Wiccan rituals typically take place in a practitioner’s home, often at night, and in a circle with an altar. Common ritual tools include incense, a chalice, a pentacle, a wand, and a knife known as an athame. Rituals are typically described as magical and are designed to focus the willpower of the assembled Wiccans to bring about a desired change in the physical universe, commonly for healing or to assist those in need.
