One of the most important parts of spellcraft is the intensity of the mystical energies created during the ritual. During a ritual, the caster of the spell charges the nearby energies with his/her intentions and once the energies are built up, they are then released into the world to do their work. A good analogy is a beer mug. A beer mug starts out empty but after you fill it with beer, it gets you drunk. The more empty mugs you have, the more beer you can drink. The more beer you drink, the more drunk you get. Well that's basically what you do with energy. The more raw energy is in your circle, the more energy you can "fill" with intentions, the more "intention-filled" energy you have, the more powerful the spell. Thus, it is very important for your altar space to have high vibrations and energies. Now there are a lot of high tech new age gadgets to enhance the energies around a space however, they tend to be very expensive. The manufacturers probably figure that there's no competition and that their target audience will buy anything that they offer. Well FUCK THEM! I'm gonna show you how to enhance your altar energies for less than $20.

Buddhic Column: This one is pretty complex but it has many permanent benefits not only to the alter space but to the locality as well. According to Soul1.org, "A Buddhic column is a permanent column of Buddhic fire, linked into the planetary network, which may be built virtually anywhere-- such as markets, air ports, theatres, locations of ill repute, prisons, hospitals, nursing homes, your home, and other public or private places. It functions to continuously clear the area of negative energies. It is based on the spiral spinning motion of all matter, including the atom, which is itself composed of tiny vortices. It can be made as large as is necessary." Thus, once a buddhic column is forged, that area becomes a cleansing place full of mystical energy. It is also a place that is connected to the spirit realm due to the fact that it is maintained by devas and nature spirits and the best part is that it costs nothing!

Crystal Ball: One of the most iconic Wiccan tools, the crystal ball is used for numerous purposes including scrying, energy filtering, chakra balancing and energy work. They produce a large amount of energy which seems to resonate around its surroundings, thus, if you keep a crystal ball on your alter, you will have even more energy to work with! Now when shopping for one, there are two tips that one must consider. Firstly, for it to work properly, IT MUST BE QUARTZ. There are many glass and resin crystal balls that tend to be cheaper thats exactly what they are, cheap. They do not produce the energy that a quartz crystal ball produces. The second is that SIZE DOES NOT MATTER. Ussually, our alter space is just a little table in the corner of a room. Unless you have a wiccan chapel in your bedroom, you will not need a huge crystal ball and this is why. When comparing crystal balls, bigger crystal balls do not nessicarely create more energy than smaller ones. Infact, the bigger crystal balls produce the same amount of energy as small ones. The difference is that bigger crystal balls spread energy around a larger area than small ones. Scene you only have so much alter space, you do not need a big one which means that it would be unnecessary to buy a big one. I ought a small, 50 cm crystal ball from a new age shop in Wilson NC called Truly Unique and it cost me only $16. I am in love with it and it is one of the best investments I ever made (keep in mind, i dont make any money so I don't make many investments). |
