Items used in spell casti

I want to know whether I can use the items which I use in daily life in spell casting, for eg, can I use the same bowl from which I eat in spell casting and other items too? Thanks.

no. I have learned that you can not use your magic items to other things exept for magic.

It depends on the caster and what you are doing with the item. If you need a bowl of water as a representation of water you can use a bowl that you normally eat out of. If you are mixing and herbal tea to drink you can use the same bowl as well. You just don't want to use an item to consume something with after you put sulfur or another toxic item you would not want to ingest. Common sense is a must for magical workings. Many of my magical items are also daily items as well. The knife I use to cut eatable herbs is the same knife I use to cut up vegetables. Though to me all cooking is a magical casting. I personally believe that magical items gain their energy through the use of the item even if some of the time it is the mundane use.

There are different schools of thought. In some cultures a the athame was the blade that you used every day for everything, and it was "attuned" with you through the constant use.

In others, the ritual tool was supposed to be pure and otherwise not used for any other purpose...

Rather mirroring the opposing views above.

Do what feels comfortable to you. If it boils down to it, you can cleanse and reconsecrate your ritual tool.

Have to go with kts on this one. Magick is how we live, so everything we use in life is a magikal tool :)

During the times when a witch could be condemned to death, she would use only the things that would be normally found in a household. To use "special" tools would be courting trouble.If she needed a bowl for mixing what might be toxic herbs, she would hide it. I have read that she would often bury it; and dig it up for use. Everything,in those far off days, was very secretive!
