About Wands & other Tools.

Dear Journal,

Occassionally adventurers become magic item merchants, as it was recently with powerful priest of Corellon Larethien, with Raryldor Siamytherelin.

He did sell me a wand of fire today, it's my second wand.

Wands are Ritual TAROT Tools, associated with element of fire, with masculine feelings - but certain traditions consider these to be of air, associated with masculine thoughts.

There are other Ritual TAROT Tools, as well.

Now i have a wand of curing, and a wand of fire.

Wands, like other tools can be used to benefit oneself and others, or to cause harm - it's intention what matters the most, user's intention that determine whether it's black magic or if it's something better.

The wand cost me 1200 gold pieces, now i have 17800 gp in bank, and a little in my purse as well - i've sold some of the powerful arcane scrolls, so i don't lack coin at this moment.

Wands.

TAROT Tools.

TAROT Cards.


Dear Journal,

A while ago i did paint my own divination deck. Now i did exchange it for more classical, TAROT deck of cards.

This TAROT deck of cards uses symbols of Swords, Wands, Pentacles & Chalices in Minor Arcana Cards, there are also Major Arcana as well.

These symbols are occasionally named differently, for wands can be named scepters, pentacles can be named discs or coins, ... etc.

i happen to have all of these symbols contained in the ritual tools in a certain form or another.


Swords - Athamé : it's a symbol of masculine (it's long) correspondence, of thoughts & of the air element. Useful for directing magickal & psychic energies, for casting circles (drawing protecting or invoking pentagrams on ground), for a rite of union & for other purposes as well. It's a version of sword, just shorter, more practical in the small-spaced ritual quarters. When neccessary, i can arrange for a real sword as well.

Wands - Wand of Curing : it's a symbol of masculine (it's long) correspondence, of feelings & of the fire element. Especially useful for curing body & mind, but can be used for other purposes as well.

Pentacles - Well made Silver Pentacle : it's a symbol of feminine (it's round) correspondence, of thoughts & of the earth element. Useful for protecting - especially mind - against magickal attacks, for other uses as well. It's said it can impart silver moon's wisdom on a wearer, it's connection with godess can aid in manifesting (realizing) spells as well.

Chalices - Well made Silver Chalice : it's a symbol of feminine (it's upper part & base are round), of feelings & of the water element. Useful for a rite of union, as well as for scrying - when filled with a water - that acts as a mirror. It has other uses as well.

TAROT Deck of Cards - It's a symbol of Spirit & Space (it brings elements together, joining them), can be used for divination - fortunetelling method, differing from scrying that it relies on asking higher (or lower) powers. Indivdual cards or series of these are powerful ritual casting tools as well.


All of these tools can be used in composing a witch's altar, or used individually, together, or with other ritual components such as candles, herbs, crystals or incense.

She will learn from Proper Teachers, and fight for the Truth to share.

She will paint her own cards as well, perhaps discarding some. She still needs to learn before her 'truths' can be True.

P.S. She reported her progress to Peltarch HQ, with proper warning.

P.S.S. She prefers to not divine for herself, but perhaps she will.
