Temple of Wicca - Mind, Body & Spirit

Some Tools Of The Trade...

Note: Not all of these items are needed for a ritual or spell. It is your personal power that makes it work!

• An Altar for placing ritual items***(Some bricks with a board across it draped with cloth will do just dandy).

• Candles are always good (For representation of God and Goddess; Element of Fire).

• A Cauldron (In which you can mix things and burn items).

• A Broom (To cleanse sacred space within the circle).

• A Censer (Burns incense which cleanses and represents the element of Air).

• A Wand (Directs power in the circle, draws symbols, etc. also represents Air in some circles).

• The Magick Knife or Athame (Generally a black-handled knife used for directing and storing energy (These can be quite expensive!) There is some debate over how the word itself is pronounced. Some pronounce it ath-ah-MEE (Rhymes with whammy). A pretty accepted pronunciation is atha-MAY).

• The White-Handled Knife or Bolline (Used for cutting herbs, etc.).

• A Crystal Ball (For Full Moon Rites and scrying. Represents the element Water).

• A Goblet or Chalice (For ritual beverage or water. Represents element Water).

• A Pentacle***(Used for summoning the God and Goddess, consecration of tools, etc. Represents the element Earth.).

• The Book of Shadows (BOS, there is no one true Book of Shadows. This is just a book of spells and rituals used in Wicca.).

• A Bell (Marks beginning and end of a ritual; used to invoke the Goddess and ward off bad spirits.)
