What To Know About Wiccan Altar Supplies

By Tara Webb


People often have a hard time finding items for their Wiccan practices. This is why some choose to take their search online, since many stores offer a wide selection of Wiccan altar supplies that can be delivered around the globe. Even so, sometimes it helps to know what might be available and what to look for.

You can find various stores online through a number of methods. Some stores may provide their web address through classified ads, local advertisements, or even with business cards. However, most people tend to find stores by asking around and doing their own search. Searching online can be done by focusing on the items you need and many stores offer delivery services.

Most people find that it helps to make a list, particular if they need to get more than one item. The list can also be used to search for things through an actual search engine. This is more so since many stores offer a wide variety of items to choose from, even if you initially are looking for one thing in particular.

You can learn a lot about the different kinds of supplies that are typically used during ceremonies or rituals. Such information can typically be located on store websites, but you can also find things out by checking into online forums or related websites. Getting to know a community of fellow Wiccans can be ideal for learning more about the practice, and you may even find that they can refer you to some great stores or items as well.

The typical types of supplies that are used can generally vary on the type of ritual that's being done, along with each individual's preference at the time. Due to this, many find that it can be beneficial to have as many items on hand, so that they're not scrambling to order things at the very last second. Some of the more useful items tend to include twine, bowls, bags or boxes, mortars and pestles, ceremonial or divination cloths, and scribing tools for candles. Of course, candles, oils, and herbs are always important to have, too.

Many items can include tools that are used during rituals as well as during other times. Some tools might include scrying mirrors, pendulums, bowls, wands, along with specific types of blades. Two types of blades are traditionally used in Wicca practices, which include a boline and an athame. An athame is often what an individual will use during a ritual, but it's often not meant for cutting physical items. A boline, on the other hand, is used for kitchen-type practices, such as for cutting cords, herbs, and for scribing candles.

Other items that you might want to have on hand might involve twine, pouches or bags, a broom, cauldrons, and an actual altar. These days, many places offer finely crafted altars that vary in sizes and style, and many of them can be delivered directly to your residence. Incense is also used during a ritual, along with crystals, runes, and other divination tools.

If you happen to be new to practicing Wicca and shopping for Wiccan altar supplies, you can usually get help from a seller. Many places also provide beginner ritual kits, along with tutorial CDs, DVDs and books. These can be great tools for those who are new or need to brush up on their Wicca.
