Being a practicing pagan does not have to be expensive. There are many places where you can buy pagan supplies, such as White Magick Alchemy. This spiritual site sells everything from witch wares to gemstones, and candles to magical healing crystals. While practicing the pagan religion can be expensive if you let it, if you go to the right spots to shop, then it can be inexpensive. There are some basic things that every pagan needs of course, you will need incense, candles, chalk, salt and all of the basic materials.
Now if you are not just beginning and are practicing high magick, then it will get a little more expensive with silver athame’s and goblets; however, basic magic should cost very little and be almost free except for your basic supplies. You need to remember above all else a good spell is more about intent and focus than the tools that you use.
While the special items you need such as cauldrons, wands, and athames, should be bought from a Wiccan or Pagan site such as White Magick Alchemy, most pagan supplies can be found in the places below.
Your Back Yard
If you are lucky enough to have a yard that you can plant an herb garden in, you can save a ton by growing your own herbs. If you don’t, then basic herbs like rosemary, sage and mint grow like crazy when they are happy, and someone with an herb garden will surely be happy to share.
Department Stores
Believe it or not, department stores are a great place to find pagan supplies. If you are doing candle magick on a budget, they have a huge variety of inexpensive candles to choose from. While you will want to buy your specialty candles from a White Magick site, your tapered candles and votives can easily come from a department store with no problem.
There are many other places that you can find discount pagan supplies for your beginning spells, as you grow in your craft you will want to go to specialty places more, but even then a practicing pagan doesn’t have to spend a ton to do magick.
