Loved this Alison thank you. Yes herbs 🌿 often self-seed into our gardens when we need them most. Thanks for sharing your journey. Love and blessings 🙌🌻🙌
I love the authenticity of this video. Others have shown their used (I refuse to say messy cause of connotation and The Craft is naturally a messy practise) altars, but I can only think of one person that shared their cleaning process. It's good to normalise these things. Also love how you both physically and spiritually clean which I don't see a lot of people do either.
It's been the same here in the US. I don't want summer to be over, but I have felt the shift in the weather, since the end of July. I have been feeling the autumn wind coming through. I live in New England, in the South East. Just wanted to share that. I'm going to be reorganizing all my altars today, just the video I needed to watch this morning, thank you. Have a wonderful blessed day 🌙❤
As I left my house this morning there was a delicious chill in the air…things are definitely starting to turn! I hope you enjoy reorganising your altars and that you feel energised and happy after you’ve done them! Sending you much love xxx
I’ve been seeing a lot of news reports recently about how uncomfortable it’s been in some parts of the US recently- I really feel for you, I just know I wouldn’t be able to hack it. Stay safe and as as cool as you can x Thank you so much, I’m so glad you enjoyed my altar ☺️
Hey! Just came across your channel , and I love it already. The weather you’re speaking of I absolutely relate and I’m in Pennsylvania USA. It’s felt like fall since the middle of June for me!
Hello darling! Thank you so much for your lovely words! It seems that everyone is feeling the weather chaos at the moment. Right now, we are having a brief burst of summer but who knows what tomorrow will bring? 🤣 Thank you so much for being here xx
Thank you so much Emma. I love my little hare too, I think he looks very wise! He was really inexpensive and he was only from Sainsbury’s! I couldn’t believe my luck when I spotted him! 🥰
Inspired by your hallway altar, I have for the first time gathered all my magickal items and put them together in one place. As I moved house 2 months ago I know I still have some items packed in boxes but will find them soon. I sourced a dresser top that can be attached to the wall above a chest of drawers in my bedroom and am now building a permanent dedicated altar. I was actually quite emotional when I saw all my precious things gathered together in one place. Thank you so much for inspiring my practice which had fallen away recently 🙂
There’s something so lovely about having all your treasures in one place isn’t there? It’s like they have a united energy that just shines really brightly. I’m so happy that gathering yours together again has brought you joy. Thank you so much for watching ♥️
Merry meet. I am Susanna living in the US. I am a 69 year old crone. My ancestors came from Co.Antrim Belfast Northern Ireland. Thank you for sharing your alter…mine is very similar only located in my dining room. All my herbs are there and my great grandmother’s cauldrons are near for that extra magical power. Blessed be sister❤️
I was cleaning the house when I played this. Was a perfect accompaniment! Got all the windows open now and a warm breeze coming through...but yes I agree this weather is feeling like very early early Autumn but we haven't really had a proper summer yet it feels!
I used to live in Chesterfield (we moved to Durham last year) and I have noticed since 2018 how the seasons are out of wack - We had the bad snow storm in February that year and then there was the heat wave that lasted all summer. The climate has been quite unstable for some time. Over the winter in Durham, we didn't get the cold weather that I expected we would - as we are further north, I would have expected it to be colder, but I don't know enough about the local climate to tell what is normal for the summer and we are influenced by the coast. During the last few years of living in Chesterfield, I noticed that many of the plants were growing out of season, flowers that should have been around in spring and summer were around in late autumn, hedgehogs being out of hibernation in winter when they should have been asleep and trees losing their leaves early because of the summer heat. It's been troublesome for some time.
There are some real problems aren’t there? And they are only going to get worse, I fear. For a few years the changes have been very subtle but now they are right in our faces. Last year our neighbour made us a hanging basket for our wedding anniversary in May and it was still blooming like crazy in early November. It’s all wrong.
Love your Ravenclaw t shirt.wood holds the dirt.Ritchie,or Ringo star had a set of those bells when they were making the last Beatles song,now and then.they would be George Harrisons.love having your own mint from the garden Alison. Like the idea of taking negativity away.😊
Love your Beatles notes. You're absolutely right about George and I'm certain that's why Ringo used them. I didn't notice but I'll have another look at their video. I'm a huge Beatles fan! Thank you for sharing!
