Wicca Altar and Tools A Beginners Guide to Wiccan Altars Tools for Spellwork and Casting the Circle - Practicing the Craft - Volume 2
Author: Lisa Chamberlain

Everything You Need to Know to Begin Your Wiccan Ritual Practice You most likely already know that Wicca is very different from most other contemporary religions. There is no specified holy text to follow, no single, all-encompassing deity, and there are no official buildings?churches, temples, or otherwise?where worship and prayer take place. T... more »here are also no specific centuries-old traditions to adhere to rigidly, because although Wicca was inspired by practices from earlier times in history, it is a modern religion that is continually evolving.

Nonetheless, Wicca still shares one significant element with various other religions around the globe: the use of an altar with sacred objects to honor and communicate with the divine. The altar is widely considered to be the central physical focus of Wiccan spiritual activity, as it hosts the rituals for Sabbats and Esbats, as well as any personal rituals and/or spellwork that practitioners wish to engage in. If you?re looking to learn how to participate in this beautiful and inspiring religion, acquiring or creating a personal altar is an excellent place to begin.

You?ll also need at least a few ritual tools to start with, such as candles for honoring the God and Goddess, as well as an athame and a chalice. Through symbolism and ritual, these tools?along with the altar itself?connect us with the Goddess and the God in celebration of our participation in the natural cycles of life on Earth. There is as much divinity in each of us as there is in the ocean, and as much power in the branch of a tree as in the beam of a temple. Similarly, when we dedicate a physical object like a wand or a chalice to the pursuit of spiritual connection, that?s exactly what results.

In Wicca Altar and Tools, best-selling author Lisa Chamberlain provides an introduction to the Wiccan altar and the tools of ritual and spellwork. With ideas for how to find or make an altar that?s perfect for your own personal practice, descriptions and explanations of each ritual tool, and even suggestions for clothing and jewelry you might wear for these spiritual occasions, this guide contains everything you need to know to get started with your ritual practice.

Making Your Practice Your Own For people new to Wicca, the amount of ?stuff? that seems to be required can seem overwhelming, but it needn?t be. First off, it should be made clear that nothing at all is required for connecting with the divine beyond your mind, your heart, and your spirit. Secondly, you have options in terms of your own personal practice?not every tool is absolutely necessary, and you don?t have to spend a fortune in order to have a beautiful altar with all the items you wish to incorporate. Wicca Altar and Tools will show you how to take your own unique approach to your physical practice, with plenty of information, including: The pagan origins of the altar and its incorporation into Wicca The role of the altar and ritual tools in Wiccan ceremony The key ritual tools used in most traditional forms of Wicca The most common magical ingredients used in Wiccan spellwork The purpose and importance of casting the circle before ritual Tips for creating and setting up your own altar Suggestions for locating and acquiring tools for ritual and spellwork Instructions for energetic clearing and charging of all tools and ingredients By the end of this guide, you?ll be well-prepared to begin your own practice of observing the Sabbats and Esbats, working spells, and performing various other rites and rituals that make up the wonderfully eclectic faith we call Wicca. Take your time, listen to your intuition, and enjoy the journey!
