TOOLS
Tools of the craft
altar- A table where spell casting takes place, offerings are made, and tools are kept during a ritual.
amulet- A concecrated (blessed) stone or metal object with a rune or other Magickal symbol on it. These objects posses powers based on the material and symbol.
Athame- a double edged blade used by some wiccans to store energies and draw their magickal circles. The athame is NEVER used as a tool for sacrifice, and is often dulled.
bell-used to show the beginning or close of a sabbat (ceremony/holiday). Can also be used as a fertility charm or a talisman.
Besom- a straw broom used today by some Wiccans to purify the area for the sacred circle. It is also used as a decoration and a sign of fertility.
Boleen-A white handled working knife that has a curved blade. Unlike the athame(see above) this kife is very sharp and is used to harvest herbs, not harbor circle-casting energies.
Book Of Shadows-A personal journal of Magickal spells, tools, altar settings, and personal incantations of Wicca.
Cauldron-A cast iron, black pot, used to burn incense, brewing potions, or symbolically combinding the elements.
Censor-an incense burner, representing the element air during a ceremony.
Chalice- A sacred cup or goblet used to hold concecrated water or wine (sometimes cider).
Pentacle- The symbol of a five pionted star. The lower 4 points represent the four elements (earth, air, fire, and water) and the top point representing akasha, or the focus of all energies combinde. The point is turned upward, signifying that all these energies are going to God and Goddess