I agree the autumn vibes seem to be here early. I enjoyed watching this altar cleanse. I love the wolf handle on your dresser. My Dutch dresser seems to have become an impromptu altar, as well as a display for dungeons & dragons miniatures. It definitely needs a declutter 😂.
@@angbane it’s funny how the place seems to just suggest itself isn’t it? I’m glad you like my handle, it was sold to me as a fox but when it arrived it was definitely more wolf-like but I still loved it! I have bee handles on my bathroom cabinets and they are insanely cute 🐝
My Purdy & Figg just arrived. It's absolutely amazing! I love it! Why I've never heard of it before I don't know, but please do share more of your tested amazing products. )O( ❤❤❤
Ahh that’s brilliant!! I’m so glad you treated yourself and that you love it! I really enjoy it too, I love it at bedtime when I give the kitchen a final spray and wipe (I call it Putting the Kitchen to Bed ☺️) and it smells absolutely gorgeous! I’d be very happy to share more recommendations with you when I use something I really love! Thank you so much for watching xx
Weather has been not that good in S-W France. Two dayd of sun and two days of rain cycles with cool temperatures for mod July. Good cleaning of your altar. Lots of beautiful bits and pieces on it. Blessed be. 💚
Thank you for watching, and you are so welcome! I just blows my mind that we are making connections on the other side of the world. I hope you are doing ok. Many blessings on you and your incredible country ♥️♥️
Hello Alison, how lovely your altar looks!!! Beautiful , I particularly like your stick pentagram, I made myself some smaller ones and tied ribbons on and crystals and various charms 🍄
New to your channel. I appreciate your video and tips. Thank you! I am loving your working altar. It is beautiful and has some great energy. 🧡✨🕯️ I live in the states, and it’s been unbearable. I wish I were back in Scotland and England on holiday. The two best weeks I’ve had in a very very long time.
I am so glad you like my altar! It definitely woke up after I cleaned it. I have heard a lot of my American friends saying how horrendously hot it has been in their parts of the USA. I really hope you are managing to stay comfortable. I just know I would not be able to bear it. Please look after yourselves xxx
@@fifty-somethingwitch2406 it is starting to cool down. Thank goodness, an unusually hot summer. We moved into a new home. And have moved my altar twice in 2 months. Trying to figure out where it wants to live. I am sure they will let me know. Once again thank you for your videos. My husband actually found your page and had us watch a video of yours together. We both loved your content. Wishing you all the best 💜✨🕯️
@DavidAndCelinaGeisler I’m so touched that you and your husband watched together. That’s so adorable. Thank you so much for your kind words! Yes I am sure that your altar will tell you where it wants to be. I’m fascinated by other people’s spaces and practices so please do let me know when you get things in their final places! Many blessings to you both ♥️
I really enjoyed this; I admire your confidence in cleaning g the top of your altar - I’d have had to climb on a footstool to check that there weren’t any spiders lurking, rather than confidently wiping without checking!😂( or maybe you did check off camera?🙂). It’s good to see ‘reality’ - that altars/ things/ spaces, get dusty & untidy & need cleaning literally & not just spiritually. 😊🌸xxx
Ahh bless you ☺️ Nope, I just went for it. I never gave spiders a second thought to be honest. Hopefully they will have heard me coming and found a little bolthole somewhere! I actually love spiders in the house to be honest. They are highly protective and help to keep your home free from less welcome bugs. The only problem is that George loves to squash them so if we both spot one at the same time I have to break my neck to scoop it to safety 🤣
I used to have a huge phobia of spiders, to the point I couldn’t say the word! I’d shake, sweat & cry - not the small ones, although size can be subjective 😂 But I’m a lot better now. We have lots of cellar spiders ( those small bodies, spindly leg ones), & they seem to pop up randomly. I don’t have an issue with them as such but if they’re in our bedroom then they get caught in our spider catcher then relocated. Paul goes to bed first and does a check for me, then I check when I go to bed - there was a cheeky one suspended in a web ( I do dust/ decobweb regularly!) between my bedside table & our bed! I definitely had to relocate her/ him! 😂 Xx
I live in New England and it has been a horrible summer in the US, but complete opposite of yours. Extreme heat and humidity, drought, plants and flowers are drooping and yellow lawns. No one even wants to go outside. I'm just chilling in my home with central air. May I have some of your weather? I am excited for Lammas and just finished getting my altar ready. Earlier in the season we had a nice balance of sun and rain and plenty of haying going on. Hoping it will change in the next week or 2 for a decent harvest come Lammastide. Your altar looks lovely!
