Our History

The Witches Altar began as a jewelry-making endeavor by Owner and Artisan Lewanna Manche. She designs specialized pieces to enhance the spiritual practice of witchcraft. Unable to find the jewelry she felt most suited to her journey, she set out to make her own. These charms became a core element of her path, and the paths of many others as she expanded her business to include her insights within the worlds of divination and spellwork. Now, TWA offers sacred space for any witch—or curious folk—aiming to amplify their practice.
