MAKING CHEAP TOOLS

The Following tips are to save money making tools and supplies for beginners in the Craft
and those of us that cannot afford to buy expensive costly items brought from Occult shops.
Altar cloths:
Use old sheets cut to appropriate size. Or go to a fabric store and search through the remnants.
These are often at least 1 yard in size, and cost 50% or less of their original price.
Sheets and remnants can be embroidered, appliquéd or painted (fabric paint) with symbols
and other designs. Make sure the fabric is washable though. Market in England have wonderful
remnant boxes where you can get washable velvet curtain material that would be ideal with
silver or gold fringe and a pentagram applied with embroidery or fabric paints.
Incense:
Check the spice and herb shelf at your grocery stores and Health food shops.
There are many dried whole and powdered herbs and spices that can be used individually or in
combination for incense. Save your money to buy those which are not available through the
grocery store (I.e. frankincense, myrrh, copal). Same idea applies to herbs for magickal use.
You can grow things like lavender and sage and thyme and many other herbs and flowers
in pots or in your garden. Try steeping herbs in a virgin olive oil or nice base oil for like
Jojoba or a few weeks and make your own oils.
Censer:
Shops charge a pretty penny for censors (I'm talking of normal censers, not the little cone ones),
so don't buy them there. Check discount stores, jumble sales or flea markets and garage or boot
sales for suitable containers. If money is tight, try using a deep natural seashell or even aluminum
pie pans. Fill with sand or cat litter and set on a hot pad or a trivet (just to be safe). The charcoals
used for burning incense get *very* hot, so be careful with choosing what you will use....
some materials have very low heat tolerance/resistance.
Chalice:
Have you a nice goblet or wine glass at home? Use that. No need for anything fancy.
If you keep your eyes open, you can find a nice crystal or glass goblet fairly inexpensively at
stores such as Boot sales, Jumble sales, Charity shops and Second Hand shops or Woolworth's
if in England; or garage sales if you are American try Wall- Mart and Kmart, kitchen shops, flea
markets. You can buy a glass engraver tool or use silver or gold enamel paint or special silver
or gold pens from craft shops to inscribe pentacles and decorations, Wicca blessings or chants etc.
Candle holders:
Fill jars with sand and stick the candle into the sand. You can paint symbols on the jars if you like
to represent the elements, etc. The small votive candles can be burned in small aluminum pans
(pot pie size...I've even seen custard cup size for sale in grocery stores). Even some of the larger
pillar candles can be burned in these pans. Candles can also be burned in seashells and cans
of appropriate size. See above for candle holders brought second hand in brass and copper.
Make your own candles from kits. Amazing moulds can be made from wet sand lined with Clingfilm.
I have also used unraveled toilet rolls inside of glass jars, the cardboard is peeled away easily
after the hot wax hardens. Wax crayons can be added to make different colors.
Buy white candles and prick them all over, now add a mixture of sea - salt and food coloring
and dip the candles to get any color you wish. it`so the vibrations of the color the spell is
requiring and it saves raised eyebrows about you having so many colored candles.
Robes and sandals:
Not essential. What you wear is a matter of choice, unless you belong to a coven that specifies
what you wear. In solitary practice, it's just you and the deities. You can make a robe from a dyed
or bleached sheet or buy a caftan type of garment kept just for rituals. Of course it simple and
it's often recommended for witches or be sky-clad. Covens tell their members to make their
own ritual robe and to bless each magickal stitch they sew. They are supposed to only be worn
for ritual use. Scour the
shops for jet and amber beads to find beads to make a priestesses necklace to wear.
You can look for cheap beads to sew into a Mandela to meditate with.
Athame:
It will take time to find the right one for you. It can be the traditional style, or it can be a dagger
or knife that has special meaning to you. Go to pawn shops, flea markets, and garage sales to
keep the cost down. Look for letter openers and things like that!. Before buying, handle the knife.
If it doesn't feel right, or if it doesn't call to you in some way, it's not the one for you. If you've
handled a knife and still aren't sure about it, don't buy it right away...go back and handle it several
times over a period of a week or two. Until such time as you find *your* Athame, any dagger or long
bladed knife will suffice. The handle may be painted white or black or left in it's natural wood effect.
Wands:
It's best to make your own. Take walks in parks, along beaches or in the woods.
Keep your eyes open for branches laying on the ground. Handle the branch and see what
impressions come to you. If it's meant to be a wand for you, you'll feel it. You can add the
skull of an animal personal to your coven . The thing is to personalize it and to keep the natural
life-force to maximize the energy . Wicca [protection balls are made easily from Christmas tree
clear ornaments and silver paint. Scrying mirrors are also easily made by spraying any ordinary
glass black with a spray enamel paint and setting it back in an attractive metal or wooden frame
you can make look Magickal with emblems and symbols painted on and herbs put inside the
"scrying mirror" to make it special and personal. The same method applies to finding other useful
items such as seashells, stones, etc. Feathers can make magickal quill pens or are handy to waft
incense smoke or represent the element of Air. Seashells hold water and salt and can represent
the element of North as can stones. A Lava stone or pumice stone can represent the element of fire.
Staffs:
See wands ....just use a bigger branch. Try a Do it yourself shop to find a sturdy wood rail you
can chop to size. A small piece of dowel can make a wand, A copper wand filled with herbs
is a good conductor Magic.
More on Jewelry:
Sometimes there is no helping the expense of this if you want quality. Jewelry is not essential,
but if a piece is especially meaningful, it can be a useful tool (at least in the sense of your
mainframe or mindset). Of course, you can find good jewelry at good prices at flea markets,
pawn shops and garage/estate and boot sales and second hand shops.
More on Altar Pentacles:
You can make one out of flour "clay" and paint it. You can make one out of a square of wood,
and either paint or burn the pentagram, or even carve it.. At many hardware and larger home
repair supply stores, you can find a tile and paint it. The cost of any of these will be a fraction
of a pentacle ordered through a catalog or bought in most stores.

