Magical tools. Tools of magic. Magical charging of the pentacle

The burning of incense, or aromatic herbs, resins and bark, during religious and other rites is a very ancient custom that existed almost everywhere. In ancient times, it was believed that the smoke of incense carried prayers to heaven, to the gods. In addition, the burning of incense creates a certain atmosphere, or "veil", that greatly contributes to the success of the magical ritual.

In candle magic, not only esoteric incense is used, but it is of great importance and is another important component of the success of the magical ritual. Different incense is recommended for different rituals, but these are only tips, not rules. If you have a favorite aromatic substance, or if you can't find a recommended incense, stick with what you have or what you prefer. If it is recommended to use a mixture of several incense, proceed as you would when making other magical tools: focus on the purpose of the ritual while mixing the incense. Put your thoughts and strength into this mixture so that when burned it will contribute to the maximum success of the ritual.

The ancient Egyptians often used the so-called kufi - a complex mixture of sixteen different substances. You don't need to resort to such complex drugs, but sometimes you need to mix two or three substances. For the rituals described in detail in the third part of the book, incense should be mixed in equal proportions, unless the corresponding reservation is made in the recipe.

Incense is burned on pieces of charcoal. Charcoal can be purchased at stores that sell occult items. There are flammable briquettes, that is, treated with saltpeter (or potassium nitrate) - in order for them to catch fire, you just need to bring a match to them. When the coals are hot and you are sure they are burning evenly and strongly, spoon some incense onto them. One of the advantages of this method of using incense is its cost-effectiveness. You can get by with just a small amount of incense, it will not be wasted.

The censer or incense burner should ideally hang on a Chain. When swaying, a wind arises, fanning the fire. Currently, you can purchase a wide variety of censers, or you can make them yourself or adapt any suitable vessel for this purpose. I attached a copper chain to an open copper brazier, which is made in India and sold at any craft store. The result was a quite suitable incense burner for work. It can also be made from a copper ashtray by making holes in it for a chain. You can also burn charcoal on a platter or saucer, but you will have to fill it with sand first. Sand absorbs heat and prevents cracking. True, such an incense burner will have to be swung in your hands, and not on a chain.

Awl

In some rituals, you will have to carve names or properties into the candles. To do this, you will need an awl - a small tool the size of a pen or pencil. In essence, it is used for the same purposes as writing instruments, only with its help you will not draw, but cut out letters and signs on wax candles. Therefore, the tip of the awl should be thin, slightly rounded and not very sharp.

To make an awl, find a piece of wood and shape it into a handle. Carefully, so as not to split the wood, drive a nail with a diameter of 4 mm into the end of the handle. Using wire cutters, bite off the head of the nail and sharpen the tip on a grinding wheel. If you don't have a grinding wheel, you can use a whetstone. In essence, the second method is preferable because making magical tools doesn't have to be quick and easy, you have to put energy into them during the making process.

An alternative is to take a piece of hardwood and simply sharpen the end. Such a cutter will be quite suitable for applying symbols on wax candles. You can decorate the awl with symbols and color the handle, but only if you consider it appropriate.

Candles

Offering candles come in different colors and symbolize different objects and feelings depending on the essence of the ritual. For example, orange is the color of attraction. Therefore, if you are trying to attract something to yourself, you need to place an orange candle next to the candle that represents you. Green is the color of money, so a green candle symbolizes wealth in rituals and so on. If they seem more attractive to you, use them, but as with everything related to magic, be consistent.

Astral candles - symbolize the people participating in the ritual. The petitioner is the person who performs the magical rite. This is either you or the person on whose behalf you are performing the ritual. Other astral candles symbolize other participants in the ritual. The color of the candles is chosen according to the date of birth of each participant. For example, if a person was born on August 5th, under the sign of Leo, his color will be red or a combination of green and red. Each sign has a primary and secondary color. If possible, use both. This helps differentiate astral candles from offering candles, not to mention other benefits.

Day candles are lit depending on the day on which the ritual is performed. For example, if the ceremony is performed on Friday, you should light a green candle. Offering candles, as well as astral and daylight candles, should be thin, dipped or rolled beeswax. It is recommended to make astral candles longer than gift candles and day candles.

