THE HARROW<br />

The harrow, or altar, should be the center of your place of working. This place may be either<br />

outdoors or indoors; if outdoors, in the center of a grove is preferred, but hardly necessary. If you can do<br />

your workings under the open sky, it is important to be assured of your privacy and freedom from<br />

distraction. Trucks and airplanes roaring by hardly enhance concentration, while some people (and police)<br />

become very upset when faced with any form of magical or pagan working.<br />

The most traditional form of harrow is one made of heaped stones under the open sky. If you<br />

should find a large natural boulder set in an appropriate place that feels right for your working, so much<br />

the better. In this case the circle, rather than being drawn or embroidered, should be cut into the earth<br />

around the harrow with your ritual knife.<br />

If a stone harrow should be impractical, the next best choice is one made of oak or ash. A small<br />

flat-topped cabinet in which the ritual tools can be stored when not in use is excellent for this purpose.<br />

This harrow can be rubbed with a charged oil in the same manner as the other wooden tools. If you so<br />

wish, the futhark ring can be carved upon it along with such other inscriptions as seem fitting, depending<br />

on whether it is used more for worship or for magic, or equally for both.<br />
