How extensive is your magickal tool arsenal?

[Vandheer]

First of all, apologies if there is a thread similar to this, but I don't remember reading one such. Maybe its slipping my mind, I don't know.

I am just looking at my tools right now, some couple year old candles, and one decent knife that I have infused some power with. Nothing else. Damn thats actually not fun at all, aesthetically unpleasing and overall lack of a versatility. Of course I need no tools but some color to my practice could help.

Anything less depressing from your side? Hopefully nothing as fancy as mirrors of @Yazata so I don't seethe in jealousy.

I have nothing. Not even a knife. Just my hands, mind and voice.

By choice?

 

[DiLoco_DelEted]

Nope. Except for my chessboard (my altar), gave everything away to a friend.

A chessboard as an altar? Kinda interesting actually.

I forgot to include altar now you speak of it, its something like this, but one drawer only. I like it, it serves well.

And that's all you really need.

I have a wand, a kitchen knife I never use.

Have you got a wand?

It was pretty fun selecting my wand from an ancient forest near me.

 

[DiLoco_DelEted]

Natural storm aftermaths are the harvest for suitable wands, especially from trees hit by lightning.
Before I gave everything away, I had candles galore, a wand, a knife, a water cup, and a plate.
I had most incense you could think of, and was trying my hand at making oils.

Nothing satisfactory. I should do this sometime.

 

[Shaman]

I have got an evil eye nazar, blue labradorite, amethyst and obsidian. Also Vepar's sigil as a necklace. I also got a mini altar table with incense myrrh , frankincense and sage.

Yeah, I should have waited until a storm came and went but I was desperate for a wand at the time. I ended up ripping it off the tree and felt bad for months so I needed to go back to the tree and offer it my own urine as an apology... it helps plants, trees grow.

I have a dremel that used to shape it a little then finished it with vanish.

 

[Romolo]

I have a vast collection of magical artifacts, almost all of them self-made, from a necromantic dagger crafted of bird bones to a playful wand that imitates the sound of locusts.

My last creation is a triangular ceramic shard (found in the woods at night) which I charged with the light of the full moon, Venus and Sirius (each of the three corners touched/punctured each celestial object for exactly 77 seconds).

Magical artifacts play a crucial role in my work. When I do rituals or spells on location and I’m empty-handed I would still pick up a pebble, a feather, an egg shell or a screw to strengthen my vision.

I usually leave three branches in a perfect triangle on the location where I performed a ritual.

Nada. Zilch. Nothing.
The closest thing to a magical tool I have is a black-onyx tasbih which I use during meditation, but that's hardly any more magical than the alarm I use to time sessions.

My old anti-ritualist sentiments still rule the foundation of my approach despite my attitude about it relaxing in recent times.

Several tarot decks, TdM and Huson's variation of TdM. A crystal ball. A pair of pillars for an altar, one black, one white, small enough to easily store. Incense, and a small ceramic cauldron-style bowl with sand inside to use as an incense burner, various candles and a rather nice glass (maybe crystal) candle holder. A small clock for watching the ticking hand, used every day in meditation. A journal and a few notebooks. Probably a few other items, if and as needed. Not everything gets used often, however.

 

[stratamaster78]

I have a Trithemius Table of Practice that I use to place a Scrying Crystal on and I also use it as a Pentacle to Charge Items on.

I also have a Purple Robe/Cloak and an Outer Wand of Double Power that I hand made a few years ago.

Oh and I have a Smokeless Incense burner and a bunch of herbs and resins.

I guess I also have a bunch of Tarot Decks of all the classical styles… RW, Tdm, Thoth, BOTA, 1JJswiss, etc etc.

On a Daily basis though I mostly just use a Sword Mudra and my Voice.

Table of Practice

WF synchronicity at its best once again. My laptop is busy with something at the moment but later today I am going to post a thread on Table(s) of Practice.

 

[Xenophon]

I have a black mirror I almost never use. I'm painting my own tarot deck as an exercise in understanding the tool. I know already I won't use it regularly (though it might well be called on for a rite I am contemplating.) I have a ring. Likewise I have a quartz stone. Various sigyls drawn as need arose. A Tree of Wyrd I drew. A couple of daggers. One for ritual; one for daily carry in the town where I life; a third stashed in a town I travel to on business (trains these days won't let you carry so much as a metal grapefruit spoon.)

I like to call myself a minimalist, but I seem to be morphing into a magpie and collecting quite a catalogue of trinkets.

 

[Amur]

I have nothing also. Just a shaman's drum named firewalker and then some candles bought from the shop. Works for me atleast. But I would like to try out some tools if I ever got near some, would probably be a fantastic experience, but I'm not into magickal hifi

**edit note: I had a spider black dagger of the LHP side to remind me of my spider totem. But it got lost in the way to here.

This is a strangely beautiful and poetic series of paragraphs, I have a Smokey Quartz sphere and I am now compelled to utilise the single shed Sambar deer antler tine I stumbled across whilst on a daily walk with my dogs near some of my apple trees at home.

[Robert Ramsay]

I have three Tarot decks which I almost never use, a polished piece of rose quartz I carry around with me, and a self-made wand somewhere in a drawer.

I have a crystal ball about the size of a large marble, but skrying never really worked for me. My great-uncle was a gemcutter, so I find various polished semi-precious stones to be interesting.
