How To Create Your Wicca Witchcraft Altar
The first step is to thoroughly clean the room that will contain your altar. It is best to mix sea salt into water. If you can’t find any sea salt to use (any new age shop should have some), just use cleaning supplies you would normally use.

(such as candles or figurines) If you have enough room, try to mark the circle between 5 to 9 feet in diameter. (If you don’t have enough space your circle can be smaller, but it may be a little more difficult to stay inside of the circle when doing your spell work.

Now it is time to decorate your temple (the area around your circle). You can hang meaningful posters, fabric, and pictures. You can set up candles all around the room in any way that feels right for you. Try to set up a
