They’re really not too expensive. Two or three nights on the street should cover the lot.

You dont need that many supplies. Most are regular household items.
Join some discussion groups and you will learn many DIY projects.

I really as a friend recommend you don’t turn to this false religion. You are much more better than this.

Romans 1:25
They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.

Hebrews 9:27

Just as man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment,

Deuteronomy 18:10 Let no one be found among you who sacrifices his son or daughter in?a? the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, 11 or casts spells, or who is a medium or spiritist or who consults the dead. 12 Anyone who does these things is detestable to the Lord, and because of these detestable practices the Lord your God will drive out those nations before you. 13 You must be blameless before the Lord your God.

God loves you too much to fall into such filth the devil just wants to confuse you with and trap you. I know its hard to understand now but take it from me you are not seeing the car crash ahead of you the destructive road that leads to death. Ask God to help make your paths straight and seek him not death. My mother was interested in ghosts and stuff and then as years went by she heard a laugh and im not even going to tell you how much horror we went through as a family just getting interested in ghosts its not a way to turn to. All the devil wants is to cause chaos and destruction in ones life trust me you dont want such a burden even if you think its okay.

1 Peter 5:8

8 Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.

ADD: I hope and pray you listen because we all die alone and how sad it would be for you to waste such life and die a sinner. You really dont know what you are getting yourself into my friend people sometimes only see their faults after they have experienced it. I know this all sounds cliche about throwing religion on you but lol i would be a murderer if i didnt let you hear the truth its like holding the cure for cancer and not telling anyone about it. Repent ask for forgiveness because even the lord would forgive you for this. Listen to your fellow christians becuase there not here to cast stones at you, there here to help you and only wicked people would only tell you to turn to such wickedness. Ive said my last words but dont turn away from help when you have a helping hand to get you out of a ditch grab that hand before its too late, are your friends going to save you from death?

I have been wicca since birth, officially dedicated myself in 94 and I will tell you that supplies are just tools. I get me herbs from the kitchen, candles can be birthday candles or if you want to make them yourself use wax crayons and melt them down. Wands can be you own finger or a twig that has fallen from a tree that you may have decorated with a bit of glitter, ribbons and glue or even carved. One of those who answered had a great idea of getting in touch with other wicca. Some may trade or sell their extras for little money. I got my athame at a yard sale because it felt right at the time. You don’t need a lot. Robes aren’t even necessary, just choose something from your closet and keep it just for ritual. If you have specific questions on how to make some of these things, let me know, or give me a list and I will see if I can help you with ideas.

Wicca for many years.

I’m not Wiccan, but I am a poor college Pagan and have perfectly cool rituals using random things I keep in my home. For Beltaine, my friend and I just grabbed some ale, apples, honey, candles, incense and tiny candies and ended up with a full day ritual. Wicca is known for being highly ritualized, much like Catholicism, when it isn’t always necessary. I think generally the most important part of any religion is to acknowledge your deity/ies and to give them some sort of offering. Deities get that you may be terribly poor and generally appreciate that you took the time to do something for them.

If you’re REALLY big on supplies, you can get affect yet impoverish supplies scamming from your parents’ kitchen (a cup or fancier candle holder for a chalice, steak or butter knife for an athame, lighters/matches, herbs or kidnapping old flowers your dad got your mom and she threw out when they got old) outside (herbs, wands from twigs, stones etc), thrift stores, dollar stores, grocery stores and wal-mart (they actually have a lot of cheap incense and oils in their craft and home goods-candle section).

If you can afford a book, "The Urban Primitive" is a book that outlines what my friends and I call "Hobo Magik". It specifically cites ways that you can do pretty much anything you could ever want without spending a dime (for example, to get flower petals go a florist’s dumpster, using broken bottles and stones to represent the elements or protect your car with a dragon spirit) and if you do have a small bit of money, it gives cheap alternatives to a lot of expensive things. It’s definitely worth it if you want to use a lot of magik and spend as little as humanly possible.

So I will tell you that reconnecting with my path has been a long and infromative road. I had in the past gave everything once collected and created to family and friends because of cirumstances I will not get into. In the last year I have returned to my chosen path and have discovered that things bought in the past are are quite a bit more expensive than in previous years so I understand your concern with cash flow issues.

However, I have always connected more with the items I have either made myself or have been gifted by someone as opposed to store bought items. They are charged more with your intent rather than some of the negative energy of others, For example, a fallen tree branch from the woods makes and excellent wand which you can create into a beutiful piece of artwork by transforming it into exactly what you want. The beaches tend to have hag stones or natural formed holy stones on them and you can sometimes find quartz crytals there as well if you are lucky. Some everyday household cooking herbs are nown for magickal purposes as well and can be burned as incense or used for the creation of satchets, pillows, herbal infusions for yourbath etc.

a simple cup already in your home can act as a chalice, any surface you are comfortable with can become an altar and there is no right or wrong way to set that up, its all a matter of what is scared to you. Simple stones you feel a connection with can act as your elementals or power stones. The possibilities are endless and there are many websites, videos, etc where you can access free pagan and wiccan music, craft ideas, symbols, etc.

The main focus is that you don’t lose sight of your personal beliefs and you strive to always connect with nature and your spiritual center. Having expensive items that are not necessary does not make you a practicing wiccan,, your daily activities and actions are what does.

Yoou can do routine and daily affirmations these are free. You can access candles for burning purposes almost anywhere including the dollar store where you may even get a boat load for a dollar. You can make teas and infusions from what is already in your home. Meditation is always free and the easiest way to come to clarity as to how to obtain what you think you need. Ther are also a lot of blogers that do free giveaways with these items. I would look into them if you are adement about wiccan ritual tools.

Many blessings to you.