ON SAVING MONEY

The main thing to remember is that you don't have to spend a lot of money. Take a good look
around your home, and look at things with the idea of making it a useful tool. Use your imagination
and creativity. Even if you don't have the money, frequently visit your favorite shop and look
through catalogs. This way, if something goes on sale, you'll have a good idea whether or not it's
really a bargain price. And haunt the discount stores...there's no telling what useful items you
will find at great prices.
Also remember that not every tool or item you read about in the books is essential.
Before buying or making something, ask yourself "Do I really need this in order to practice my beliefs?"
If you save money on tools and at the same time create things that are beautiful and personal
they will be far more magickal than any brought item. The money saved an go towards things
like Amber and Sandalwood resins, gums and incenses and herbs and barks that you cannot
grow yourself. Remember to consult the herbal and incense correspondences you have as it`
so possible to substitute different herbs in spells if you have not got one or two of the things
stipulated! Many are just props, the real Magic is in you!

CONJURATION OF THE SWORD

The Conjuration of the sword is used to consecrate your sword or an Athame or both
before use in any spell. This is a one time operation and need not be repeated so long
as the sword or an Athame remains under your control.
The Latin is the better and more powerful spell.

ALTARS AND ALTAR SETUP

Altars
Your altar does not have to be elaborate. It can be a small table, a mantelpiece, windowsill,
a shelf in a bookcase, or whatever else is handy in the house. It can be round, to represent
the Goddess, square, symbolic of the elements, rectangular or oval. It may be a small area of
ground in a field or wood.
You may decorate it with crystals, talismans, herbs, flowers, or my favorite, feathers.
Anything that has special meaning to you. It is a reflection of the person who puts it together.
It is considered best to place the altar facing north. This direction symbolizes the power
flow from darkness to light. It is associated with the Earth. Some face the south with their
altars to honor the sun as it rises. The altar is usually stands in the center of the circle.
We do not believe the Goddess or God actually "inhabit" the altar. It is a place of power.
We are not "idol worshipers". These are manifestations of the creative forces found in nature
everywhere. It may be set up permanently or dismantled after use.
Altar Setup
The Goddess is associated with the left side of the altar.
The Goddess may be represent by a white, silver, or green candle.
A sculpture or some sort of figure may be used.
Tools that are associated with the Goddess are the Cup, Pentacle, Bell, crystals and Cauldron.
If the Cauldron is large, it is usually placed on the floor to the left.
The God is associated with the right side.
A sculpture or a figure of some sort may be used to represent the God.
A red, yellow or gold candle is appropriate.
Tools associated with the God are, the Censer, Wand, Athame, and Boline.
The Censer and Cauldron are sometimes set in the middle for offerings to both Goddess and God.
The Pentacle is sometimes set in front of the censer. It marks the Directions and/or Elements.
Many Wiccans mark North, South, East and West with candles on the altar, space permitting.
Unless you have a very large altar, you will need a stand for the Book of Shadows,
or place it on the floor where you will not step on it. As you can see, it is up to you to find
what is pleasing. Altar cloths are sometimes used. The color changes for the holidays or ritual.

SPELL TO CHARGE AND CONSECRATE A SCRYING MIRROR OR STONE

Make an infusion of the herb mugwort, while it's still warm, strain it and then
bathe the mirror or stone in the infusion, while softly whispering this chant 9 times.
As you do so, invision the mirror or stone awakening to you and your own psychic abilities:
Lovely oracle of magic worth,
fair creature of psychic light,
the truest answers, you shall bring forth,
you shall be my eyes, my sight.

PERFUMED INKS

Perfumed inks can be used whenever you want to intensify a spell. If burning a candle, write out
your objective on a small piece of paper and place it under the burning candle. If doing a spell
that calls for burning the paper, this ink will strengthen what you are writing. Perfumed inks are
also great for writing notes and letters to your loved ones. The making of perfumed ink is very easy.
Simply purchase a bottle of ink, either black or colored, and add 2 or 3 drops of the appropriate
essential oil to the bottle. Let the bottle of ink sit on your altar overnight. This is best done on the
Full Moon for positively-charged inks, on the Dark Moon for negatively-charged inks. My tip for
a love letter is to mix red and blue Indian or types of inks together and add some lavender essential
oil or some diffused lavender essence or just leave the lavender petals in the inks and put in the
sun or airing cupboard for a week and then strain. It is supposed to be the thing for writing love
letters and spells. As good as the Doves blood ink!
