Magickal Tools - Water
A bowl of water is often placed on the altar for purifying and cleansing, as well as circle casting sometimes. The bowl of water is a symbol of the element of fire... and if you believe that, you must have rode the shorter bus to school... Just kidding. =). The water bowl is a sign of Water.

Use whatever you can for the bowl. I use a custard dish. It works and it's nice. I wouldn't use tap water for the water, though. I'm sure it would work but its not what I would do. It's best to find a way to bottle rain water or to use water from the ocean or a river or something. I use bottled spring water most of the time. It works fine and comes from a natural source. Again, tap water is fine but I never use it. If you do, you may want to add a few rocks of sea salt and boil it.
