This is things like taking a relaxing Ritual Bath with Candles and Incense.

While you're doing this focus on the deities and the ritual you are going to perform.

You can annoint yourself with a Purifying Oil like Frankincense or Sandalwood.

Playing a soothing and relaxing kind of music.

It is also good to meditate.

The idea is to leave all the stesses of life behind and focus on worship.

Preparing your Worship area

Cleanse the area with the Ritual Broom by sweeping away the negativity and psychic clutter out of the area.

You do this by sweeping lightly, barely touching the ground and visualizing the nagativity leaving the area.

Next is the physical the setup of the circle. You will need four candles to mark the quarters and something to mark and outline of a circle. Place the quarter candles in the appropriate positions. Make the physical circle around the four candles.

Make your space big enough for you altar to be in the middle and for you to easily walk around the altar without tripping over the candles. I like to use little polished stones to make my circle but you can use about anything.

The next step is to setup the altar.

Place the altar in the center facing the North or the East preferably. I like to cover my altar with a cloth before I set the tools upon it.

This is basically how to setup an Altar

First: You place the Goddess candle and statue on the top left center. I place the God candle and statue on the top right center. I place the cauldron top center directly below the deity candles and statues. I place the censer center directly below the cauldron. I place the Red Candle directly below the censer. This makes up the very top and center of the altar.

Second: On the very left-hand side of the altar, I place my wand. Beside this, at the top left I place the chalice. Below this I place the water bowl and the asperger. Below these I place the libation dish and the plate of food (crescent cakes, cookies, nuts, fruit, etc.). Below these I place the bell and my matches and used matches cup. Usually somewhere between the left and center items I place the candle used in rituals and spells.

Third: On the top right-hand side, I place my musical instuments (if these are too big for the altar, just place them somewhere in the circle near the altar). Below these, I place my pen of arts and my Book of Shadows.

Forth: Between the center and the right, at the top I place a stick incense holder. Below this, I place the salt bowl. Below this, I place the pentacle. Below this, I place the athame and the bolline.

Fifth: Finally, any herbs, oils, or other ritual or spellcraft items needed, I place these any where on the altar where I have a space to put it.
