There are no hard and fast rules to Paganism, the interpretation, is whatever feels right to the individual. To some it is a religion, or to a solo witch, such as myself, it is more of a philosophy and way of life.
However, there are very important basic rules which every witch today adheres to today, these being the Witches Rede (rule) of HARM NONE. And the Three-Fold Rule, "Whatever you do will come back to you three-fold". A good thought or deed will be repaid back three times over. But beware, any bad thought or deed will also be repaid three times over. (How many times have you heard people complain that "accidents" always happen in threes! This was probably due to them having an intentional bad thought or acting in an uncaring manner). Again these "rules" have evolved over the years, in ancient times witches had no problem dishing out curses if they saw fit, regardless of the outcome to themselves! It has been much more recently that Pagans worldwide honour these two codes. Also spells should never be cast more than three at a time and never for selfish purposes.
Athane
The athane, traditionally a black handled knife which is of personal use to a witch.
Pentacle
The Pentacle, a five pointed star, surrounded by a circle is the most well known and used symbol in witchcraft. The single point always points upwards. The five points represent the five elements of Earth (North), Air (East), Fire (South), Water (West) and Ether (spirit). The circle represents the unbroken circle of life.
Wand
Instead of the Athane, a wand is often used to cast a circle. Traditionally a piece of fallen branch from a willow, oak or ash tree, approx. the length of a persons arm between the wrist and elbow. It should be given freely by the tree (not cut off) and collected on a Wednesday.
Crystals
Crystals are great collectors of energy. Often crystals are used in healing spells, when given to the recipient, they can release their energy over a period of time and are useful in balancing the Chakras.
