Talk to Your Tools

Posted on October 15, 2023 by RachelHWhite — Leave a comment

There are infinite possibilities for what you can use to do magic.

The cultural projections on the objects are usually part of the larger context of who uses them: witches. Or what is conjured by them: spirits, ghosts, or demons. Because of the association with something “dark,” the tools themselves have a feeling of Darkness. Hence why crystal balls, potion bottles and broomsticks appear on the shelves as decorations for Halloween. But then again, a jack-o-lantern is as much a magical tool as a cauldron or a wand, considering its original purpose.

There’s a lot of articles already out there either listing common tools or talking over individual tools and how to use them. Some go into the history, origins, variations. I’m not really gonna rehash any of that. Instead, let me throw some thoughts at your process of discovering magical tools that I think are highly important before you buy, make or use any given tool.

Paypal One-Time Donation – or – Become a patron on Patreon!

Patreon is a service to provide funding for creators of all kinds. Donations for my blogs and creations are (currently) a per-project basis. Be sure to browse and find your favorite creators so you can not only send recurring funds, but keep in touch and get exclusive insights and incentives.

Why, you may ask, am I asking for donations? Please consider that I spend hours wording my posts and creating original artwork to enhance their meaning. If you’ve enjoyed and hopefully felt enlightened (or endarkened?) by what you’ve read, and if you’d like to see more articles, I would truly appreciate your funds and your energy. Also, I would like to produce some books in the future, both of these kinds of articles and fiction stories, and your funding would help this immensely.
