Tools for spellcasting

Altar
An essential base to work from. It’s important that your altar is your own; there are no set rules on this. A portable altar (simply placing a cloth on a hardwood floor) can be used when in the broom closet, or when traveling.
The Pentagram
A symbol known to protect the owner. Was frequently worn as an amulet to celebrate spiritual protection and a happy homecoming. The five points of the star represent protection and the five elements; earth, air, fire, water, and spirit, starting with the top point symbolizing earth and traveling clockwise. Placed on your altar, directly in the center, with the star facing you upright. Don’t forget to charge it!
Salt and water
The highest forms of protection. A small bowl of salt and water on either side of the pentagram will do.
Candles!
Pretty self-explanatory. A variety of colors work well, but white can always act as a substitute for the color you need in a spell.
Incense
Creates ambience for effective spellcasting. Burn for the duration of a spell.
The Chalice
Represents the element of water, and a symbol of fertility. In ancient times, it often corresponded to the womb of the goddess. The stand is symbolic of the maternal world, the stem represents the relationship between humanity and spirit, and the rim is thought to attract spiritual force.
The Cauldron
Used as a vessel for making infusions and potions. Good for burning herbs!
The Bell
A ritual tool used in banishment spells. Can be rung to indicate the start of a spell, clearing negativity, or repeatedly around the home to rid of unwanted vibrations. Can safeguard the home by dispelling evil spirits, or stir up good energies.
The Athame
A ritual knife. The traditional dagger usually has a black handle with a double-edged blade. Many inscribe their candles with an athame, and cast a circle around the altar before commencing rituals. It’s thought to transport power from us, through the knife itself. It’s used only for magical purposes, and generally unsharpened.
The Wand
Traditionally made from the wood of a willow, elder, apple, or cherry tree. The length should measure from elbow to tip of your index finger. The maker of the wand channels the power into it, so it’s good to make your own. Doing this, keep in mind the tree your wand came from. You can carve or sand down the wand, then varnish and charge it. It’s a summoning tool used to evoke the spirits. It can also be used to bless/charge objects, and draw down the Moon in spellcasting.
The Broomstick
A phallic symbol, female witches generally using it in fertility rites. Often placed near the hearth of the home to protect the opening, or at the fireplace to prevent evil from entering there. By sweeping dust from the home, you’re symbolically castling our bad energy. At a witches wedding, the couple jumps over a broom to display their union.
Crystals and gemstones
Their use varies based on the stone and intent, but ensure to cleanse and charge them before/after use!
The book of shadows
A workbook in which a witch records their spells and rituals. All spells cast are noted for future reference. Also works as a dream diary, and tends to contain a moon phase calendar that can be detached and replaced each year. Traditionally handwritten.
