I have been a Wiccan for five years, and had most of my tools, the other's my fiance had, but due to a recent incident in which my sister's house caught on fire (we all lived together) I have lost all of my tools and other things... I, my best friend Nova, my fiance Tubbs, and my father-like-friend Miles (who past away after the fire) all believe homemade tools generate my power and are generally better, but I have no clue where to start, does anyone know how to or knows a link to make the following items: a sword, athame, white-handled knife, an altar, chalices, candles, a wand, censer, incense, a pentacle, cauldron, broom (besom) , robes, cords, and a bell... I know that that is quite a bit, but it would really help if you could tell me one or more if you know how to make them... or any other tools I might have left out...

as a former Wiccan,u can go to about.com and look there. There are several books that can tell u how to make your own items or buy them and bless them. I crochet,and I made my own alter cloth and I agree with your family that making your own stuff generates,power and are better. I know it sounds wierd,but I felt better when I used my own alter cloth and yes,candles can be home made,but I would buy them,instead ,from a reputable candle shop,like one that specializes in Wiccan candles.I found my wand,or rather,it found me,on a walk after the rain.a Pentacle,find one in a jewelry store.the broom,i would find one hand made,too.My robe,there are places on the net where u can find such things,and there is a catalogue that has them,I will have to find it later,for my daughter has it. It is loaded with Wiccan stuff U need,and it will have everything,if not most,of what u need. Did your Book of Shadows get burned too?? I hope not!! A bell?? Find it at a dollar store,and don't ring it till u have blessed it!!! Good luck and Blessed be!

The Complete Idiot's Guide to Wicca Craft by Miria Liguana, is a great resouce.
It can show you how to make all of your own tools, and you can get a used copy CHEAP from amazon.com

.
The cheapest way is to go to your local Barnes and Noble, or any good bookstore that has a good selection of pagan books and buy Raymond Buckland's Buckland's Complete Book of Witchcraft. He details how to make all your tools.

I'm a Satanist, formerly pagan.
Don't listen to Shayna. She's misled.
