Filling a Casket -by Gregory Branson-Trent's Ghost Hunter's Blog

Start to build up a store or ‘casket’ of general magical ingredients and equipment. Your casket can be a cupboard chest or special box or a collection of several different sized boxes, perhaps kept inside a cupboard. You can often find something interesting in a second hand or antique shop, or perhaps you, or someone you know, can make something specially. If you buy something that has been used, make sure you cleanse it thoroughly first to rid it of any unwanted emanations from its previous owners. Ideally your casket should be made of wood or other natural material rather than anything man-made.

The casket will need to contain the following basic elements:

• Natural sea salt(for cleansing and purifying)
• A length of white cord for casting spells
• A selection of incenses and essential oils
• Candles in various colors
• Special crystals, stones, and gems of your choice
• A selection of dried herbs
• Feathers
• Gold and silver pens (to represent the sun and the moon respectively)
• Silk and cotton fabrics in a choice of colors
• A variety of colored threads
• Good quality natural paper (for writing spells)
• A goblet and platter
• A spell bag (a drawstring pouch for keeping spells in)
