Many people like to use incense and sage on a regular basis for cleansing, meditation and a variety of other things. Those are both fairly cheap. Tools can often be substituted with household items. Candles are a good thing to have in supply. White taper are good because they can be used to substitute other colors for many workings. Other then that I would say it depends on what you plan on doing, and what you like to use. Blessings on your path :)
As for help on meditation, you could search the forums for information. Anything that can help you relax and calm your mind can help. There are guided meditation videos on youtube using music. Aromatherapy helps some. I feel it is best to learn in a quiet environment while sitting, or even relaxing in a bath.
when you start out it's always tempting to buy all the latest and greatest. really, you should by a book for beginners, i suggest Wicca for Life by Raymond Buckland. after that, you should get things as you go on, your tools should call to you, when you see them you should think 'this is right for me'
in terms of must have tools, candles and incents are easy to get, and cheep, but an athame or wand. personally i'm more connected with my athame so i'd go for that, since you can make your wand. if you want herbs and crystals and other ingredience for spells, it doesn't matter much, dried last longer, and it comes down to what you want to be casting. for crystals, quarts is most common. herb wise vervain off the top of my head. most things like dandilion are common enough and it's best to harvest your own herbs anyway. try buying herbs and starting an herb garden, i've had a small one, but it died a long time ago, so i'm starting a new one this year.
So how is your journey coming along Kimmeh? Im here to help you In anyway questions on the wiccan lifestyle etc...Just Email me in here to help my fellow Wiccans :)
hello kim my name also start with kim i can't tell my real name my age is 13 i'm learning witchcraft to i can't tell my contry i love magic so much i'm learning this spells to help my self from being hurt from my mom and others oh yeah i learn some dark magic to!
If I had that much money to blow on begginer suplies, id get 1.Medium sized candles of every color. 2.Each kind of incense from a "mix and match" incesne stand. 3.A book or two on magic/spells/spirits/energy/elements/sstones...ect... 4.One item of a random sort to use as an alter item, something personal that cannot expire, such as a ring. Then again, going to a rocky area and picking up a prety stone would be just as good as #4. Well there ya go, what macncheez would do in ur situation:) lol
hello i am new...i just met a wiccan.she is now my friend and opened my life to witchcraft and me and her now think i might be a witch. so i did some research online and tried websites for spells. most of them of course did not work but one spell on this site did work and i look forward to being a memeber of this site.
Hello my name is mikey and here's my two cents. I'd get a thing of salt its useful, insincere try to get the real ones not the dollar ones, the real ones normally $5, a journal for ur self on it, candles, and the things every one else said, if u need any help u can ask, especially about aura that's my speciality. Hope this helps, Blessed be :)
