Ritual tools: God and Goddess statues or candle holders

What is it? Generally a statue/figurine or candle holder depicting the God, Goddess or deity of your choice.

What is it made from? Can be made from any material available.

What is it used for? The God and Goddess statues can be used to represent the God and Goddess during ritual, also the candle holders are generally used to hold the candles that are representative of the God and Goddess but may also bear their image. However the 2 are interchangeable and in my opinion not a necessary part of ritual as many other things may be substituted to represent the God and Goddess, and candles may be placed on any heatproof dish or surface.

Symbolism and associations: The symbolism and associations with these are many and varied depending on the God, Goddess or deity you chose to invite to your circle. In addition to this the actual symbolism of the actual God Goddess or deity may vary according to the way in which they are depicted, or simply the way in which you see them.

Where to find them: Can be found in all sorts of places, including but not limited to antique stores, swap meets, second hand stores, metaphysical stores, and online, so have a good look around but don't dismay if you cant find the particular God, Goddess or deity you are looking for as some people search for years before finding one that fits the image in their heads of how they should look.
