So, not all of us are able to be open with our practice, and others of us just flat out don’t have money to dole out to buy supplies. That being said, here are some low-cost or straight up free supplies! **Note: Some of these involve my personal associations.**
Tiny glass bowls: You can literally find this at the dollar store and use them as offering bowls!
Twigs: You can use these to make wreaths, wands, holders for things, etc., and you can also use them in spells that involve banishment, separation, etc.!
Grass: Represents interconnection
Old mason jars: Storage for your herbs, crystals, etc.
Tea light candles: You can find these pretty much anywhere, and they come in bulk for cheap!
Kitchen herbs: You don’t have to go all out and by the tall containers of these; you can just go to the grocery store and buy a set of the small ones!
Air-dry Clay: Crayola sells this for cheap, and you can use this to make lots of things! Amulet coins, tiny bowls, figures, and more!
Old T-Shirts’s fabric: You can recycle old t-shirts and use them to make poppets or herb sachets!
Ribbon, twine, the likes: These can be used in wand-decoration, knotting spells, as sachet string, and literally anything else.
Tea Leaves: Teas are so varied with so many different properties, there’s pretty much infinite value here.
Seeds: Sunflower and pumpkin seeds are easy to find (because they’re snacks), and these have their own properties themselves!
Leaves: Whether they’re fresh off a tree (be respectful with that!), have fallen to the ground, or have completely dried up, leaves have lots of uses! Dried up leaves, for example, can be used in spells related to ending something, “death,” new beginnings, etc.

The 8th house is all about fears, taboo, the dark side of the human mind and what’s hidden. It’s connected with Scorpio and associated with Pluto, the planet of regeneration and rebirth, it suggests that we’re all able to find the key for heal our traumas and win over our fears.
First, look at the sign on the cousp on the 8th house, here some examples (maybe I’ll explain in another post and in a more detailed way what does the sign on the 8th house cousp mean):
Aries 8th house: fears related to taking action, defining your individuality, competition, doing something exclusively for yourself, expressing your anger, impulsive behaviors.
Taurus 8th house: fears related to your own stability, expressing yourself in a creative way, expressing the sensual side of your personality.

The position of Pluto in a specific house of your birth chart suggests how you can heal your traumas. Pluto can be a tricky planet, it’s connected to karmic lessons and can be challenging keeping on repeat the same lessons again and again until you change the game in a definitive way.

Pluto in the 10th house: find your goals and work hard to achieve them, you can heal your wounds through a carrier that makes you feel happy and aligned with your highest goals, you need a lot of structure and to work on your approach to responsibility.
Pluto in the 11th house: you need to find a community and work with people that shares your same view of life, find a place where you can feel a sense of belonging and community, don’t isolate yourself and open up with others, you can heal your wounds through friendships.
Pluto in the 12th house: you need to explore with your spiritual side, work on your internal dialog, try to sleep well, analyze your dreams and trust your intuition, your spiritual gift will guide you through the healing process.
