Welcome to my Witchcraft Journey!
I am a secular(?) sea witch. I'm quite new to witchcraft, and I want to share my journey to learning more!
Here's a picture of the ocean that I took on a vacation to Destin, Florida.
My Altar
![]()
Explanation: I am still working on my altar, but this is what it looks like when I am home for the summer. I will add another picture of what it looks like during the school year (changes each year depending on space). I try to use glass as my vessels, as it comes from sand. I have a variety of shells arranged on the altar for my main two intentions. I do not worship any gods, so I have no statues of deities. I do have a picture I took of an octopus to represent the sea life. That kind of takes the place of a deity statue for me. I will explain why I chose an octopus later. I also have various crystals. Most of them are connected to the sea, element of water, or the moon. I do have other crystals on it though.
My Main Tools
- Salt Water: I do not live super close to the sea, and the sea I live most near is not very clear, so I mix my own with sea salt and water.
- Plants: I use a lot of plants that are commonly used in witchcraft (lavender, rosemary, chamomile, etc.) (Just to be clear, I NEVER use white sage; it is our responsiblity as witches to respect closed practices.) I also use a variety of seaweeds and algeas.
- Sea Salt: I always use sea salt in place of regular salt in my practice.
- Seashells: I use seashells that I have collected over the years (I am a big shell fanatic) in my practice. Obviously, only take empty shells and try to limit how many shells you take. I use different shells for different intentions. One unique thing about one of the ways I use shells is by using a mixture of shells with feminine, masculine, and androgenous associations. I love slipper snails for their associations with androgeny. I also use shells for beauty, protection, etc.