Rolled beeswax candles are the easiest to make. You can buy beeswax in the form of honeycomb sheets of different colors. All you have to do is place the wick on the edge of the sheet and roll the sheet tightly into a cylinder. Having spread out the wick, wrap it in the edge of the sheet and press firmly so that the wick does not move from its place. Roll the sheet as tightly as possible. Typically, one candle requires three sheets, the edges of which should slightly overlap each other. If you are making astral candles, the inner and outer sheets should be the primary color of the particular sign, and the middle sheet should be the secondary color. When rolling such candles, again mentally focus on their purpose.

Magic wand

The wand is not one of the mandatory attributes of a magical ritual. Some use it, others do without a rod. Magic wands in one form or another have existed since ancient times among all peoples of the world. They are not only a symbol of power, but also a real means of applying and directing this power. An indispensable attribute of shamans, North American Indian healers, African sorcerers, ancient Egyptians, Druids, priests, rulers and sages has long been considered a magical staff or scepter - a rod, a symbol of power and strength.

The purpose of the wand is to store and project your power. Of course, you can store power within yourself and project it with your finger, but for many, the wand helps them concentrate and come into a state of harmony. Undoubtedly, the wand is a magical tool, useful in psychological terms.

You can choose any material to make a wand. If you know how to work with metal, then it makes sense to make a wand from copper, bronze or silver. For most people, wooden wands work best. Wood is considered a traditional material for making wands due to its special properties, or "vibrations". Personally, I prefer wooden wands. The choice of wood type is yours. The magicians of ancient times preferred walnut, the Druids preferred yew, rowan or hawthorn. It is easiest to work with soft woods such as pine, cedar and spruce, especially if you intend to carve the wand.

The traditional length of the wand is the distance from the tip of your middle finger to your elbow. A length of eighteen to twenty-one inches (45-53 cm) is also considered traditional. The thickness of the wand should be equal to the thickness of the middle or thumb. You can use a strip of uniform thickness to make a wand, although most wands taper towards the end. In addition, it is good if you find the material for the wand yourself. Look for a fallen tree for this purpose and always thank both it and the spirits of nature for what has been given to you.

You yourself have to decide whether to remove the bark from the branch or leave it. In addition, you can polish the wand, paint or varnish it at your discretion. The handle can be simple, indistinguishable from the rod itself; you can wrap it in fabric, leather or copper wire. Alternatively, you can leave the bark on the handle and remove it from the rest of the wand. Some inlay the wand with one or more crystals. In my opinion, this is of no use. Personally, I prefer to decorate the tip of the wand with a piece of silver or copper.

The entire wand can be covered with symbols, either burned or painted. In short, you can decorate the wand to your liking. The main thing is that every action you take must have meaning. You can decorate the end of the wand with a double-horned quartz crystal, burn runes along its entire length, and wrap the handle in purple cloth. All this must be done not because the rod is more attractive in this form. The fact is that the crystal enhances energy, the runes provide a connection with traditions, and purple is the color of power.

In other words, you must have a good reason for any action performed with the wand. This applies to all other magical instruments. All work on making a wand should pursue one goal: to fill it with your energy. During the process of making a wand, constantly remember its magical purpose.

Magical tools

ROD
The wand is one of the main tools in Wicca. It has been used in witchcraft and religious rituals for thousands of years. It is a tool of invocation - the Goddess and God can be called upon to oversee the ritual by words (invocation) and the raising of the wand. It is used to channel energies, draw magical symbols or a circle on the ground. Traditional types of trees from which wands are made are willow, elderberry, oak, apple tree, cherry tree, peach tree, hickory and others.

AND THERE
The magic dagger has an ancient history. In Wicca it is used to channel the energy awakened during rituals and spells.

A dagger, blunt or double-edged, preferably with a black or dark handle - black color collects and stores energy well. When a dagger is used in a ritual to channel energy, some of this power is collected in the hilt - a fairly small amount, but it can be called upon later. The handle should be large enough so that the hand does not come into contact with the metal of the dagger. Some sorcerers engrave magical symbols on their daggers, usually taken from the Key of Solomon, but this is not necessary. Like most magical tools, the dagger gains power from your touch and use.

