Ritual Tools 

11/14/2011 - We have started to add the ritual too items to the site.  

 

 

Images of the god and Goddess:

Many traditions place them on the altar. The nature of these images are of great variety. Some simply use candles; others natural objects representative of the Goddess & God. Still other Wiccans use hand-crafted sculptors or drawings. Genuine clay is available that, when dried in a normal oven, becomes quite hard. It can be used to create your own interpretations of the Goddess & God.

The Pen of Art:

This is a special pen that is used ONLY for entry of informaiton into the book of shadows.  This may be any kind of writing instrument.  A standard store bought pen will due, but most people tend to go something that more suits their style.  A plume, a calligraphy pen or even a japanese brush with ink.   It is a reflection of your personal style and will.

The Pentacles:

There is a lot of argument by individuals and different covens as to the "proper" way to use the pentacle in ritual and celebration use.   It is our opinion at Ancient Pathway that you should use this powerful tool in any way that makes you feel comfortable.
The Pentacle is a circle surrounding a five pointed upright start, known as a pentagram.  This is worn as a witch's symbol of belief and used in some magickal workings or ceremonies.   Each point has a specific meaning: Earth, Air, Fire, Water and Spirit.  
According to most pagan faiths, it is blashemy to wear a pentacle with the point facing down, with the exeception of in ritual during a second degree initiation in which it is an indicatin of the fulfillment of a function of growth.
