Any of those who Practice the Art of Darkness should have with them, as well as in a permanent location with Forces the necessary items. I will list the most basic ones:
Altar. What is it? The Altar is precisely the PLACE of location with the Forces of Darkness, Chaos, and Death. More specifically: What does this item represent, or rather a structure- It can serve as a large stone with a more or less smooth surface, or a structure made of them (stones) forming a similar surface, or a table of pure wood with a "black cloth" on top (the latter option - if we are talking about the location with the Forces in a closed room). What is it used for? This is a place of concentration of Forces and energies during Ritual processes, that is, "the strongest and most powerful place in the Circle of Wizards". Also, in its "vicinity" (the Altar), or directly on it, Priestly works, sacrifices, various offerings to the Forces of Darkness take place. Also, it can be used as conveniences for the Witchcraft works of various purposes (if the Sacrificial works do not take place on it itself, but nearby. This is usually how the Practice works if conducted in a closed room).
Witch's Circle. What is it - This is the VERY FIELD OF RITUAL IMPACT of various purposes. That is, as described in the previous paragraph, this is also a place of location with the Forces, with the Altar in the center, but in the form of a "field", having at the moment of the Ritual Work the power, immense possibilities for influences, with the concentration of Forces and energies, having boundaries in the form of a drawn circle. What is it used for - mainly for that very concentration and creation of those very possibilities, during the time of the Ritual Work. It also serves as protection from the penetration into the "Practice Field" of various "mental parasites" (spirits, larvae, etc.), capable of creating obstacles to Ritual Processes. This phenomenon is temporary - that is, this field is created for the time of carrying out Ritual actions. Upon their completion, the Practitioner "opens the Circle" with his actions of the Subtle Level.
Candles, torches, bonfire, and other sources of open and semi-open fire, "natural ignition". What are they needed for? Primarily - for highlighting and creating visibility in the Darkness. Also, these listed items, especially candles with torches, are perfectly suitable auxiliary means in setting up various "Magical programs", accompanied by burning and reading of spells on them. After their burning, these programs are established and put into action with more maximum precision and efficiency, than for example "without their use at all". Also, for achieving such goals, another set of auxiliary means are perfectly suitable: Incenses, aromatic oils, and so on. Although, the Power and speed of Magical influence depend PRIMARILY on the POWER AND SKILL of the Practitioner. And the listed items are just helpers. It is also necessary to remember and take into account.
Knives:
Ritual Yatagan. This knife, which must be of SUPERIOR quality, that is, strong, always sharp and sharpened, in terms of abilities not inferior to the knife of a "butcher". What is it needed for Practitioners: Exclusively for sacrificial works, and only the Practitioner should take it in hand. Giving it to anyone else to "use - play" is strictly prohibited. This item also accumulates in itself the energy of Death and, therefore, can also be used for various applications of this same energy of Death. It must be stored in a secluded, and preferably light-protected place.
Athame. This "knife," or rather its dummy, an almost imitation, is no longer used for cutting anything in any case. It is used exclusively as a "wand," or a tool for directing Forces and energies. For example - "activation of Magical Signs" (their tracing with the corresponding spells), touching something with it - Athame for various purposes, spell it with heating on candles for various purposes, etc. That is, direct analog of a "Magical Wand," the description of which is fully disclosed in this item - Athame. Definitely - it is categorically forbidden to give it to anyone other than the Practitioners. It concerns only the Practitioners.
Texts, prayers, spells, appeals to Forces, laid out on paper. It is also necessary to have them with you. Something short in content can be spoken by heart, but of course it is impossible to remember everything. Reading texts from a sheet during the Ritual Process is quite acceptable and by no means prohibited. The main thing is to fully understand what the Practitioner reads and pronounces. Never "automatically"! We read - fully realize what is being read - mentally visualize it - and also mentally reproduce the set goal in these texts. It must be kept away from prying eyes.
Idols, figurines, various figures embodying the Forces to which the Practitioner serves. They are perfectly acceptable, approved, and allowed to be used in the arrangement of Ritual places. Also different tablets with magical symbols and signs. By and large, all this is suitable for closed Ritual places. For open ones - stones with symbols, signs, images, etc. All this serves for what? - Primarily for the maximum concentration of the Practitioner during Rituals. Also, this all serves as a kind of "modem" for the summoning and conduct of Forces energies, and their subsequent location with them, to whom the Practitioner turns. But primarily - only His consciousness and maximum tuning. And these items are merely ASSISTANTS.
Wax, clay, photographs, various attachments to subjects of influence, threads, needles, nails, etc. Everything also has its place, especially for influencing various subjects, considered necessary by the Practitioners. All this helps to lead actions of various types: Curses, hexes, love spells, banishing spells, as well as the removal of all this, protection, luck, strengthening, and much more. You can also manage without all this. Depending on the level of development of the Practitioner. In those old times when there was no photography, Witches did perfectly well without photos. The main thing in such Practices is Power, Skill, self-tuning, and self-concentration. With all this - the Practitioner is able to work with subjects of influence purely based on their images in his mind. Absolutely without resorting to the aforementioned items in this paragraph. HOWEVER: for this, it is necessary to work hard on oneself persistently and for a long time. And the necessary items for "sculpturing" (creating a figure of the subject of influence) will DEFINITELY not be excessive.
