How extensive is your magickal tool arsenal?

I’ve been doing this for more than minute, I’m a magpie like most practitioners end up being, have tried bunch different techniques/paths, and finally have reached a more sedentary part of my life. So all of that to say I have a ritual room mostly full of this stuff. Till recently I traveled a whole lot so I still have bags/cases/boxes ready to go with me. A bag for chaos/ritual/dead/exorcism/etc…., I have tools, mirrors, crystals, statues, old nails, railroad spikes, candles, journals, stuff I’ve collected from liminal places/banks/churches/hotels/graveyards/etc… - most my stuff is made or found.

But a handful things that you really work with and on is all that really matters.

These days most of my work is with a set of psalter beads, a blasting rod, a working book, a journal, two playing card decks, and two rings.

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.

Thank you for your kind words.

What you can do (and this is how many of my compound magical artifacts come into being) is this: I keep all the ingredients/components in a big bowl called “the Cauldron”. I keep this vase under my altar. On specific days, I spread out the pieces around me and see what combinations emerge. When the pieces go together (or “coagulate” in the alchemist tradition) you will feel this. Usually also the memories related to the pieces will merge together. This can bring about interesting gnosis. You can then also revisit the places where you found them, perform a ritual there, or make an offering to a related Deity.

This sounds appealing to me, intuitive and yet succinct, and clearly visual while still evocative. Thank you.

I have a trunk where I keep my tools and ingredients. Lots of candles, dried herbs, salt, and some kinds of water kept for rituals and spells. I also have an altar to Hekate on top of one of my bookshelves and I keep some tools on it. I've dabbled in a lot of stuff including Wicca so I think my altar has had a Wiccan feel for a little bit and I have tools that a lot of my Wiccan sources recommended I collect for rituals. My favorite tools by far are a bell and a wand. I found the wand on the ground under my favorite tree and I like using the bell to help create ritual spaces. I've been collecting my most used incense for a little while too. I have a lot of frankincense and sandalwood.

Nice . You really have a lot of tools!
