A chalice is a
cup or
goblet. As you may imagine, the cup is aligned with the
Goddess or
female aspect and the element of
Water (the
west). Sometimes the cup is just used to hold
water, and sometimes it holds
blessed wine or whatever the person wants to drink symbolically. You can put things, usually liquids but not always, into a chalice and
cleanse them. You can also give ceremonial offerings to the
Goddess or whatever you want in a cup, by either leaving it out or dumping it into the
earth. A chalice can be just a pretty glass cup that you pick up at
Wal-Mart, or a jewel-encrusted
silver cup handed down through generations for the purpose; it doesn't matter as long as it is
significant to you, and not used for drinking as a usual glass is.
