In the practic Of Magick and Wicca thier are tools we use
that have meaning and purpose. theses are tools you will want eventualy get
over the course of the studies. I will give you what the item is and what you
can use from you home as a substitution until the time you get your tools
In the folowing lesson you will be geting into the basics of the magical circle and how
to erect it and your own sacred space. before midterms which is Lesson 12, after Midterms
we will de discuing Lunar circles and rituals, seasonal rituals and divination systems.
all of which are important to get down before we start looking into spell work
Enough of me chatiing let's get to work
Tools in magick are useful and symbolic. they are part of the magical suplies you should now start puting together. Bellow is a table of the tools and their House hold Substitutions.
| Name of tool | Discriotion Of tool | Approprialte sunstitutions | Use Of tool | Element |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Alter | A Flat sreface used in Spititual and Magical workings Normaly made of wood or stone | A table,Nightstand, Covered box, andy flat surface aprox 2 foot Square | a place to place your other tools,Candles, Incence and magical working space | all elemnets |
| Atheme | Cerimonial dagger Untuched by human Blood | A butter or steak knife,a feather | used for writing and cutting in the air, and magical carvings and cutting | the Air |
| wand | An 18 inch Oak Stick that is strait used to direct magickal energy | Any Stick from outside, a cane | used for directing and sending magical energy | Fire |
| Chalice | Goblet that holds water nd drink during the rituals, symbolic of the waters of life | Any cup or glass | Is used for many rituals were a glass is used to drink from | Water |
| Pentical | a symbol of life and the earth | A stone or chrystal | represents the continual cycle of earthly life | Earth |

| incence holder | swinging incesse senser | Any Incese holder that applies to the type of incence burning | Many rituals have incense appropriate to use always use an inces holder to avoid fire | not diffined |
| Incense | nartural hebs ground and butned over coals (imoractical a lot in this day and aage) | incense of the type cllaed for that you cna aquire. if only option acvalible is store bought use it | Clensing and to carry Prayers and spell requests to the gods | Air and Fire |
| Salt water bowls | 3 small bowls usualy made of wood or stone | 3 small bowls or tea cups, one to hold water, one to hold a tbsp of salt and one for the salt water purification ritual | Use to make holy water and purification | earth and water |
| Libation Bowl and plate | Ceramic, wood or stone bowl | any plate and bowl | used for cake and drink offering in Circle commonly called cakes and ale | male and femal energies of life |
These are the bascic tools used in your magical and spiritual workings Other Items needed are candles Candle types are a matter of personal choice. I like the round ones in glass you get in the card section of the grocerie store I get 6 small ones and 1 big one. of the small ones I get red, bule, green,yellow, white and a dark color, real hard to find one that is black. and the bIg one white. The big one represents the Divine energy of the universe. the White and Black(dark colored one) represents the male and femal energies(balance> and the other 4 each color corisponds to an element.
the type of holders and candles used are personaly up to you. if you use tapers use candle holders. Never leave candles or incense burning unattended. this is a major fire hazard, always have a bowl of water or fire estinguisher handy in case of fire.
