A Guide to Modern Wicca & Spirit Contact
| Inroduction to the Craft:
I do not have any idea how you came across this page, but there is one thing you must understand. We do not support or practice any type of intentionally dark magic. This can result in consequences that we have experienced first-hand, The accounts outlined and described in the 'Stumbling and Falling' section are to show you what can go wrong, so you do not make the same mistakes. We are adding new information all the time. If you have any questions or comments just contact us and we will answer you on the sight or post your comment on the page and credit you. This page is noting but a circle of practitioners sharing information and teaching others what we know. TO FIND ANYTHING ON THIS PAGE, PRESS 'CTRL' + 'F' AND TYPE IN THE KEYWORD. |
| The Principals of Magic:
Magic is (as described by Raymond Buckland) the building up of a specific type of energy (usually associated with colors, a guide to which can also be found on this page) through chanting, dancing, or any other type of ritual, then suddenly and completely releasing it towards a specific goal. This is how a spell or magic works. Because Magic is so powerful and influential on the lives of others, there are a few basic guidelines we have compiled to keep the magic pure and safe. The Three-Fold Law- 'Do unto others as you'd have them do onto the, for it will return three times three times three' . This law has been headed by Wiccan¡¦s since the beginning of magic. Whatever types of influence you send out to others (be it positive or negative) it will return to you three fold. Notice how the law doesn't say that you aren't allowed to send out negative energy, it just lets you know that it¡¦s going to come back your way. Invocation- To invoke a spirit into your body is a very dangerous practice. What you are doing is surrendering your body to an unknown entity. This sacrifices all of your free will, you yourself cannot force the energy from your body, it must leave of it's own accord. Many times the entity can be convinced to leave through an exorcism, which will also be outlined on this site. |
EARTH Wiccan Tool: Cauldron or Pentacle Altar/Ritual Circle Location: North Suggestion for Representation: To represent Earth in your Ritual circle, we suggest a cup of salt, dirt (ours rests in a porcelain pumpkin), or herbs and seeds. Ritual Use: The solid element. Useful for magic which is aimed at steady progress, financial security, fertility and overall abundance. This element is indeed good for all things worked in the physical form. 
AIR Wiccan Tool: Athame or Wand Altar/Ritual Circle Location: East Suggestion for Representation: To represent Air in your Ritual Circle, we suggest burning incense. Ritual Use: The elusive element. Enables you to send messages (communication) and write poetry. Air also gives you clarity of thought and aids in studying, magical dreaming and working with spirits. 
FIRE Wiccan Tool: Athame, wand or sword Altar/Ritual Circle Location: South Suggestion for Representation: To represent Fire in your Ritual circle, we suggest burning a white candle. Ritual Use: The Element of clarity. Fire represents passion and emotion along with the gathering of people. It is helpful in destroying bad habits and burning away those things we don't need in our lives. It brings purity, enlightenment, power and vision. 
WATER Wiccan Tool: Cauldron or Chalice Altar/Ritual Circle Location: West Suggestion for Representation: To represent Water in your Ritual circle, we suggest a bowl of holy water. Holy water can be made by combining some of your salt (Element of Earth) with your water (we use purified water from a filter) while saying an incantation. Ritual Use: The element of movement. Water cleanses and purifies, it represents the subconscious and spiritual energy, along with nurturing, abundance, movement and transformations. 
SPIRIT or ALL 4 ELEMENTS or HEXAGRAM Wiccan Tool: Altar/Ritual Circle Location: Center Suggestion for Representation: Your Altar Pentacle. Ritual Use: The Fifth Element (no, not the movie with Bruce Willis). This symbol gives you command and is the binding link over all four elements, Earth, Air, Fire and Water. It is created by calling all these elements together into one circle. The Element of Spirit is used when you want to call upon a specific deity. This symbol is drawn by uniting the Fire and Water symbols. |

Alter Tool Basics The tools you need in wicca . Athame It is pronounced ATH-amay Not Athame . The athame is a ritual knife , resembeling a dagger .Usualy double ended with a Black or White handle.The Athame Represents Fire. It Is used to cast a circle , Never to cut anything physical. It is only symbolic ,I suggest to dull the blade if at all possible to prevent any incedents in the future. Chalice A chalice or cup Represent Water . Alter Chalices or cups typicaly are a stemmed goblet style , but any cup will do , A mug or a glass will Subtitute just fine . Your cup is used to hold the water or wine for drinking at the end of a ritual or circle. Wand The wand Is the tool of Air. Your wand can be any material you feel drawn to (wood, metal, bone). In rituals The wand is used to direct Energy . Wands also tend to be the instrument most wiccans create themself. Pentacle There is A difference between a pentacle and a petagram. A pentacle is a five sided star with only one point facing north. There is a common misconception with that and a pentagram which is a five sided star with two points facing north . Now that we have that verified Lets go into greater detail . The pentacle Represents Earth , It is used to cleanse and concencrate other Items on your altar .Your altar pentacle can be anything from a simple pendant, to a large table-top platen. Typical pentacles are metal, ceramic or carved from wood. Couldren The cauldron represents Water, like the chalice. Most Wiccans don't actively use cauldrons but keep one for the symbolism , Although If you are activily involved with potion magick Couldren come in quite handy . Couldrens are typicly made from a cast Iron ,and usualy are pot - bellied in style . Though it represents Water, many rituals also call for small fires to be burned in the cauldron. If you plan on doing this, make sure to have a cauldron that can take the heat. Bowl Of Salt You can use a bowl of salt to represent the Earth, rather than an altar pentacle. Salt is used to cleanse other tools, crystals, jewelry or any item that may pick up negative energy. A small bowl of salt (coarse sea salt is best) is simply kept on the altar |
