Substitutions for Teens: Respecting the parents wishes while keeping the spells potency

These are a few things to do when you aren't allowed to have certain things in your room. I understand sometimes parents can be a little tough when it comes to some things, but you have to respect them and their wishes as well as you can. The Goddess and God understand, I guarantee it. Here is a few I can currently think of. If you want me too add more, leave a comment, tell me on twitter, or just do whatever.

Incense: Naturally colored feathers, potpuri scented to the needed incense, oil lamps are great.
Candles: Buy different colored light bulbs for a good lamp. They sell them in pretty much every color. Also if you cant have flames (Got this idea from my friend Sheldon who also has an amazing blog and recently started a vlog) you can use fire herbs such as cinnamon, cayenne, and cloves.
Athame: Your finger. The Goddess and God understand you can't keep a dagger in your room, ceremonial or not.
Censer: A large bowl with sand in it
AND:(Also courtesy of Sheldon) In many circumstances, you can call forth the elements from within. The God and Goddess have made you from all of the elements, why not use them if you cannot use a separate representation?
Earth: Your body, Feel the strength of your vessel
Air: Your breath, blow on the altar to summon air.
Water: Although gross, saliva is water.
Fire: This is the hardest one for many people, but you can call forth fire within, feel the passion of love, lust, etc.
