Hello Rose, my name is Shannan, i have been studying wiccan for a long time now, since i was 16, im 21 now maybe it isnt that long but it feels like it. Anyways i am starting to finally feel comfortable in calling myself a witch i didnt before just because of my lack of knowledge. i know about the holidays and tools of the trade. im even learning tarot and herbs. i take it seriously and i just need a few questions answered. im married with a child and im fairly happy but i have no alone time and my husband doesnt think to highly of wiccan so its hard to get time to build an altar or get out of the house to find a sutable place to meditate and work magik. how would you go about fixing this issue and if you could give me any extra info about holidays and spells and whatnot it would be greatly appreciated Blessed Be Shannan

Merry meet Shannan. I am very happy to hear from you. I am glad that you have reached a stage where you are ready to practice Wicca the way you want it. You have a happy marriage and a beautiful baby which shows that your mind is very strong and that you are creating a wonderful life for yourself and your family. The essence of Wicca is in the power of our mind. Regardless of how big our altar is, our magick works only if our mind is strong and loving. Many people have altars outside the home. If you can sit under a tree while your child is playing nearby, that can be your altar. If you are by the sea, you have an amazing place to focus on your creative thoughts. Some people even use one of their kitchen cabinets to create their altar. Just make sure that you don’t light any candles or incense inside the cabinet. Use herbal oils and dried herbs for cleansing instead. I am sure you can come up with an area somewhere around the house or some place which you visite often to create your altar. If you cannot see a way around it, you can create an altar in your mind. While you sit meditating, imagine the altar that you would have if you could, and focus on it. Wiccans can have anything they wish using the sacred space deep in their consciousness. As you can see, there are several ways in which you can celebrate the spirit of Wicca without disturbing others in the family. Know that deep inside of you, you can create ANYTHING. Blessed Be. Rose.
