Tools

[skyecat12]

Hello! I wanted to know if any of you want to share anything about your tools. I would also like to know where you got them, and stuff like that. Or do any of you have any unusual tools? Need help finding tools!
Thanks and Blessed Be!

Don't know that I have anything to really share about my tools. Also don't know if my telling you where I got them would help you seeing as I'm Way Down South.
If you really do need help finding tools, might I suggest looking in your Yellow Pages under 'New Age Products'. Or searching online.
If these aren't viable options for you, you might want to try searching for the more 'ordinary' tools rather than the rather decorative store bought items.

BTW, I didn't mean to say that ones you make or find would be any less decorative.

I got alot of my stuff at thrift stores & yard sales & the like. Some of it was stuff I just already had. Like, my altar pentacle is made up of a round mirror that was left over after a "vanity" mirror broke, with blue nail polish used to paint the star on. The wooden cup I have salt in was found in a box in the basement, and it had been woodburned with vine decorations by my hubby when he was a scout. :) Candleholders from gift shops or the grocery store, an altar cloth made out of a piece of a large skirt from a thrift store, a travel altar made out of a cigar box with colored tea light candles in it....
The possibilities are endless. Some things were bought at regular price. Some were made or found.

As for unusual... Nope, nothing too unusual here.

Though I do have an idea for a Sabbat ritual candle holder that I haven't done anything with yet. It's kind of unusual. You would need nine sockets for candles in this holder, a menorah might be just the thing, actually. Anyways. You would light the candles according to the amount of light at that time of year. Yule would have one candle lit, Midsummer would have all 9. Samhain and Imbolg would have three, Mabon and Ostara would have five, and Beltaine and Lughnasadh would have seven... I'd like to do that, but haven't been able to find a suitable 9-socket candleholder yet, and wouldn't know how to go about making one for myself...

Many of my tools were given to me, some of them bought at festivals here in my town, and others purchased at various new age and department stores.

I don't really have anything unusual in stock, though. It's all pretty ordinary, really.

Athame, bolline, wands, candles, herbs, censers, cards, scrying mirror ... and other quite normal things.

Um, what exactly do you want to know? I mean, I've pretty much come upon my own tools, books, supplies etc though various different shops, and the internet (there's a wealth of information out there, if you know where to start) ... as for directing you to somewhere, sorry,I'm in Perth Australia, so I doubt I could be of much help to you.

One thing of note I have found helpful, are new and used bookstores, there's one close to where I live, and the new books are discounted, unlike the big name book stores (angus and robertson or Dymmocks) ... really been helpful (not that I've had much money to buy books.