BOLIN
The white dagger is an ordinary working knife, as opposed to a purely ritual magic dagger. It is used for cutting branches and medicinal herbs, for carving symbols on candles or wood, clay, wax and when cutting rope for magical purposes. It is usually a dagger with a white handle to distinguish it from a magical dagger, and the blade may be crescent shaped.

BOOK OF SHADOWS
The Book of Shadows is a book that contains all the rituals, laws, rules of witchcraft, information about herbs, stones and trees, recipes for ritual food, styles of ritual clothing, descriptions of dances and spells, methods of fortune telling and their results and all other information belonging to the sorcerer - an individual or a whole community.
Naturally, there is no generally accepted Book of Shadows. Every Wiccan tradition. however, it has its own Book of Shadows, to which each community adds something of its own, and each witch, too, in particular. The Book of Shadows, in theory, should be kept secret, but many people publish their books over time. According to tradition, the Book of Shadows must be destroyed upon the death of its owner.

BROOM
The broom is used in magical practice as a cleansing tool. For example, before performing a ritual, the place for it is cleaned with a broom. This is more than a physical cleansing of the place - the branches that make up the broom do not have to touch the ground. After this, the altar is set up, other instruments are laid out, and the ritual begins.
It is also a powerful tool against evil spells. Lying across the threshold, the broom protects the house and everyone in it from directed spells. Lying under the pillow, it protects the sleeping person and brings him pleasant dreams.
As a cleansing tool it is associated with Water and is used in all types of Water spells. The broom is a sacred instrument of both the Goddess and God.
An old recipe for making a broom: twigs of birch, a cleansing tree, are used for twigs; The stick is made from ash, which has protective properties, and willow, the sacred tree of the Goddess, is used for binding.

BELL
The bell is an ancient ritual instrument. The strike of the bell releases sound vibrations filled with power, in accordance with the fullness, tone and material of the bell itself. The bell is a feminine symbol and is often used in rituals to invoke the Goddess. The bell is also believed to ward off evil spirits. A bell is rung to mark the beginning and end of the ritual.
As a resonant metal instrument, the bell belongs to the element of Water. Therefore, bells and gongs can be used in healing rituals, love chants and prayers.

What are magical tools and magical objects? How important are they, how necessary are they, and are they needed at all? These questions are extremely rarely asked by those who decide to begin their path to magic. And you should take an interest in the essence of magical tools and objects (these are different things, and you should not combine them) before embarking on a long search for what may ultimately turn out to be an expensive, but unnecessary ballast on the path to the heights of knowledge.

And in order to understand the essence of magical tools and objects, first of all, it is necessary to get rid of the stereotypical perception that dictates its definitions to us from the depths of the subconscious. This is extremely difficult to do because it is almost an integral part of yourself. However, it is necessary to step over this barrier and realize that the most important tool, without which not a single crystal, not a single magical book will give the desired result - these are special abilities or gifts given to a person from above, and magical tools are just improvised means that help a person at the right time and in the right place to show your abilities.

And so, there is an answer to one of the questions - magical tools are needed. But which ones exactly? First of all, it is necessary to discard the stereotypes that have been developed over thousands of years and are firmly ingrained in the subconscious and realize that it is not we who choose the direction in magic, but magic that chooses for itself an assistant and guide to our world. It follows that you need to find out your predestination. This is not difficult to do - you need to carefully listen to yourself, to your feelings, do not ignore your inner voice and do not write off prophetic dreams as “nightmares”.

In order not to waste time on erroneous attempts, compare the manifestations of the paranormal in yourself with the definitions of the direction of magic, and it will immediately become clear whether you are a medium or a necromancer, a seer, a sorcerer or a psychic, a mentalist, or have the ability to hypnosis. Based on a certain direction, a tool is selected. However, even here it is necessary by all means to move away from stereotypes and pay attention not to the appearance of the object and its place in the list of tools of the greatest magicians of history, but to the objects that themselves “came” to you. It could be anything - a pebble, a piece of fabric, a dried branch or a bird's skull - anything that, when touched, helps to “turn off” external stimuli and enter a working state.

