| In order to perform any act of successful ritual witchcraft, you must have your set of basic traditional working tools. They are the tools of your trade, as much as an easel and brushes are of the artist. The magical act is a cumulative one. You start from stratch with newly purchased subastances, ritually purify or demagnetize them with salt, water, and incense, and then recharge them with your concentrated power. From these charged substances, you then fashion your implements, and with these implements, you cast your first spells. These are your basic working tools: The Knife - also known as an Athame. The Cord - Known variously as a girdle cord, or cingulum. The Censer - the incense burner, also known as the thurible. The Cup - also known as the Chalice. The Spellbook - known variously as the Witches' Bible, workbook, Liber spirituum, or Book of Shadows. To make your working tools, the first thing you must do is to learn how to purify and consecrate all your raw materials (or exorcise them) by means of salt, water, fire and air. Click on any of the basic tools to learn about them, why they are used in Wiccan and how to consecrate or cleanse them. |
