In witchcraft, one of the most powerful ways to honor our ancestors is by creating a family altar. An altar is a sacred space that serves as a bridge between the past and the present, a place where we can connect with the energy and wisdom of those who came before us. For children, setting up a family altar can be a fun and meaningful way to learn about their family’s history, build a connection to their roots, and explore the magickal tradition of ancestor veneration.
In this guide, we’ll walk through simple and safe steps to help young witches create their very own family altar, incorporating offerings, pictures, and meaningful objects. This process is not only a creative activity but also a deeply spiritual practice that will help children feel connected to their heritage and the guidance of their ancestors.
