Birthday and cheap dollar store candles
Candles are one of my favorite magical tools. I love to use them to magnify my energy and to help keep my intentions going long after I have become distracted by life.
Sticks, stones, and flowers
– Grow your own plants and flowers to use in your magic.
– step outside and forage for new plants that you can use in your magic. Use a plant ID app to make it easy.

Rocks and crystals
Rocks and crystals are great for adding and channeling energy into your magic. While you can spend good money on crystals you don’t need to buy a ton to get started. Instead, go for a walk and look for stones that catch your eye.