Beginning seers should also not be influenced by stereotypes - a glass or crystal ball, cards, dice, runes, coffee grounds, etc., generally accepted tools, become full-fledged instruments only in those hands that are intended specifically for them. In this case, it makes sense to spend some time and try everything that can be used as a tool. And you can be sure that the magical instrument will find, one might say, choose its owner.

Let's summarize. Magic tools are objects with the help of which a person endowed with special abilities can simplify or speed up the process of entering into direct contact with representatives of the world called “other”. Moreover, a magical instrument “works” only in the hands of its creator or hereditary owner (an instrument inherited from a deceased magician). It should be added that magical tools can be both material (any physical body, animate or inanimate) and immaterial - thought, word, energy flow, energy field. It's worth distinguishing between this.

And a magical object - an amulet, a talisman, a talisman - is an object of a different kind, endowed by both nature and man with a special power that can influence its owner and his close circle; it “works” regardless of whether its owner has special abilities or not . Helping and protecting, it expands capabilities, allowing you to concentrate on the main thing.

Magical tools

Here are tips for dedicating instruments before first use or formal consecration. This should be done with directed visualization and for ritual purposes.

MAGICAL DAGGER OR SWORD

Rub the blade with fresh basil, rosemary, or oak leaves. This should be done at dawn, on the street, in a place where no one will see or disturb you. Place the sword or dagger on the ground with the tip facing South. Go around it three times clockwise, showering it with bay leaves, preferably fresh ones. Take a dagger or sword, face the East, hold the sword in your lowered hands, but with the tip up, call on God and ask Him to infuse His power into your dagger. Raise it to the sky and call on the Goddess to fill the blade of the sword with her love and power.

Wrap the sword or dagger in red cloth and take it home. It should also be stored wrapped in red cloth.

WHITE DAGGER

Early in the morning, go to the forest, park or garden. Choose the most beautiful and energetically strong plant. Carefully touch the tip of all its leaves in turn, achieving complete connection between the dagger and the plant, and accordingly with the Earth.

Sit on the ground, provide yourself with complete solitude. Draw a pentagram on the ground with the tip of the dagger. The ritual is over.

If the wand is wooden, take it outside at sunset and rub it with fresh lavender, eucalyptus or mint leaves. Raise it in the east direction (or towards the Moon if it is visible) and call upon the Goddess. At sunrise, take it outside again and rub it with fresh, fragrant leaves, and, pointing it to the East, call on God.

PENTACLE

Place it on the bare ground. Sprinkle dried parsley leaves, patchouli or mistletoe, or fresh jasmine or honeysuckle on top. Sit in front of it facing the North for a few seconds, visualizing the pentacle absorbing earthly energies. Then raise the pentacle and scatter the leaves in four directions, starting and ending with the North.

If you are doing this at home, place the pentacle on a small plate of fresh soil. Do all other steps as indicated above. Save the herbs so that later you can scatter them on the street in the same order as during magical actions.

CENSER.

Light a mixture of pure rosemary, frankincense, or copal in an incense burner before first use. The herbs should burn within an hour.

Go out to a river, stream, sea or ocean. Collect the leaves of plants growing nearby (on the banks of the sea (this could be seaweed). Immerse the cauldron in the water and, having filled it, put the leaves in the cauldron and place it at the very edge of the water. Place your hands in it and dedicate its contents to the Goddess in any words that will seem appropriate to you.

Pour out the water and dry the boiler, then return home. The cauldron was filled with magical power.

If you are worshiping at home, fill a large container or bathtub with water, after lighting the bathroom with candles. Add a little salt to the water (the water should be cold). Do everything else as described above.

Salt water corrodes metal, so be sure to wash the boiler after it.

Rub the base of the bowl with gardenia, rose or violet oil and fill it with clean rain or snow water. Place a sprig of ivy, a small rose, a fresh gardenia, or another appropriate flower or plant on the surface of the water. Peering into the cup, call on the Goddess to consecrate it. You can also take the bowl outside at night and try to catch the reflection of the lunar disk in it.

It can be made from ash, birch or willow branches. Line the broom with willow, lemon, or elderberry and mallow branches, then bury them with due solemnity. You can cut a crescent moon on the handle.

