The Witch's Tools
"In any ritual, it is important that all equipment is thoroughly cleansed, purified and charged, before use.
The Ceremonial Daggers
In the Craft of Wicca, there are two ceremonial daggers, the purist knife and the athame. The purist knife is a utility knife that has a white handle and a single sharp edge. The White handled knife is used mostly for cutting. The athame has a black handle and a blunt tapered edge, this is used for the conjuration of the circle and commanding the spirits.
The Sword of Power
In Wicca, a sword is often used instead of an athame for the casting of the Circle. The sword is an extension of the athame and obtains its name from the time when only those who were entitled were allowed to carry swords.
Incenses and Perfumes
Incense is regarded as the purifying element of air and it is employed in every temple to cleanse the place of worship and the things contained within it. In Wicca, incense is used for many purposes. There are incenses that are used for purification, incenses for attracting certain qualities, and incences used to create atmospherics. The incense used in the planetary rituals must correspond exactly to the rite.
