The Search for Appropriate Ritual STUFF
So life gets difficult in the search for truly nice, appropriate, not gaudy and disgusting ritual supplies. Ever tried finding black candles at pottery barn? I ran out and went looking there for my halloween ritual candles, and all I could find were these little sparkly weird things. Hopefully the Goddess wasn't offended, and is as easily distracted by bright shiny objects as I am :-)
Anyway, I decided I would like some silver plated PLAIN taper candlesticks for the altar. So I started looking around. Found something that "we who don't take ourselves too seriously" would find amusing. Click Here for the Amusement :-)
By the way, if anyone likes the Azure Green catalog, and wishes to order from there, my company, Cyberflight, can get you at least 10% off on things. I usually buy most of my ritual items and supplies there, but they didn't have the candlesticks I was looking for. They DO have black candles, and almost every other color you can think of, and nice cauldrons, and nice everything elses. I would dearly love to find a great place for gold jewelry, but that may be in the future.
Hopefully everyone had a great Samhain. I know my ritual didn't go completely as planned. Ringing telephones interrupted my train of thought TWICE through one short ritual. Grrrr. Besides that, I think everything went well. We shall see.