Oh my goodness, that sounds really unpleasant. I hope you are coping OK - stay cool and hydrated and look after yourself! We have had so much rain here with very few what I would call ‘real’ summer days. And already, it’s starting to get darker just that little bit earlier. But it is what it is, and we try to embrace every day and whatever it brings us! I am really glad you like my altar. Thank you so much for watching ☺️
Your altar looks so fab...I agree about the weather. Its the same here in Ireland.feels like autumn but to be honest autumn winter are my favourite seasons...your sea water sounds interesting. Love your tattoos
Your altar is beautiful, thanks for sharing how you clean and reset it. I still need to do mine, it's way overdue for a clean. Hope everything is well with you. Sorry I'm late viewing this. I took a few days off from social media, too much craziness going on in the world right now...
Another great video thank you. I love the tiny witches book you have and the glass witch shaped bottle. The bumble bee material is gorgeous too. A word of warning re: not opening your Lammas oracle cards. I ordered the Soul Cats Tarot and my hubby put it away to give me a couple of months later as a gift. However when I opened it and took the shrink wrap off the cards there was one missing! I contacted where I had purchased them from to be told that because it had gone 28 days she ‘couldn’t’ sort it out and told me to contact Llewellyn in America. Thankfully they were excellent and sent me the missing card straight away, however another company may not have been as easy to contact or as obliging. So I won’t ever leave a deck unopened now. Even if it’s to go away as a present I will open it and check all the cards etc are as they should be before it’s put away. 💕
Oh my goodness, thank you for the tip!! I will crack on and get mine opened when I get a quiet moment! I’m so glad you enjoyed by video, thank you so much for watching and for being here 🐝🌻
Hi there! This is the second video I have watched of yours, and I am loving them! New sub for sure! You have such a beautiful, authentic vibe, and thank you. ❤ My name is Lorri and I’m kind of in the broom closet, so it is really nice to have found your channel. You are very inspiring. ❤ I love your shirt! I’m a Ravenclaw too! My husband is a Slytherin. 😆 We live in the US, Midwest. It has been very hot, and smoky from fires in Canada. We still try to enjoy being in garden as much as possible. We hit the ground running with gardening in our town, especially as snow tends to show up in October and doesn’t leave till May! The Lammas oracle is on my wishlist. I think I’m going to purchase a copy 😊. I’m so happy I found your channel and I look forward to watching more of your videos. ❤❤❤
Hi Lorri! It’s lovely to hear from you and I’m so glad you are enjoying my channel. I hope you are managing to stay safe in what must be terrifying conditions. Sending you much love xxx
Another fascinating video! Love that you have peacock feathers in your jar. I'm sure your alter smells absolutely amazing. Thank you for sharing your life with us!
Beautiful altar. White Sage acts like a spiritual bleach, it removes all energy, leaving a void which you can fill with positive energy, smoke like Palo santo or sound. Its nice that the old couple stay Around though ❤
Beautiful altar! You have inspired me to attack mine this week. As far as weather, I am in the US, North Carolina. Basically, we are cooking down here. Upper 90s with heat index above 100F. Maybe i need to move over there. I prefer cool and not so much sun.
Oh my goodness, I really wouldn’t enjoy that - and my hair would absolutely hate the humidity! I hope you’re managing to keep cool and comfortable. I’m so glad you enjoyed my cleanup and thank you so much for watching! 🌻
Really enjoyed sharing your alter clean with you, was lovely to listen to you explaining as you went about the process, i thought thr format worked really well. Really enjoying your channel 😊 As ive said before i am a complete novice and most things you mention ive never even heard of but im someone who always felt energies and and was always ridiculed for mentioning them let alone saying i was affected by them so was really lovely to hear you talking about this type of thing so matter of factly!
