Wiccas Tools
Cauldrons
For Wiccan followers
Cauldrons
symbolize the Goddess. They can also be the central focus point during a ritual and are often used when making oils, incenses, and herb magics brews. Cauldrons can be used for water or smoke divination. During wiccn rituals heat is often used so the cauldron needs to be made heat without cracking. Cast Iron tends to be the optimum choice
Chalice
This is a sacred cup of glass that represents water, emotion and fertility.
Chalices
contain a variety of beverages during in rituals. In Wiccas practive the symbolize womanhood in the symbolic Great Rite.
Book of Shadows
The
Books of Shadows
is a journal, a place to record and remember, to mark down rituals and thoughts.
Where in a lot of "religious" books like the Bible one reads about the path to follow, the Book of Shadows shows the spiritual road as it has been in the writers life.
One does not know where one is going but when recording the path in
the Book of Shadows
one knows where one has spiritually been.
Altars and Altar Cloths
An Altar is used for a lot of magical work within wiccan practice.
An Altar is a sacred,special space set aside for magickal working and the recognition of things spiritual in nature.
Altar Cloths
are special cloths that are used to cover the altar. Wiccan often have several cloths depending on the purpose. For instance one to make the latar look pleasing and one for ritual work where oil a=or wax spills can occur.This is often called the "working cloth".
Altar Kits
are kits designed for the beginning witch or wiccan containing basic ingredients for your own personal altar
Wand
Another basic tool of wiccas craft is the
Wand.
this is a specially made rod or staff that is used to project your energy to a certain place, thing, person, or dimension. Lots of materials have been used to fashion ones wand , among them are wood, crystal, copper, or glass.
Brooms - Besoms
Contrary to "popular belief" witches do not ride on their brooms. Rather the
Besoms
are used to cear places of residual negative energy. With big sweeps the negative energies is wiped away.
The broom symbolizes the transition, the vehicle to transport oneself into different dimensions in meditation and dreams. The broom is sometimes placed at the entrance of a certain place as a symbolic opening transport. It can also be used to send messages to other non-earthly, spiritual places.
