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 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 Supply 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
The Clarity & Muse Wiccan Altar Supplies in Kraft Box is a little different Wiccan altar kit and around the same price. It centers more on candles and includes an alter bell which is rather unusual in these types of kits. If you like the idea of doing a lot of candle rituals then this might be an ideal kit for you to start with.
Includes:
- one black gold bordered Pentacle Tarot/Altar Cloth measuring 36″x36″ featuring tasseled egdes
- one Silver Pentacle Altar bell measuring approximately 3″ tall
- one silver Pentacle Tile measuring approximately 3″ in diameter
- twenty high quality 4″ tall color candles in 10 different colors
- one zodiac chime candle holder especially for holding chime candles
I have heard a lot of good things about kits from Raven Moonlight so if this sounds interesting I would not hesitate to grab one.
Includes:
- one Altar Cloth (designs will vary)
- one pentacle Altar Tile
- one 5DRAM vial of our Ritual Incense Blend
- one 2DRAM bottle of our hand-blended Moon Oil blend
- one 2DRAM bottle of our hand-blended Altar oil blend
- one set of God/Goddess stones
- one small white sage smudge stick
- four spell candles (pink, white, green and blue)
- one white porcelain chime candle holder
- one small 6 inch wood-handle athame
- one pair of illumination tapers in purple and white
- one small incense censer
- one roll of self-lighting charcoal
The hand-blended oils are a particular treat and this kit has most of your beginner witch supplies all in one convenient package.
The kits from Raven Moonlight seem to contain fairly high quality products compared to other beginner sets so I would not hesitate if you like one of the sets from them.
Includes:
- one Triple Moon Altar Cloth
- one Triple Moon Soapstone Altar Tile
- one 5DRAM vial of our Goddess Incense Blend
- one 5DRAM vial of our Ritual Incense Blend
- one 2DRAM bottle of our hand-blended Moon Oil blend
- one 2DRAM bottle of our hand-blended Altar oil blend
- one set of Goddess figures
- one small white sage smudge stick

- one pair of illumination tapers in purple and white
- one small incense censer
- one roll of self-lighting charcoal
The Wiccan Or Pagan Altar Kit by Pagan Portal is a fairly comprehensive kit which is very diverse. The inclusion of the chalice, bell and cauldron make this probably the most flexible of all the kits listed here.
I really like this Wicca altar kit because it has very little in consumables such as candles, incense, oils, etc and instead concentrates on the reusable items that you normally have to buy in addition to the kit. Sure, you will want to purchase more incense and oils to make this kit more usable, but the Wiccan altar tools like the chalice and bell are already included.
If I had to choose one kit for myself, it would absolutely be this one. I would use it and find out what consumables I wanted and order those separately.
Includes:
- one large 24″ X 24″ altar cloth
- two chime candle holders
- one silver candle
- one gold candle
- one chalice
- one silver bell
- one altar tile
- one black wood handled athame (not shown)
- one cauldron
- one white selenite wand
- one white sage incense package of 20
- one altar oil
- five crystals
While no kit is likely to have everything you want or need in one package it is a great way to get a head start for less. Stick with the less expensive kits if you are still unsure of how much you will use the kit or if you are just not that serious of a practitioner.
If on the other hand you are a serious practitioner and know that you will eventually be buying pretty much everything anyway, the larger kits are better values and will save you a lot of time and effort as well.
Remember that these are sets for beginners so the odds are that in the years to come you will probably be replacing everything with items that are more robust and more reflective of your individual tastes.
I hope this article helps you find the perfect Wicca altar kit for you!
