Your tools are keepers of your circle, your helpers and allies, treat them well, hold them sacred and they will return the respect.

There are parts to the circle and each part uses tools that allow you to circle into your ceremony reminding you of the steps you are taking and the energy being exchanged.

Ritual can be very comforting and taking up the tools for each particular section is like shaking hands with an old friend, finding the comfort and warmth in sharing energy, like sitting and staring into a fire.
