Challenge Entry: Magick on the Go – Wandering Witch
I decided to make a few travel altars of various sizes.
The first is a pocket sized model made with a tiny pill container.
The lid has an insert of an image of a dragon (taken from an incense package) to represent the element of fire.
The shell is for the element of water.
The feather is for the element of air.
The element of earth is represented by the amethyst chip.
There is a tiny piece of paper included with the chant on it.
The second travel altar fits into a lozenge tin.
It contains: orange thread, yellow thread, a black hair elastic to keep the tin closed, 3 symbols (the goddess, the pentacle, the god), matches, altar cloth, besom, thimble for a chalice, flat stone, tea light, incense cone, cocktail stick for a sword, bell, wand, and 3 tiny plastic bags with 3 crystals, rosemary, and sea salt.
The third travel altar fits into a retrofitted necklace box lined with holographic star patterned paper.
It contains: goddess and god symbols, matches, fennel seed, 9 crystal chips, sea salt, metal medallion with pentagram drawn on it, tea light, feather, butterfly charm, gold key, dime, flat pebble, button with dragon image, dragonfly charm, shell with hole, safety pin, copper necklace with star, plastic box for charms, altar cloth, thimble, black obsidian athame, bell, wand, and 9 different colored ribbons wrapped on a card.
It was fun going through the junk drawers, sewing kit, scrapbooking supplies, and the attic looking for items, and then trying to get them all to fit in the containers.
One mishap though, the hinge on the necklace box snapped as I was packing it up, so it needs a repair or maybe I can find a nice box at one of the dollar stores and craft something witchy for the next catch-up challenge, because I have used up all three entries this time around.
