Is it possible to become a powerful witch without loads of money to fund the buying of witchcraft equipment which is needed in many spells?

Original practitioners didn’t use money to get their supplies at all. Most of the stuff we have on our alters was handed down, gifted, or we found lying around. In fact, it’s bad form to charge for talismans and other supplies. As you go along, you’ll find that most of the herbs used in magic can be harvested in your area, but people became lazy, and now just go to the store and buy what they need. Too bad, too, because the spells are more powerful if you harvest what you need yourself with a white bone handled knife. If you live on the west coast, I can direct you to a great herb shop. These people take care when buying, packaging, and sending magickal herbs, and I can vouch for their integrity. http://www.tenzingmomo.com/ I have also found that when and if you need something for practicing or your alter, it tends to come your way, you need only keep your eyes open.
