1 Tarot Deck
Your first deck does not have to be fancy. For years I used the classic Rider Waite tarot because I wanted to get to know the cards with all their interpretations before I expanded out to different layouts and designs. If you can’t get a tarot deck right away, use the internet. Start with the Major Arcana cards and get familiar with their look and definitions. Then add additional suits when you start to familiarize yourself.
2 Candles
Your candle collection can grow overtime. If you are just starting out grab some basic white pillars or my absolute favorite candles are tea lights. Mostly because they are adorable and you can set them around in a circle and use as many as you like.
3 Quartz Crystal(s)
Crystals are like candles in that your collection for them will grow over time. If you are just starting out, pick a simple clear quartz chunk you can set out in your personal space and began connecting to that energy. Eventually you can add to your crystal collection a little at a time when you feel drawn to a particular crystal type.
4 Notebook
Any notebook or papers or binder full of papers. Doesn’t have to look like anything special but you’ll need a place to take notes, write your thoughts, and jot down what worked and what didn’t work for you.
5 Incense
Incense is a great way to elevate the vibe before any spell work and cleanse your space. Choose any incense for this.
6 Moon Water
A great tool to have for cleansing and connection. Make you own with a simple DIY recipe on the next full moon. Reference HERE
7 Sacred Space
I know how difficult this can be especially with little kids, small shared living spaces or just small spaces in general. It took me YEARS before I had enough room to set up an actual dedicated space just for witchcraft. But even if you have little to no room, make a small temporary area from time to time where you can set up your offerings or just where you can place your items and look at them. It’ll help you stay connected to your energy and purpose.
8 Favorite Essential Oil
Start with one and pick a scent you love. My favorite is Jasmine or Rose. But I love a musky scent too so I’m not really helpful. Use essential oils to anoint candles, wear as a personal scent or during meditation to lift your energy.
9 Salt
Used for protection and cleansing. This is a super easy go to tool that almost everybody has and is very easily accessible.
10 Internet
Instagram, Pinterest, Google, are all great resources to help you research and learn more about witchcraft. Books are always my fave but the internet has really opened up a whole new space for witches online and a community of people you can learn and grow from. <3 (as always don’t believe every single thing online but there is no harm in starting your research on the internet)
