You will find information on coming teaching on developing a sacred space, and should you choose to work with an athame, wand or chalice, you can use representations that are quite clearly associated with the idea behind the magic. You might wish to carry such things with you for use on your travels, which means that you can set up an altar anywhere, both out of doors and inside, according to your own beliefs. You might also use the material roll as your altar cloth.

YOU WILL NEED:
Material such as linen, velvet, or felt to make your traveling roll

Broad elastic or material to hold your tools in place

A needle or small paper knife to represent an athame

Small piece of wooden dowelling or a straight twig to represent a wand

Very small tumbler or oyster shell as a chalice

Coin or dog tag with a pentagram etched on it

Suitable lucky charms or cake decorations as representations of your deities

Birthday cake candles

Four small containers, e.g. vials or empty spice jars, for your chosen incense or herbs, salt, water and anointing oil

Matches

Crystals or tumbled stones as a cardinal point markers (green, yellow, red, and blue stones work well)

METHOD:
✤ Make yourself a traveling roll from the material so you can keep your tools together safely. This is similar to the type of carrier in which a carpenter keeps his tools. The elastic will keep them securely in place.

✤ You can also include anything else that you feel is important to your rituals.

✤ Dedicate your objects with an appropriate form of words. You might say:

O Great Mother,

As I travel over your forests, fields, and watery ways,

Bless and empower this pouch with its symbols of your power.

Verdant God,

Have me use them wisely and well,

So that together we manifest your authority.

May it always be with me

So that, wherever I am, so also are both of you.

These traveling tools are now dedicated to the use anywhere, at any time, and under any conditions.

Often they can be used unobtrusively without anyone needing to know what you are doing.

Wand

The wand should be no longer than the forearm and is often made from sacred wood. Since the wand is a very personal object, it should be chosen carefully and equally carefully attuned to your energies. It cannot be used magically until it has been consecrated.

You will not need to use all of your tools all of the time and you should develop for yourself some way of storing them so that they retain their potency. You can do this by perhaps keeping them on your altar or in your sacred space. Use a specially dedicated box or other container or, if you know they are not likely to be interfered with, simply wrapped in black silk or velvet. Treat your tools with respect and they will serve you well.
