Use a white candle for the goddess and a gold candle for the god. Tarot cards also make good deity images. Choose the Empress and Emperor or the Moon and the Sun. When visiting art or history museums, check if they have postcards of statues or paintings of goddess and god images.

Go to kitchen stores and look at their selection of knives. A white-handled knife can serve as your bolline. For an athame, use a letter opener or a modeling tool for clay available in craft stores. Online athames from Wicca stores aren't too expensive but remember to factor in shipping costs.

Choose a fallen branch from a forest, park or your backyard for a wand. It's important that it be comfortable to hold. Carve or paint symbols on it. You can also use a feather or your finger for pointing at and charging objects.

Use a wine glass for your chalice. It can also be any cup or glass you feel comfortable using in ritual. You can usually find an inexpensive one made of clear glass and paint images on it. Visit a pottery studio where they let you make your own, but make sure they apply glaze so it won't leak.

Buy candles from department stores or your local dollar store. Making candles can be time-consuming and messy. However, if you have a friend who's willing to help, try it and see if you enjoy it. Check out the Candletech site for basic instructions, techniques and a message board where you can ask questions.

Great ideas! Actually thrift shops have become my favorite places to shop for altar decorations, statues, and even cauldrons (just got to get lucky). Blessed Be!
