Pagan Living on a Budget

As Pagans, many of us take time to celebrate the earth and the gifts it gives us. Why not take advantage of that, and use some of the bounty of the natural world in our practice? Need a new wand? Go for a walk in the woods and find a branch fallen from a tree that you like. Looking for some altar decorations? Instead of spending half a paycheck on a statue of some goddess you've never really heard of, hike on the beach and gather some rocks, some driftwood and shells. In the spring, put a pot of freshly blooming flowers on your altar. Get outside, and connect to the elements of earth, air, fire and water. When you need herbs, try wildcrafting instead of buying a baggie full of dried plants online.