@@SarahCalicoCat I’m so glad you enjoyed it and that you’re finding my channel helpful - that means so much to me. I understand what you mean about getting ridiculed for something that is so real to you. When I walk into a room I can feel the energy and emotions of every single person there. I have done everything since I was little, and I didn’t understand what was happening. I felt responsible for how they were feeling and I still do sometimes! Energy is a strange thing, to us it is something so tangible that we can almost see it. Yet some people go through life completely oblivious to it. It baffles me! ☺️
@fifty-somethingwitch2406 Absolutely!! Being told I'm being silly, imagining things or being overly sensitive but to me it's just as ordinary and real as hearing someone (or something for that matter) cry or laugh. Thank you for replying, I'm looking forward to learning lots more from your channel 💗💕
@@fifty-somethingwitch2406 I'm a clean and tidy person, but I am terrible at cleaning my altar, soooo much stuff to move. I make a ritual out of it like you do, I make my own Florida water to spiritually cleanse everything with after removing all the dust and incense ash, and I also hit it with smoke and bells! More is more 🤣 but yes I agree the difference in the energy after a reset is amazing isn't it? 😁🥰
@mamajusmagickalemporium2655 it really is! The whole hallway seemed to sparkle with energy after I’d finished! I have to say though that I really don’t mind my altar getting untidy and messy - it’s place of work and focus and creativity, it has a heart and its own energy and it is meant to be used! And cleaning it is a joy and a privilege ♥️
@@fifty-somethingwitch2406 I agree with this as well! It's a working space. Sometimes I have workings that last the whole waning or waxing moon phase, and there is no way I'm fettling my altar during that time, I need that energy to build! Xxx
I love these types of videos! Thanks so much for sharing, Alison. The altar looks great. I've got my gold bee earrings and necklace today 🐝 :) Blessed Be(e)!
The wood side bits you were cleaning are called Spindles. (my Dad was a carpenter lol) I can almost smell all the wonderful things you have. Thank you for sharing x
So glad to see you feeling better. Now, thats what i call cleaning!! Puts me to shame😂😂 Everything looked sparkly ✨️ ✨️✨️ Loved everything..especially your little hare... he is just too cute. Lovely video as always..💕💕💕
Love this! I could actually smell the essential oils as you were cleaning, weirdly. I'm now inspired to rearrange my own space - I love how you've got everything in one place. And yes to the Morrison's, I've got the same jar of cloves :) BB xxxx
Thank you Denise! I’m so glad you enjoyed it and I hope you enjoy sorting your own space out! And the Morrison’s spice jars are the BOMB!! I love them! ☺️☺️
I’m not sure about this, but maybe to keep your smoke bundles dry you could store them in a sealed glass jar with either some salt or those silica packs to keep things dry that are mailed to us. Much love to you and yours.
Thank you for sharing with us Alison. I've really enjoyed your video and you've inspired me to get cracking. Looking forward to your post next week. Thank you for bringibg this lovely community together x
Loved this video Alison ❤️Love how you showed your whole process 🥰 It’ll be lovely to see more videos like this. This is amazing so calm and a joy to watch. I also enjoy dip pens. Amazon have lost my Lammas deck. The photo is on someone else’s porch. I have to wait for another delivery of it. You’re altar is beautiful and everything in it 😍 Thank you 💕🪄✨🦋
@@VanessaKismetSmitten thank you so much darling. I’m so glad you enjoyed it, it was definitely a new experience for me. And if you’re wondering why the sage section ended quite abruptly- well it’s because the smoke alarm went off so I had to edit it out! 🤣 Oh dear, never mind! xxx
@@fifty-somethingwitch2406 Oh no! I’ve done that a couple of times and our fire alarm is sensitive which is good. It’s so loud that instead of me relaxing sageing or palo santoing I’m fanning the alarm with anxiety whew 😰 lol
What a wonderful video, even though it was your first time doing a video in this style I personally think you smashed it. It was lovely to come along with you as you did this. Thank you so much for showing the bells too, I absolutely love them, where did you find yours? They make a beautiful clear sound 🥰 take care xx
