broomsticks, these are another thing that comes to mind when most people hear the word, “witch”. They are used to mix lotions and potions but don’t have to be either round or black so generally associated with the Shakespearian incarnation. Any suitable heatproof vessel will do as long as it has been properly consecrated.
Chalices
Used for drinking consecrated liquids during magic making, especially when more than one spell caster is present. Some people use elaborate, metal ones that are studded with semi-precious stones. Others enjoy the simplicity of crystal or glass. It is really just a matter of personal choice.
Charcoal
Often used to burn incense. Herbs strewn over glowing charcoal are also a part of many spells. Like everything else, it has to be consecrated before use. Efficient spell casters consecrate a large bag all at once and then dip into it as needed.
Censers
Used to burn incense. They are mounted on metal feet so that the heat of burning charcoal will not damage the surface on which they rest.
Compass
Used by practical witches to determine north, south, east, and west – and they are essential if one is weaving magic in an unfamiliar area.
Cords
Used to create magic circles in which to weave spells and also in spells that are cast to create binding magic.
Crystals
Used for the power they add to a spell and also for altar decoration. Every spell caster has his or her own favorite stone, which they know from experience works for them. Each crystal holds its own power and will give different results.
