Re: Tips for a witch on budget and other questions.
"Q- How to get hold of herbs and spices at a low cost."
For herbs, if you are able to keep plants alive, I highly recommend growing your own. Yes, there will be some herbs that won't grow where you live, and yes some of them don't dry well, but a lot of herbs grow just fine, and can be dried in hanging bundles in brown paper bags in the back of the closet, or on a drying rack. Plus, you have the extra satisfaction of knowing that you grew the plant yourself. Also, to find herbs, I recommend trying shopping at health food stores, they often have herbs for sale, and usually cheaper than most stores that cater to witches.
"Q-How to make your own; wand, besom, pentagram, oils, candles, etc."
Well, for a wand most people go out and find a length of wood that appeals to them. This is easier, of course, if you live near trees. After finding a wood that works, you can paint or carve in symbols or runes to personalize it, or find a way to attach a crystal you like. For a besom, I'd search at a garden center, oftentimes they are sold there as "outdoor brooms." A pentagram you may just have to buy, though you could carve or draw one yourself if you are artistically inclined.
Oils and candles are things that it would be rather difficult to make yourself. Oils you're probably better off just buying, unless you really know what you're doing making them. Candles are somewhat easier to make, if you have the ingredients, but by the time you buy those, you might as well have just bought a candle. I find a lot of really cheap (oftentimes 50 cents!) candles at yard sales or thrift stores. Those work just as well as the candles you'll find at regular stores, and you can always carve symbols in the side with a knife to personalize them.
Q- Where to find cheap gems and crystals.
This is a hard one. With gems and crystals, I recommend just keeping your eyes open and buying them where you see them. Usually most museums that you go to that feature science of some type sell a variety of crystals in the gift shop, so that's one place to try. There is, of course, the traditional Occult Store, if you have one in your area. Also, I know some people who buy online, and I'm sure some members of this site can recommend some good places. Personally, I like to see what I'm buying before I pay for it, but I know I'm in the minority these days.
"Q-Recommended Reading."
"Paganism, An Introduction to Earth-Centered Religions" by Joyce and River Higgenbotham
It's a good overview of Paganism, and a good book to recommend to friends and family members who you want to help understand what you are, what you believe, etc.
"The Crystal Bible, A Definitive Guide to Crystals" by Judy Hall.
I recommend buying this one if you can find the money. This book lists a TON of crystals and their magical uses, along with tips on how to clean and use crystals.
"The New Healing Herbs, the Ultimate Guide to Nature's Best Medicine." by Michael Castleman
While this book does not even mention magic, if you use herbs to help with healing, this is a great book for you. It gives the history of herbs used for healing, recommends how to use them, and what "dose" should be used.
"Healing with Crystals and Chakra Energies" by Sue and Simon Lilly
This is a book I recommend for reading and taking notes of stuff you'll use later, but I don't think it's useful enough to buy it. It's very photo heavy, and doesn't have as much information as I would like it to.
"Q-Any advice that you have that I haven't listed."
Just remember--your tools are not how much you spend on them, they are what they mean to you. Many of my tools are self-made or found at yard sales, antique sales, etc, and they have always worked very well for me. Don't let any of the "you have to spend $200 on your tools!" type of people convince you otherwise.

No problem. I enjoy helping, if you have any more questions I might be able to help with, feel free to ask.
Also, the resources I gave you are most general and basic ones. If there are more areas of magic you are interested in focusing in, I can probably suggest more books. I figured I wouldn't overwhelm you all at once though.

gems are not the only stones with strong powers, taking a walk down a river you can find some very interesting pebbles, which can be also used to make runes (divination tool).
As for the tools, some witches don't even use them, they simply go without..its your choice if you want to have or not but i assure you not having a wand doesn't make you less a witch.

also on a budget - I can relate!
I actually used some glittery spray paint when I first decided to make my wand a few years ago. The actual piece of wood is a sturdy stick I found in my backyard. I also wove a few strands of my horse's hair along with some ribbon and a crystal onto the end that I hold. Traditionally, a wand will incorporate the ideas of fire and air, but some witches may chose to incorporate elements of earth and water as well. Other witches may choose to use other items altogether (as I did) for personalized symbolism.

