Things you'll need:
Sage bundles
Incense
Lighters
Rain Water
Salt
Candles (black)
Alright, let's go over the reasons for each item:
Sage bundles- This is, single-handedly, the most important tool in your arsenal. You'll cleanse your area, your tools, your person, using this. You'll do a few 'get the fuck out' cleansing spells using this. It can be substituted for another kind of cleansing burnable, but honestly, white sage works the best.
Incense- It makes a good substitute for when you run out of sage (as is inevitable unless you buy some every time you go out). I like to use dragons blood incense, as it has a lot of the same properties as white sage.
Lighters- I never understood why my mother was always buying lighters when I was growing up. I thought they lasted, like, forever. No. I go through at least 4 a month now.
Rain Water- A great tool for cleansing, setting up wards, protective circles, ect.
Salt- Also a great tool for cleansing, setting up wards, protective circles, ect. But it also has the added benefit of working to protect against most kinds of creepy crawlies, where other items will fail.
Candles (black)- Okay, the reason behind this is a little morbid. I've begun to keep a supply of black candles, as my mother did and does, for when a friend or family passes away. I light the candle to assist them in passing through the veil and not getting lost, and the black color of the wax has the added benefit of absorbing negativity, so it protects them on their journey as well.