CRYSTAL

On the night of the full moon, rub the crystal ball with fresh or dry wormwood and go outside. Raise the ball up so that it absorbs the energy of the moonlight. Gaze at the Moon through the crystal, holding it before your eyes. Repeat this three times a year to maintain the magical properties of the crystal.

BOOK OF SPIRITS

Sew leaves of sacred plants - verbena, fragrant rue, laurel, willow and others - into the cover of the Book of Spirits. The leaves should be well dried, you should also secretly put them under the moonlight for a while. For this purpose, the cover of the Book of Spirits must be made of fabric.

If you decide to use a mantle, then while you are not putting it on, insert sachets filled with sprigs of lavender, verbena and cedar into its folds. Sew some rosemary or frankincense into the hem when you sew it, if you want to prevent it from staining when washed.

Magic and magical objects are inseparable things

Supernatural and otherworldly forces have always attracted and at the same time alarmed people, but in essence there are only a few people who are able to use force and have magical abilities. People capable of using magic, despite their natural talent and abilities, must learn to use their abilities for a long time and have a number of attributes without which magic is impossible.

Magically, objects are a kind of artifacts that accumulate magical power and allow a gifted person to use otherworldly forces for their own purposes. Most of the references to people who were subject to the power of magic go back to ancient times, and by analyzing the facts you can get an idea of ​​the power and strength of these people. According to beliefs, sorcerers and witches are able to talk to animals and through animals to observe people; in addition, these people are able to destroy crops and livestock, send diseases, and also, if desired, give people wealth, happiness, and predict the future.

Magic and magic tools things are indivisible, which is why in all the references people involved in magic had their own workshops in which their magical supplies were located, and all magicians have a certain set of magical tools. ;

Magic items in a magician's arsenal

In the arsenal of any magician you can find a magic pendulum, a crystal ball, magic frames and ink, and a whole range of other magical items that are necessary for performing magical rituals and deciphering messages from summoned spirits. Each of the magical objects has energy. It is not uncommon for rituals to also require a special magic dagger or knife, a pictogram, a cauldron, incense, amulet, bowls, amulets, and so on.

Each of the magical instruments is not just an ordinary object, but a special device for working with subtle energies, therefore such instruments have a number of specific magical symbols and runes that determine the magical power of the instrument.

Description of magical tools and their properties

A magic knife or dagger is used to carry out almost all rituals. This instrument itself is a dagger or knife made of dark metal with an even handle and runes and signs applied to it.

Magic pendulum capable of detecting fluctuations in living and inanimate bioenergy, and is used by magicians to search for objects, and as an indicator of the aura.

The magical crystal ball is the most mystical item in a magician's arsenal. This item serves as a guide for the magician to the world of spirits; it can show the future, past and present. This attribute can be especially often found among magicians who have the gift of looking into different time periods to find answers to their questions. Besides, magic crystal ball serves as a conductor of energy and is indispensable when conducting a number of rituals to summon spirits. It is believed that crystal is an energetically strong stone that contains enormous magical potential, which is why crystal serves as an excellent conductor to another world. Additionally, crystal is used for its ability to show spirits without letting them into our world.

A magical altar is an unchangeable and one of the most important attributes for conducting magical rituals. Some people believe that any table that is comfortable to work at will be suitable as an altar, but this is far from true. Magic altar- this is a magician’s workplace that is capable of concentrating energy flows, that is, the altar is necessary to strengthen and consolidate the flows of power during the ritual. It is believed that the altar serves as a kind of conductor for energy. Rituals performed at the altar, as well as sacrifices made in this place, allow you to enhance the impact of the energy of the ritual.

Many magicians do not use a pendulum in their practices, but instead use special framework. Magical frames react more subtly to energy. All living and inanimate objects are capable of emitting energy; if a person dies, his energy changes, but does not disappear; it is to changes and fluctuations in energy that the magic frame reacts.

