Spells and Book of Shadows



Wands are sticks that in harmony with Nature that are used in healing; to invoke and conduct powerful energies; to trace circles; to stir cauldrons; and, to draw magical symbols on the ground.

A ritual knife with a white handle called a Boline is used for utilitarian purposes like harvesting herbs, carving magical symbols onto talismans and candles, and cutting wooden wands and cords.

A ritual knife, usually double bladed with a black handle, called a Athame is never used to cut anything physical. It is a magical tool charged with the personal power energy of the owner and is used to cast magical circles and to conduct their will during spells and rituals.

A straw broom called a Besom is used before casting a circle to sweep away negative energies. It is also used in ceremonies such as handfastings, as well as, for sympathetic magic rituals, like showing the crops how high to grow by straddling the broomstick and jumping up and down.

A consecrated, hollow metal, altar bell that sends out a tone when struck is used to summon the deities; as charms and talismans; and, for other magical purposes.
