Once you start your way down the path, you might want a Wicca altar kit to help you stock up. Buying a kit generally saves you money off of buying each item separately and as a beginner you might not know what all goes together. Keep in mind, though, there is no such thing as complete Wiccan altar sets because there are so many different things you can do on your altar.
While there are a lot of places to find kits, and tons of kits out there, they often vary greatly in quality. What follows is a list of ones I have found that are of good or better quality for the beginner and should serve you well.
The best Wicca altar kit for beginners
The Alternative Imagination Wiccan Altar Kit, Standard Kit featuring a Copper Offering Bowl by Alternative Imagination, is your basic altar starter kit to get you up to speed quickly. This is an excellent budget kit to start with until you know what you really need or want.
Includes:
one Altar Cloth featuring The Triple Moon and Pentacle
- one Copper Tree of Life Offering Bowl
- 1oz of White Dead Sea Salt
- 1oz of Black Hawaiian Sea Salt
- 1oz of Pink Himalayan Salt
- two Premium Smudges – 1 California White Sage and 1 Palo Santo
- two White Deity Candles for the God and Goddess
If you want something a little more comprehensive, you could look at this Wyspell Large Witchcraft Kit with 65 items. While technically designed for witches in general, it certainly works well as a Wicca altar kit too. This kit is more for someone who has nothing to start with and wants to explore many facets of the faith to see what works for them.
The kit includes:
- 12 Candles
- 2 candleholders
- 5 Natural stones
- 12 Parchments
- Pink and black salt
- Altar bowl with spoon
- Altar bell
- 12 Crystals
- 12 Herbs
- Guidebook
- Notebook
- 18″ x 18″ Altar cloth
- Pendulum board with pendulum
Add some smudge sticks and you have everything you need.
If you want something even bigger, here is the Shyshiny 150 item Wicca altar kit. This kit has something for every occasion and includes things that are not in other kits, such as necklaces and amulets. Not only that, but it includes more of items you do see in other kits such as herbs, candles, and crystals. My only complaint here is that once again, there are no smudge sticks.
Included in this kit:
- 40 Herbs
- 20 Bottles of crystals
- 20 Colored candles with holder
- 2 Necklaces
- 2 Amulets
- Bracelet
- Chakra tree of life
- Witch bell
- Hand bell
- Incense board with 20 incense sticks
- Pendulum board and dowsing crystal
- Pink and white salt
- Peacock feather
- Witch broom
- Parchment sheets
- 32page guide book
- Spell book
- Altar plate with spoon
- 7 Chakra stones
- Amethyst cluster
- All packed in a nice gift box
For those who are a little more focused (more on oils than herbs and crystals), and a little more upscale, there is the Raven Moonlight Goddess Wicca Altar kit. At only 14 items (26 pieces) and over twice the price of the previous huge set, this set trades quantity of items for quality. You will note that this kit includes hand-blended oils, smudge sticks, an athame, and charcoal where the two previous kits did not and the first kit I recommend had only the smudge sticks from that list.
This set includes:
- 1 Triple Moon Altar Cloth
- 1 Triple Moon Soapstone Altar Tile
- 1 5DRAM vial of our Goddess Incense Blend
- 1 5DRAM vial of our Ritual Incense Blend
- 1 2DRAM bottle of our hand-blended Moon Oil blend
- 1 2DRAM bottle of our hand-blended Altar oil blend
- 1 set of Goddess stones
- 1 small white sage smudge stick
- 1 set of ten spell candles (chime size)
- 1 white porcelain chime candleholder
- 1 small 6 inch wood-handle athame (knife)
- 1 pair of illumination tapers in purple and white
- 1 small incense censer
- 1 roll of self-lighting charcoal
If you are buying a gift for someone special, this set is sure to please. Just please note the athame as the kit may not be suitable for children or young adults.
I hope this article helps you find the perfect Wicca altar kit for you!
