The poor pagan (or “how to make the most of the free things.”)

Remember, not all pagans are wealthy coven owners and most of us have very little money to pump into crystal wands and silk robes. Paganism is earth based and so many of our tools can be picked up for free. I found my wand, naturally fallen from a tree on a walk. Most of your corner symbols will be found naturally and even your light source can be natural, remember you don't have to work at night. I find working in the day can be very fulfilling if you can find a quiet enough space.

Sadly not everything is free but they can be cheaper than average. Medieval fairs can be a great source of supplies as many pagan sellers take the opportunity to sell in front of mainstream markets, ad because many items are one offs they can be at highly discounted prices.

Making your own bread and cakes can also be very satisfying and much healthier than store bought things as at home we do not use additives.

You can make many of the tools you can use such as a scrying mirror. This can be made with a photo frame and black paint to create a black mirror. Remember, just because something's black, doesn't mean it's evil.

Small crystals can be found very cheaply all over the place, even in jewellery as they've become very popular.

And remember, your kitchen cupboards are a wonderful source of ingredients (well duh huh?).
