"Maximum suspense, unusual magic--a whole new, thrilling approach to fantasy "
--Tamora Pierce, #1 New York Times bestselling author
It s emotional, chock-full of deep themes like racial prejudice, bullying, and oppression, and riddled with my favorite tropes like enemies to lovers and forbidden romance. It was really hard to watch some of the characters from different races fall in love and not be allowed to act on their love for fear of being alienated by their race and family.
They are also used to set intentions and create a sacred space during rituals. 2. Crystals: Crystals are believed to hold energy and can be used for various purposes in witchcraft.

Reviews for "The Power of Wotch Altars for Manifestation and Intention Setting"
1. Laura - 1 star
I purchased the Wotch altar items and I was extremely disappointed with the quality. The materials used were cheap and flimsy, and the overall craftsmanship was subpar. The colors were dull and faded, and the design looked nothing like what was advertised. I had high hopes for these items to enhance my altar, but instead, they just brought down the aesthetic. I would not recommend these products to anyone looking for reliable and visually appealing altar items.
2. David - 2 stars
I was quite underwhelmed with the Wotch altar items I purchased. The descriptions on the website made them seem so much more impressive than they actually were. The crystals included looked completely different from the photos, and they were much smaller than I expected. The candles were also mediocre, with weak scents that didn't fill the room as promised. Overall, the items lacked the quality and charm I was hoping for and I would advise others to explore alternative options for their altar needs.
3. Sarah - 2 stars
The Wotch altar items fell short of my expectations. The packaging was lackluster, with no effort to ensure the items arrived safely. The incense sticks smelled stale, and the holder itself was poorly made, barely staying upright. The tarot cards included were of low quality, with a flimsy paper stock that easily tore. Unfortunately, this purchase was a disappointment and I will be looking elsewhere for better quality and attention to detail when it comes to altar supplies.
4. Michael - 1 star
I regret purchasing the Wotch altar items. The athame I received was not sharp at all; it couldn't even slice through a piece of paper. The altar cloth had frayed edges, making it look cheap and poorly made. The ritual oils had leaked during shipping, leaving a mess in the package. Overall, the quality and functionality of the items were far below my expectations. I highly discourage others from wasting their money on these disappointing products.