@@k-9385 oh you’re so kind, thank you so much! It was definitely a new experience for me and I was really nervous but I still enjoyed myself! My bells actually came from eBay! I was surprised by how nice they sound and by how heavy they are because they were not expensive. I’m really glad I got them ♥️
LOVELY ALTAR AS A MASTER HERBALIST, I HAVE A LOT OF THE THINGS YOU HAVE ON YOUR SHELVES THIS YR WE HAVE AN ABUNDANCE OF CAT MINT NEVER PLANTED IT JUST SEEDED ITSELF. I HOPE TO LEARN A LOT FROM YOU ON YOUR LOVELY CHANNEL. AFTER BEING A BORN AGAIN CHRISTIAN FOR 50 YRS I HAVE LOTS TO LEARN. IT IS VERY STRANGE MY WHOLE FAMILY JUST STOPPED BELIEVING IN GOD OF CHRISTIANS OVER 1 MONTH. THIS YR I KEPT THE RAVEN FEATHER LIKE YOU TOLD ME TO. I VISIT MY HAWTHORN TREES ALMOST DAILY WHEN THE WEATHER ISN'T TO HOT. HERE IT HAS BEEN IN THE 90S BUT COOLER IN THE MORNINGS. WHEN YOU MENTIONED FALL WAS COMING EARLY MY RASPBERRY'S WHICH USUALLY COME IN LATER AUGUST ARE IN FULL BLOOM AND WE HAVE BEEN EATING FROM THEM FOR TWO WEEKS. NOW .SOMETHING STRANGE IS HAPPENING BLESSINGS FROM A NEW WITCH/PAGAN STILL CANT FIGURE OUT WHICH ONE I AM. A;THOUGH I DID PRACTICE A FORM OF WITCH CRAFT BEFORE BECOMING A CHRISTIAN. HAVE A BLESSED DAY COLLEEN IN CANADA
Thank you so much for your kind words, I really appreciate them. And I’m so glad that you kept the raven feather- it was clearly meant for you! Sending you many blessings xxx
I love your Ravenclaw tshirt! After playing Hogwarts Legacy, I know now that I am also a Ravenclaw, and it just fits me so well. Loving your altar clean, thanks for sharing ❤
Ravenclaw! ⚡

Paul goes to bed first and does a check for me, then I check when I go to bed - there was a cheeky one suspended in a web ( I do dust/ decobweb regularly!) between my bedside table & our bed! I definitely had to relocate her/ him! 😂

I live in New England and it has been a horrible summer in the US, but complete opposite of yours. Extreme heat and humidity, drought, plants and flowers are drooping and yellow lawns. No one even wants to go outside. I'm just chilling in my home with central air. May I have some of your weather? I am excited for Lammas and just finished getting my altar ready. Earlier in the season we had a nice balance of sun and rain and plenty of haying going on. Hoping it will change in the next week or 2 for a decent harvest come Lammastide. Your altar looks lovely!
Oh my goodness, that sounds really unpleasant. I hope you are coping OK - stay cool and hydrated and look after yourself! We have had so much rain here with very few what I would call ‘real’ summer days. And already, it’s starting to get darker just that little bit earlier. But it is what it is, and we try to embrace every day and whatever it brings us! I am really glad you like my altar. Thank you so much for watching ☺️
Your altar looks so fab...I agree about the weather. Its the same here in Ireland.feels like autumn but to be honest autumn winter are my favourite seasons...your sea water sounds interesting. Love your tattoos
Thank you so much! I am really chuffed with how it turned out and I’m glad I got it sorted out! Thank you for your kind words ☺️xxx
i think you can truly feel the energy reset even through the video! just amazing!
Thank you so much, I’m so glad the change in the energy came across! It was absolutely sparkling! 🌻🌻
Your altar is beautiful, thanks for sharing how you clean and reset it. I still need to do mine, it's way overdue for a clean. Hope everything is well with you. Sorry I'm late viewing this. I took a few days off from social media, too much craziness going on in the world right now...
Another great video thank you. I love the tiny witches book you have and the glass witch shaped bottle. The bumble bee material is gorgeous too.
A word of warning re: not opening your Lammas oracle cards. I ordered the Soul Cats Tarot and my hubby put it away to give me a couple of months later as a gift. However when I opened it and took the shrink wrap off the cards there was one missing! I contacted where I had purchased them from to be told that because it had gone 28 days she ‘couldn’t’ sort it out and told me to contact Llewellyn in America. Thankfully they were excellent and sent me the missing card straight away, however another company may not have been as easy to contact or as obliging. So I won’t ever leave a deck unopened now. Even if it’s to go away as a present I will open it and check all the cards etc are as they should be before it’s put away. 💕
Oh my goodness, thank you for the tip!! I will crack on and get mine opened when I get a quiet moment!
