General information: Wicca 101 on a Dollar Store Budget

When I first decided to practice wicca, I knew it would be a endless quest
for knowledge. Little did I realize, it began a long search for things I had
never heard of. Items I couldn't even pronounce, like Athame; alone finding
one somewhere. Things are much easier now, as there are occult shops and
the Internet. But still, I don't think it is right, not being able to practice a religion, due to
lacking items in the ritual because of cost or inaccessibility. So, I have this advice for
anyone who may find themselves in this same dilemma. My first athame was a dollar
store knife I consecrated and decorated.
Many useful herbs can be found in discount grocery stores, dollar stores and even in
nature. Get a field guide from the library, and sees what grows locally. Remember when
collecting from nature, don't take more than you need, & NEVER use any plants you
collect for medicinal use. People have unfortunately been poisoned by collecting the
wrong type of plants.
Epsom Salts and Table Salts work fine for consecration.
Most, if not all libraries have books on wicca in which you can check out and Xerox
information.
Regular grill charcoal can be used to burn herbs, as well as several layers of aluminum
foil to be used as a candle holder, cauldron or incense holder. The foil will deflect the
heat and protect the surface from wax.
My altar, is a end table I picked up at a yard sale and refinished .