Basically, magic frames are used to predict fate, search for objects and missing people, and also to determine whether a particular person is currently alive. The magic frame captures the slightest changes in the information field and transmits knowledge on the astral level to the magician. As a rule, frames are objects made from a hazel branch in the shape of the letter “U” or a metal rod in the shape of the letter “L”. In the process of searching for objects or answers to questions, the magician concentrates on the frame, and if the frame oscillates to the right, the answer is negative and the direction is chosen incorrectly, to the left, then the answer is correct and the direction is correct.

Another important attribute of any ritual is magic ink. This ink is not ordinary, it does not wash off with water and is needed for writing runes, signs, drawing pentagrams and other things. Usually the ink is made by the magician himself and consists of iron sulfate, alum and ground ink nuts.

Origin of Magical Instruments

There are two ways to obtain the necessary magical items for rituals. Witches usually inherit all the necessary things, and all inherited magical tools have very strong energy and enhance its magical potential.

If the ability for magic has awakened in a person whose roots are in no way related to magic, magical objects can be made by the magician himself. It must be remembered that each item has its own manufacturing feature and, as a rule, the power in a person itself tells how to make this or that item. ;

ABOUT THE CAMPFIRE

If you want to make a fire during a ritual held in nature, it is recommended to make it from the following tree species:
Oak
Cedar
Dogwood
mesquite tree
Juniper
Rowan
Pine
Poplar
Apple tree

If this is not possible, use the tree species that grow in your area. Ceremonies carried out on the seashore can be carried out by the light of a fire made from dry fish fins.

ABOUT THE MAGIC CIRCLE

Magical plants growing near the house in pots and boxes can be brought into the house during the ritual and placed along the magic circle. If you are working in the main room, then stop at an odd number of sacred plants and grow them in your ritual area. If they need a lot sun, then leave them outside and bring them into the house only for the duration of the ritual. Give them energy and love, and they will become your helpers in worshiping the gods and in magic.
You can use any plants except poisonous ones, but the following types are especially recommended:

Wax ivy
Hyssop
cacti
Cordyline (previously classified as Dracaena)
Red geranium (pelargonium)
Holly (holly)
Palm trees (all types)
Ferns (all types)
Rose
Rosemary
Pink geranium (pelargonium)
Usambara violet (Saintpaulia)

The magic circle can be covered with garlands of plants dedicated to the Goddess and God. Also, the perimeter of the circle can be indicated by appropriate colors.

Standing stones can be surrounded by plants corresponding to the elements:
North - corn, cypress, male fern, honeysuckle, wheat, verbena.
East - acacia, bergamot, clover, dandelion, lavender, lemon, asparagus, mint, mistletoe, parsley, pine.
South - basil, cloves, cedar, chrysanthemum, dill, ginger, heliotrope, holly, juniper, marigold, peppermint..
West - apple blossoms, lemon balm, camellia, catnip, daffodil, elderberry, gardenia, grape, heather, hibiscus, jasmine, orchid.
Fresh flowers or, if this is not possible, a male fern can be placed on the altar.
When a circle is created near a tree, you can use its fruits, leaves, nuts or flowers.
All of these can be used in addition to rocks and rope.
Bonfire
If you wanted to light a fire while performing a ritual outside, you can make it from various combinations of firewood from the following trees:
Rowan, mesquite, oak, pine, apple, dogwood, poplar, juniper, cedar.
If this is not possible, use the firewood that is available to you. The ritual, held on the seashore, can be illuminated by a fire made from dry wood collected here and thrown out by the sea.

Home magic circle

Magical plants growing in nature can be transplanted into pots and placed around the altar during a home ritual. If you usually work at home, then move wild plants in pots, each to its own ritual place. If they need more light, simply take them outside and bring them back in for the duration of the ritual. Give them energy and love and they will give you their magic and magic.
To avoid using poisonous plants, I recommend the following:
African violet, cactus (all types), male fern (all types), holly, hyssop, palms (all types), rose geranium, rose, red geranium, rosemary.
Holidays
Wear fresh flowers on your head or body during rituals. Wreaths of fresh flowers are always appropriate for spring and summer rituals. Make them from oak and pine branches in winter and autumn.
You can make yourself a necklace from herbs and seeds such as bean seeds, whole nutmegs, anise seeds, wheat and other seeds and nuts, strung with natural fibers. You can also use small pine cones.
For full moon rituals, use fragrant flowers that bloom at night. They will help you tune in appropriately to the lunar energies.

