Agreed with the above (i think)
Actually, it'd be my suggestion that you specifically start this ritual work without any tools (assuming you don't have ritual tools from some other practice-paradigm).
It'd actually be distracting and more then ineffective to use some tools (for this ritual) to start with.
Get a clear idea of how to "make" energy flow, how to hold/visualize that energy in a distinct pattern (pentagram), how to conduct your work in a specifically created energy field . . . it would certainly be most useful to first learn that with only your "person" . . . then extent to tools.
(anyhow, how would you actually have a tools worthwhile (ie, consecrated in any format) if you've only just started with the basic rites. (IMG:
