DISPOSING OF TOOLS YOU NO LONGER WISH TO KEEP Sometimes, for whatever reason, you may decide that you have a ritual tool you no longer need. Perhaps youve got too many athames, or someone has gifted you with a new chalice and youre tired of the old one, or maybe something just doesnt speak to you the way it used to. Whatever the reason, it can sometimes be a bit of a dilemma as to how to dispose of your ritual tools. So here are a few ways you can dispose of them........ Pass It On If youve got a particular tool that still has a good feeling to it, or that has some sort of sentimental value, and youve decided its time to get rid of it, why not pass it along to a friend? Youll be happy to know your item has gone to a good home, and your friend will be happy to receive a new magical tool. Before you pass it along, you may want to hold a short parting ritual to separate yourself from the object. Once your friend has the item in her possession, she can re-consecrate the tool to make it her own. Into the Wild Some items seem to like being released into the wild, like animals. If you have a magical tool that came from nature -- a wand made from a branch, a special stone, a bottle of sea water -- then put it back into nature. While you may not be able to return it to the place you originally found it, you can always find a quiet place in the woods to leave it. Another option might be to toss it into a creek or river, as long as it is indeed a natural object. Release by Fire Sometimes, you might have an item you dont want any more, and you dont want to give it to anyone else. You might not want to leave it out in the wild where someone can dig it up, either. In this case, the best thing to do is use fire to get rid of it. Burning a magical item doesnt have to be complicated - build a fire and place the item in it. If you wish, say a few words to separate yourself magically from the object, and then allow it to burn. Burial Another good method of getting rid of old ritual tools is burial. Typically, youll want to select a place that isnt going to be disturbed later on -- if you have property of your own, you can bury the item in your yard. If you dont have your own land, or youre going to be moving soon, you may want to find a remote spot somewhere that you can bury the object. Use good judgment before digging on any public property.