MAGICAL TOOLS

Here are tips for dedicating instruments before first use or formal consecration. This should be done with directed visualization and for ritual purposes.
MAGICAL DAGGER OR SWORD
Rub the blade with fresh basil, rosemary, or oak leaves. This should be done at dawn, on the street, in a place where no one will see or disturb you. Place the sword or dagger on the ground with the tip facing South. Go around it three times clockwise, showering it with bay leaves, preferably fresh ones. Take a dagger or sword, face the East, hold the sword in your lowered hands, but with the tip up, call on God and ask Him to infuse His power into your dagger. Raise it to the sky and call on the Goddess to fill the blade of the sword with her love and power.
Wrap the sword or dagger in red cloth and take it home. It should also be stored wrapped in red cloth.

WHITE DAGGER
Early in the morning, go to the forest, park or garden. Choose the most beautiful and energetically strong plant. Carefully touch the tip of all its leaves in turn, achieving complete connection between the dagger and the plant, and accordingly with the Earth.
Sit on the ground, provide yourself with complete solitude. Draw a pentagram on the ground with the tip of the dagger. The ritual is over.

ROD
If the wand is wooden, take it outside at sunset and rub it with fresh lavender, eucalyptus or mint leaves. Raise it in the east direction (or towards the Moon if it is visible) and call upon the Goddess. At sunrise, take it outside again and rub it with fresh, fragrant leaves, and, pointing it to the East, call on God.

PENTACLE
Place it on the bare ground. Sprinkle dried parsley leaves, patchouli or mistletoe, or fresh jasmine or honeysuckle on top. Sit in front of it facing the North for a few seconds, visualizing the pentacle absorbing earthly energies. Then raise the pentacle and scatter the leaves in four directions, starting and ending with the North.
If you are doing this at home, place the pentacle on a small plate of fresh soil. Do all other steps as indicated above. Save the herbs so that later you can scatter them on the street in the same order as during magical actions.

CENSER
Light a mixture of pure rosemary, frankincense, or copal in an incense burner before first use. The herbs should burn within an hour.

BOILER
Go out to a river, stream, sea or ocean. Collect the leaves of plants growing nearby (on the banks of the sea (this could be seaweed). Immerse the cauldron in the water and, having filled it, put the leaves in the cauldron and place it at the very edge of the water. Place your hands in it and dedicate its contents to the Goddess in any words that will seem appropriate to you.
Pour out the water and dry the boiler, then return home. The cauldron was filled with magical power.
If you are worshiping at home, fill a large container or bathtub with water, after lighting the bathroom with candles. Add a little salt to the water (the water should be cold). Do everything else as described above.
Salt water corrodes metal, so be sure to wash the boiler after it.

BOWL
Rub the base of the bowl with gardenia, rose or violet oil and fill it with clean rain or snow water. Place a sprig of ivy, a small rose, a fresh gardenia, or another appropriate flower or plant on the surface of the water. Peering into the cup, call on the Goddess to consecrate it. You can also take the bowl outside at night and try to catch the reflection of the lunar disk in it.

BROOM
It can be made from ash, birch or willow branches. Line the broom with willow, lemon, or elderberry and mallow branches, then bury them with due solemnity. You can cut a crescent moon on the handle.

CRYSTAL
On the night of the full moon, rub the crystal ball with fresh or dry wormwood and go outside. Raise the ball up so that it absorbs the energy of the moonlight. Gaze at the Moon through the crystal, holding it before your eyes. Repeat this three times a year to maintain the magical properties of the crystal.

BOOK OF SPIRITS
Sew leaves of sacred plants - verbena, fragrant rue, laurel, willow and others - into the cover of the Book of Spirits. The leaves should be well dried, you should also secretly put them under the moonlight for a while. For this purpose, the cover of the Book of Spirits must be made of fabric.

MANTLE
If you decide to use a mantle, then while you are not putting it on, insert sachets filled with sprigs of lavender, verbena and cedar into its folds. Sew some rosemary or frankincense into the hem when you sew it, if you want to prevent it from staining when washed.
