Talk to Your Tools

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.

The Agency of Monsters

I keep seeing stuff about “agency” coming up, whether about female fictional characters or people being treated like they can’t help themselves. And it makes me wonder…What kind of agency do werewolves have? Unicorns? Vampires?

if your world is falling apart, let it

I am working on a new outlook, which I wish to share with you, on keeping up one’s vibration and manifesting what one wants in life (which I am going to separate into 3 parts, because it seems to be

the Wrong Time

Do you ever have days where it seems the world is telling you, “Everything you do is wrong”? When on the journey of self discovery there comes a point of turning, of change and upheaval of your life, where everything

The Out Group

Not fitting in is a matter of perspective, because you’re not the only one who’s odd. I was not popular in school, but it didn’t bother me much since I wasn’t particularly fond of the kind of people who were

The Dark Forest

Dark, Not Evil

“Fear leads to anger; anger leads to hate; hate leads to suffering” –Yoda Higher Darkness is not hate, fear, suffering, or anything like that. Sometimes you have to go through those to understand it. Sometimes evil things are attracted to

Bad Boys Best

Bad Boys: vampire, biker, roadster

Why do women love the Bad Boy? (and many men want to be him) Motorcycles, tattoos, long hair, cheap sunglasses, etc. Okay, granted that’s just the stereotype. There are a hundred incarnations of the Bad Boy, from the dapper vampire

Good Nightmare

Jack Skellington, Nightmare Before Christmas

Like I said before, it’s hard to pin down a definition of the Higher Dark. A phrase I picked up from the movie “High Noon,” of all places, is “If you don’t know, I can’t explain it.” Some of you

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.

Please note, I wish I did not have to say this as I think it should be obvious, but all images and writing are copyrighted to me, Rachel H. White, and no one has my permission to reuse them for any purpose. All illustrations on this blog are my original work. If you would like a print copy for display with credit to me, I’d be overjoyed to provide, but they are not for re-use.
