If you're not against buying used items, I suggest searching for items at a Goodwill. My local store is completely full of Christmas items and knick knacks. I was able to find several things there for my Yule altar this year.

@2reapers Our Goodwill isn't usually that great, but we do often check it for ritual supplies.

be careful with elecricity. it can act as a handicap to the ritual rather than assistance, if you're working magick in the rite.

@RedDragon033195 I'm interested in why you think electricity is a hinderance in magic. All I've heard (but not experienced) is that electric devices may be disturbed by the raising of (electromagnetic) energy in a magical working. This is *typically* why some recommend to keep said devices out of a circle. I've never had an issue, and I use my laptop in almost all rituals to read from and for music.

If you can't find a reindeer figurine, you can always draw or print a picture of one and frame it. Thats what I do when I can't find 3d representations of what I'm looking for.

@AnyaPagan I had considered it, but we found a beautiful wooden sleigh at work. So my altar is almost complete!

If you want a more pagan-santa movie to watch, there's this stop-motion movie called The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus. I think it's on Amazon. It's my fav holiday movie, but abcfamily has stopped showing it (apparently they caught crap because it was "too pagan").

Merry Yule to you! Your video is very inspiring. At my work we have adopted a local family in our community to sponser for Christmas.

@fleurdelacour5787 all i know is that all rituals, or spells, that i did with an iphone in my pocket or around an electrical outlet really flopped.

Very sweet altar. Love this idea of Santa Claus and the spirit of the holidays!! I might try to incorporate that into my yule ritual. I love Santa Claus and what he represents, I don't know if it's fond memories, or what it is.

I just had one of the most magical rituals, my first outdoor ritual :D! Which was preceded by roasting hot dogs and smores over an open fire with our kids and grandkids, and the full moon shinning over us. Happy Holiday wishes to you and yours!!

@IsisAwakens I am actually aware of this and simply interested in finding out why electricity might be a hinderance in magic according to Red Dragon's point of view. Thanks, though, for informing those that might not have heard of it before.
