Hello,
I am new to this site as well, although only somewhat new to the left hand path. I won't go into detail as to how since that would be way to much information but since I was little I never thought that Christianity was a valid belief and I have always held a lot of hate for that religion...
I was curious, for the dedication ritual do you HAVE to have a silver bowl? If so must it be colored silver or does it need to be Sterling silver? Since this can only be done once I want to make sure that I do it 100% correctly.
