I shall need an alter. I shall need to make one in my room. I shall need a flat surface and a cover (white is a multipurpose color). Incense symbolizes air and is highly recommended, but it's Witches choice. (they recommend three kings and vervain, but urge you to make it your own)

A prepared Witch: (copy and paste. It all seemed too important to mince words.)

Prior to your spell working prepare yourself a nice relaxing bath. Add a hand full of sea salt to get your charges set where they need to be. Light a few candles, turn off the light and relax. Clear your mind of the junk you have picked up through out the day. Visualize the water washing all the negativity away from you. It is very important that your mind be at ease and clear prior to any spell working.

Candles can come from anywhere as long as they are cleansed and consecrated. From a store, they recommend beeswax candles because it comes from nature and is more powerful. (mine sadly will be the cheapest store bought items. One day I will proudly make my own.) To cleanse and consecrate: "Submerge the candle in sea salt and the ask The Lord and Lady to bless it using words from your heart." Then we dress the Candle. The author recommends lotus oil. "To bring something to you, rub oil on the candle in a downward motion from the top to the middle and then from the bottom to the middle. To send something away from you...you rub the oil from the middle of the candle out to the ends. Dab the remaining oil from your fingers onto your third eye and on your breast bone. Then say the following: I cleanse and consecrate this candle in the name of the Lord and the Lady. May it burn with strength in the service of the light. Then state the purpose of the candle."

There is also use of an athame if you want to read it, the link is at the top of the page.
