Alternatives to physical altars for witches and pagans who can’t practise openly:
If you don’t have the money or space for an altar or you live with someone who does not support your craft, there are a few altarnatives for you to consider:
A SMALL POCKET ALTAR INSIDE OF A MINT TIN
this could contain incense, prayer cards, a tea light, small crystals or some herbs
Pros:
- easy to hide and portable
- inconspicuous
- inexpensive
- simple to make
Cons:
- you can’t keep a lot of things in there
- you can’t really use it for offerings unless they are very small
- not very customisable
A DIGITAL ALTAR / GRIMOIRE
this could be in the form of a tumblr blog, a Pinterest board or a simple notes page
Pros:
- simple to make
- very customisable
- unlimited space
- easy to hide
- you can access it from anywhere
- you can get very creative with your spells and offerings
- useful for shadow work and divination, since you can document your progress
- very easy to navigate and organise
Cons:
- you can’t make physical offerings
- no physical spell work (like jars or candles)
A NOTEBOOK AS AN ALTAR
an analogue notebook that you can use like a mix of a journal / grimoire / altar
Pros:
- very versatile and customisable
- you can use it as an altar to place physical offerings on
- easily portable
- useful for a lot of different things
- great for small offerings (like pressed flowers and herbs, photos, drawings and poetry / prayer
- useful for shadow work and divination, since you can document your progress
- easy and cheap to make
- inconspicuous
Cons:
- no unlimited space, if you fill it up you need to buy a new one
- no offerings larger than the book
- difficult to navigate if you don’t have a good index system
- not great for physical spells like jars or candles
DIGITAL ALTAR IN VIDEO GAMES
this can be an altar space that you build in games like Minecraft or animal crossing
Pros:
- somewhat customisable
- very fun to build
- you can make offerings like Minecraft flowers or dressing your character up in clothes that remind you of your deity
- playing the game and putting energy into it can be an offering in itself
- unlimited space (depends of the game)
Cons:
- no physical offerings and very limited options for spells
- how much you can do depends a lot on the game
- good video games and consoles often cost money and are thus not accessible to everyone
- no (or very limited) options for writing down prayers and the like
- limited option for devotional acts
Whatever your altar space looks like and whether you even have one at all, remember that you are still valid and your gods love you and understand your situation.

Finally putting together my secret pocket altar to Lucifer! It’s made out of a metal preroll tin since he and I have bonded a lot over weed, and also because it semi-locks and it’s black lol.
I already glued in my Ghost crucifix since their music has had a huge place within my practice. I’m also thinking about a small twig from my Yule log, some personal notes or prayers to Lucifer, and maybe some wax from a candle if I decide to light one as I pray to him :) I was also thinking about a used match or my weed lighter when it runs out. Part of me wants to include the tip of a joint that I’d smoke as an offering, but part of me thinks saving the tip would be gross and potentially smelly. So I’m rethinking the idea haha.
If you have suggestions for secret/pocket altars, especially for Lucifer, I’d love to hear them! I’m awful at coming up with altar ideas 😅

I made a little pocket shrine for Dionysus 🥰
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It includes matches, candles, chicken bone, crayon, idol, vodka with purple glitter, and lyrics from Rocky Horror Picture Show
I’m going to add more iconography later but for now I’m so friggin happy with it :3!!

I’ve been looking for the perfect tin to keep a pocket altar in, and I finally found one at a thrift store! :) The tin originally had a candle in it, so I melted it out with hot water and kept the wax for later, since it smelled so nice. 
I also covered up the picture that was on the tin. I embroidered a simple fern onto a scrap of fabric, cut it to size and used some super glue to attach it to the lid (I also roughed up the top of the lid a bit to make sure it sticks). 
These are all the items I have inside so far: black tourmaline, a penny, tiger’s eye, labradourite, an ammonite fossil, obsidian and an old key. I also cut out a piece of black lacey fabric as an altar cloth (also for a bit of padding). 
There’s definitely some other stuff I’d like to add, like some sort of candle with some matches, maybe some salt too. 
But if anyone has suggestions on what else I should add, feel free to say so, I’d love some ideas and feedback! <|:^] <3

I'm planning on making a small pocket altar for Hephaestus this weekend, elements include
lighter
small candle
art depicting various symbols of his in place of a figure (an anvil, fire, mobility aids, and red poppies)
card for interpreting a pendulum
possibly some small igneous rocks if I can find them in our collection
a sigil on the inside of the tin (meaning tbd)

First, ill-researched draft of a pocket altar made out of an old Smashbox kit. Inside is a soup of epoxy, acrylic (oil and water, it turns out, doesn’t mix!), rue, hyssop, epsom salt and Mod Podge. It is soft, sad little seven layer taco of failure.