Re: Tips for a witch on budget and other questions.
Q- How to get herbs and spices at a low cost.
A-. Use what’s at the grocer’s fresh produce or Dollar store herbs have a quick turn around so aren’t stale, or if you’ve the means & patience grow your own.
Q-How to make your own; wand, besom, pentagram, oils, candles, etc.
A-. Wand - find a fallen branch that fits your hand (ash is often a choice), peel the bark with a veggie peeler. Let the wood dry. Sand it. Rub with furniture polish or bees wax. Decorate if you want. Consecrate & magnetize with your energy
.
Besom - use oak or other nut-baring species for the staff, birch twigs for the bristles, willow for the ties (or twine). Soak the birch twigs & willow in warm lightly salted water so they are flexible. Lay the twigs up side down parallel with the staff & tie to staff about 6 inches from the end. Bend the twigs over - above the tie - to form the sweeping bristle and tie to staff again. Trim bristle ends to desired length.
Pentagram - use twigs and twine like making a wreath; or paint a
on a smooth stone, a saucer or wood disk; or print an image & decoupage it to a stone, saucer or disc.
DIY Incense (from Annie's Mirth & Reverence You Tube)
Cut plain paper to a 3-inch square & roll it into a tube like a cigarette. 3-inch Post It Notes work nicely & the sticky strip holds the tube’s shape. Stand the tube upright in a bowl with about an inch of sand or salt to hold it upright. Use the back of a spoon '& a bowl or a mortar & pestle to reduce herbs to coarse powder. Fill the tube with an herb/spice mix of your choice. Light the free end.
DIY Scent-Infused Oil
Use a lite oil - olive for victory or almond for luck - as a base; make small batches as you don’t use much; place herbs into a jar & add oil to cover. Cap it. Swirl to mix daily. Let set 4-6 weeks. Strain; discard spent herbs. Decant. Label it. Adding a vitamin E oil capsule can be used as a preservative. Herbal tea bags can also be used as a source of herbs.
DIY Potions
. Place herbs related to the goal into a pot, add water to cover. Stir & repeat incantation & magnetize . Simmer until water is reduced by half. Cool. Strain. Decant. Label it.
. Use as aerosol spritzer, as hand wash, or for anointing spells. Use commercial teas for drinking. Ex., Bigelow’s Constant Comment tea ingredients repel negativity
Candles
. Reuse old candle stubs & chunks to make small jar candles. Buy metal-tabbed wicks at a hobby store. Set a dry crock pot on medium heat. Fill small jars with broken wax and place into pot with cover on. Heat will melt wax. Add more chunks as needed. Remove when wax is fully melted. Set wicks into jars before they cool.
Q- Where to find cheap gems and crystals.
A-. You can find 1/4# bags of tumbled stones or natural points from Amazon.c and find raw stones at garden stores, some hobby stores, tourist attraction souvenir shops & on paths or beaches
---------------
Q-Recommended Reading.
A- Natural Magic by Doreen Valiente, a classic by the Mother of modern Wicca
Witch Alone by Marion Green, 13-Chapter-a-month step by step
Green Magic by Ann Moura - natural magic and guides
Intuitive Witchcraf by Pagan Portals to be released May 2021
Ritual Magic by Dion Fortune & Garett Knlight - intro to the ceremonial side and explains concepts
Q-Any advice that you have that I haven't listed.
A- . Take time to smell the roses, the lavender & sage; basil & rosemary let senses gage.
Sweet scents for
love, citrusy
cleans; hot spice 🌶 protects & for wellness forest
greens.
. Recycle envelopes for spell packets that can be drawn on, & are biodegradable & burnable
. Paper coffee filters can be used as pouches, can be drawn on & are biodegradable & burnable
. Recycle jars and bottles - wash in salted water
. Damp-wipe store bought 🕯candles with
before use to remove handling vibes
. A crockpot is an electric cauldron
. Buy used books at Amazon or Barnes & Noble & other sites; use free e-book sites like sacred-texts.c & library of Congress.
