Ritual Kits and Altar Supplies: A Beginner's Guide to What's Inside

Ritual tools on a dark table: candles, amethyst, sage bundle, mortar and pestle, tarot cards and small bottles

A ritual kit bundles small tools for a personal practice: herbs, a stone, a candle or incense, and sometimes a charm or figure. Start with a compact kit that matches one intention, read what is inside, and use flame and incense safely. These are spiritual and folk practices for reflection, not guaranteed outcomes.

What is in a ritual kit?

Contents vary by kit. Our Abundance Travel Altar Kit is a compact, refillable metal tin holding salt, spearmint herb, a green aventurine stone, green string and money incense. Browse the whole ritual kits, tools and spell supplies collection to see kits, tools, figures and altar pieces.

Pocket spellbottles

A pocket spellbottle is a small sealed glass bottle about two inches tall, filled with a blend of herbs and sometimes stones chosen for one intention, such as the Abundance and Anti Stress bottles. They are carried or kept on an altar. Do not open them to eat or drink the contents, and keep them away from children and pets.

Altar basics

An altar can be as simple as a shelf. Many people include a candle, incense, a dish for ash, and a figure or symbol that matters to them, such as the 7 Chakras Goddess Figurine. See our guides to 7-day candles and palo santo and white sage for the burning side of a practice.

How to choose your first kit

  • Pick one intention you care about, and choose a kit made for it.
  • Read the contents on the product page, including any herbs you may react to.
  • Start small and compact, and add pieces over time.

Using flame and herbs safely

Burn candles and incense on a heat-resistant surface, away from anything flammable, and never leave a flame unattended. Some herbs and resins can irritate skin or lungs, so ventilate the room and stop if you react. For incense basics read how to burn incense sticks.
