The Basics of Tools and Rituals
an athame. Altars are central to Wiccan ritual and many non-Wiccan
spell casters use them, too. The shape and location are irrelevant – they
can be round or square, indoors or outdoors: all a spell caster has to do to
create an altar is ritually cleanse and consecrate it in exactly the same
way as the other tools. That done, the altar is created.
Altars are usually candlelit and in Wiccan practice there are usually two
special candles – one gold to represent the Lord and the sun, and a silver
one standing for the Lady and the moon. Among the objects found on
most altars are a bowl of salt and a bowl of water to represent these two
elements, incense, an essential oil burner and many of the other things
that are commonly used in making magic.
