living in a different state for part of 2022. I ordered a set of crystals/minerals that didn’t arrive. So, I ordered it again. When I returned home, the first order was waiting for me, along with my original set. :blush: So, even though it can never be said that I collect them, I ended up with three lovely sets! :rofl:

A section of my humble altar -

Oh, my Goddess, I am soo excited about this one!! I have been reading tarot and oracle cards for nearly 25 years now, so I have amassed quite a collection. I have well over 100 decks by now. I also have a crazy amount of crystals- definitely hundreds of those, too! This is going to be fun!! :grinning: :heart:

Greetings! My challenge-entry seems so minimal compared to some of the amazing collections the coven members have been sharing :star_struck:, but here goes:

My witchy items this far seem to be increasing in 2 areas and could very well turn into legit collections:

  1. Everything Celtic
  2. The Moon

This was not intentional, it’s where my path keeps leading me!

I had to take a photo of my new :crescent_moon: pillow (I should have never stepped foot in Michael’s :joy:) separately as it wouldn’t fit in frame. Most of my other moon items are jewelry with the moon phases on them! Also, I threw in a pic of my Funko pops :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: Non-witchy, but a fun collection! :snowflake:

Challenge Entry

:wave: OCD me has to share, I finished all “my collecting” (I would have to say it is collecting at this point, but I’m probably never going to be done) and organizing and here is the result of my funny wired brain. (and yes, lots of things are still wrapped, my granddaughter and I are doing our full out “on new stuff” cleansing and blessing ritual this weekend, it will be our first ritual and first spellwork together, we’re so excited).

Oh and I’m now the queen of train cases according to my daughters and granddaughter!

This is our intention writing case

This is our smoking/incense case

This is our spell jar/bag case

These are our handy dandy portable altars and our lovely new altar cloths

These are our altar cases

Our new apothecary cabinet

Our crystal collection and the new ones and crystal confetti I’m trying to identify (what a chore)

Our apothecary sets with the candy boxes I repurposed with my scrapbooking goodies

Our witchy salt bowls ready to go


And last but not the least, this lovely find, our antique ritual tea set. I found this in a quaint little antique shop and the wonderful owner of the shop told me it actually belonged to her parents. They grew up together and were high school sweethearts and right after graduation with plans to marry, her dad was drafted and was going overseas. He asked his sweetie if she would wait for him… She said heck no! I’m coming with you! They are both in their mid 80’s, still married, still hold hands on walks and have a HUGE family. This beautiful set was purchased over there and brought home with them.
I love this, and I love the energy that this tea set has, I will never cleanse this set.

Oh and just so you know how bad my OCD is, I also collect scrapbooking stuff :crazy_face: and spreadsheets :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: !



and I didn’t take a pic of the other wall LOL!

I love everyone’s entries, so many wonderful things!

Blessed Be.
