A Wiccan altar is a "raised structure or place used for worship, or prayer",upon which a Wiccan practitioner places several symbolic and functional items for the purpose of worshiping the God and Goddess, casting spells, and/or saying chants and prayers.

~Sourced from Wikipedia

An altar has to be made from your heart. whatever you put on there, you must connect with fully.

What you may want:
A chalice
Athame
God/Goddess representations
Pentacle
Elemental representations
Candles
Offering bowl/s
Natural items.


These are all optional and can be improvised. Instead of a chalice, You may want to use a plain glass, or wine glass.

A butter knife instead of an Athame,

Tea-lights instead of pillar candles/spell candles

Symbols in photo frames for god and goddess representation

Pentacle drawn on paper or made of cardboard/sticks

Air representation- Incense or Feather

Fire representation- Tea-light or wand

Water representation: Bowl of water or salt

Earth representation: Bowl of dirt/leaves/petals.




I hope this has helped.