I’m so glad you enjoyed by video, thank you so much for watching and for being here 🐝🌻
Hi there! This is the second video I have watched of yours, and I am loving them! New sub for sure! You have such a beautiful, authentic vibe, and thank you. ❤
My name is Lorri and I’m kind of in the broom closet, so it is really nice to have found your channel. You are very inspiring. ❤
I love your shirt! I’m a Ravenclaw too! My husband is a Slytherin. 😆 We live in the US, Midwest. It has been very hot, and smoky from fires in Canada. We still try to enjoy being in garden as much as possible. We hit the ground running with gardening in our town, especially as snow tends to show up in October and doesn’t leave till May!
The Lammas oracle is on my wishlist. I think I’m going to purchase a copy 😊. I’m so happy I found your channel and I look forward to watching more of your videos. ❤❤❤
Hi Lorri! It’s lovely to hear from you and I’m so glad you are enjoying my channel. I hope you are managing to stay safe in what must be terrifying conditions. Sending you much love xxx
Another fascinating video! Love that you have peacock feathers in your jar. I'm sure your alter smells absolutely amazing. Thank you for sharing your life with us!
Ahh you’re welcome my lovely! I’m glad you enjoyed it. Thank you very much for watching 🧡
Beautiful altar. White Sage acts like a spiritual bleach, it removes all energy, leaving a void which you can fill with positive energy, smoke like Palo santo or sound. Its nice that the old couple stay Around though ❤
Yes they do, and I really hope they continue to do so ♥️
Beautiful altar! You have inspired me to attack mine this week.
As far as weather, I am in the US, North Carolina. Basically, we are cooking down here. Upper 90s with heat index above 100F. Maybe i need to move over there. I prefer cool and not so much sun.
Oh my goodness, I really wouldn’t enjoy that - and my hair would absolutely hate the humidity! I hope you’re managing to keep cool and comfortable. I’m so glad you enjoyed my cleanup and thank you so much for watching! 🌻
Really enjoyed sharing your alter clean with you, was lovely to listen to you explaining as you went about the process, i thought thr format worked really well. Really enjoying your channel 😊 As ive said before i am a complete novice and most things you mention ive never even heard of but im someone who always felt energies and and was always ridiculed for mentioning them let alone saying i was affected by them so was really lovely to hear you talking about this type of thing so matter of factly!
@@SarahCalicoCat I’m so glad you enjoyed it and that you’re finding my channel helpful - that means so much to me. I understand what you mean about getting ridiculed for something that is so real to you. When I walk into a room I can feel the energy and emotions of every single person there. I have done everything since I was little, and I didn’t understand what was happening. I felt responsible for how they were feeling and I still do sometimes! Energy is a strange thing, to us it is something so tangible that we can almost see it. Yet some people go through life completely oblivious to it. It baffles me! ☺️
@fifty-somethingwitch2406 Absolutely!! Being told I'm being silly, imagining things or being overly sensitive but to me it's just as ordinary and real as hearing someone (or something for that matter) cry or laugh. Thank you for replying, I'm looking forward to learning lots more from your channel 💗💕
You’re absolutely not being silly. You are highly sensitive and there is nothing wrong with that! ♥️
Looks amazing and definitely worth the effort! Good job 😊❤ blessed Lammas/Lughnasadh ❤❤❤
Thank you so much. It definitely feels much better - it’s so much brighter and happier! 🌻🌻
@@fifty-somethingwitch2406 I'm a clean and tidy person, but I am terrible at cleaning my altar, soooo much stuff to move. I make a ritual out of it like you do, I make my own Florida water to spiritually cleanse everything with after removing all the dust and incense ash, and I also hit it with smoke and bells! More is more 🤣 but yes I agree the difference in the energy after a reset is amazing isn't it? 😁🥰
@mamajusmagickalemporium2655 it really is! The whole hallway seemed to sparkle with energy after I’d finished! I have to say though that I really don’t mind my altar getting untidy and messy - it’s place of work and focus and creativity, it has a heart and its own energy and it is meant to be used! And cleaning it is a joy and a privilege ♥️
@@fifty-somethingwitch2406 I agree with this as well! It's a working space. Sometimes I have workings that last the whole waning or waxing moon phase, and there is no way I'm fettling my altar during that time, I need that energy to build! Xxx
@mamajusmagickalemporium2655 I completely get it! ♥️
Yes, the weather has been odd, hasn't it? I don't like heat but I enjoy the beauty of the sunlight on the trees.
@@7arboreal I agree with you 100% - I’m really not a fan of the heat but I love bright sunshiny days ☺️🌻
I love these types of videos! Thanks so much for sharing, Alison. The altar looks great. I've got my gold bee earrings and necklace today 🐝 :) Blessed Be(e)!
Ahh that’s so good to hear, thank you so much and you’re very welcome! 🐝🌻🐝🌻
The wood side bits you were cleaning are called Spindles. (my Dad was a carpenter lol) I can almost smell all the wonderful things you have. Thank you for sharing x
Thank you!! The word just wouldn't come to me!
Thank you so much for watching 😍
Thanks for sharing your magical altar with us! I feel inspired to give mine a good clean and reset. Looking forward to your next video. Blessed be!
@@markpage646 you’re very welcome, thank you so much for watching! I’m so glad you are here ☺️
Love your altar! The weather here in Norfolk UK has been abysmal! Let's hope we get some sort of summer! Glad you are feeling well again. ❤
@@elainerichards6406 thank you so much. I’m so glad you like my altar. Thank you for your kindness xx
So glad to see you feeling better.
Now, thats what i call cleaning!!
Puts me to shame😂😂
Everything looked sparkly ✨️ ✨️✨️
Loved everything..especially your little hare... he is just too cute.
Lovely video as always..💕💕💕
@@fifidubois5514 Aahh bless you darling, thank you so much! It definitely needed it! I’m so glad you enjoyed it 🌻🌻
Love this! I could actually smell the essential oils as you were cleaning, weirdly. I'm now inspired to rearrange my own space - I love how you've got everything in one place. And yes to the Morrison's, I've got the same jar of cloves :) BB xxxx
Thank you Denise! I’m so glad you enjoyed it and I hope you enjoy sorting your own space out! And the Morrison’s spice jars are the BOMB!! I love them! ☺️☺️
I’m not sure about this, but maybe to keep your smoke bundles dry you could store them in a sealed glass jar with either some salt or those silica packs to keep things dry that are mailed to us. Much love to you and yours.
@@deniseoconnor2490 that is a brilliant idea - thank you so much for that! ♥️
Thank you for sharing with us Alison. I've really enjoyed your video and you've inspired me to get cracking. Looking forward to your post next week. Thank you for bringibg this lovely community together x
@@alisonlowe7387 you’re so welcome! I’m so glad you enjoyed it and I am so glad you are part of our lovely community ♥️
Loved this video Alison ❤️Love how you showed your whole process 🥰 It’ll be lovely to see more videos like this. This is amazing so calm and a joy to watch. I also enjoy dip pens. Amazon have lost my Lammas deck. The photo is on someone else’s porch. I have to wait for another delivery of it. You’re altar is beautiful and everything in it 😍 Thank you 💕🪄✨🦋
@@VanessaKismetSmitten thank you so much darling. I’m so glad you enjoyed it, it was definitely a new experience for me. And if you’re wondering why the sage section ended quite abruptly- well it’s because the smoke alarm went off so I had to edit it out! 🤣 Oh dear, never mind! xxx
@@fifty-somethingwitch2406 Oh no! I’ve done that a couple of times and our fire alarm is sensitive which is good. It’s so loud that instead of me relaxing sageing or palo santoing I’m fanning the alarm with anxiety whew 😰 lol
@VanessaKismetSmitten oh dear!! Well I’m glad it’s not just me! 🤣🤣
@@fifty-somethingwitch2406 Yes 🤣🤣
@VanessaKismetSmitten 🤣🤣xx
A beautiful sacred space Alison, I have to do mine again soon. Hope you are all well? xx
@@MichelleChick-zo7ic bless you sweetheart, thank you so much. I’m definitely doing better than I was, thank you ♥️
What a wonderful video, even though it was your first time doing a video in this style I personally think you smashed it. It was lovely to come along with you as you did this. Thank you so much for showing the bells too, I absolutely love them, where did you find yours? They make a beautiful clear sound 🥰 take care xx
@@k-9385 oh you’re so kind, thank you so much! It was definitely a new experience for me and I was really nervous but I still enjoyed myself! My bells actually came from eBay! I was surprised by how nice they sound and by how heavy they are because they were not expensive. I’m really glad I got them ♥️
