TOOLS
Tools of magick can be both from nature and man-made. As all things of nature have life in them, so too is there magick potentially waiting to be channelled into the goals you wish to achieve. Man-made tools are objects which you will need for your rituals and craft works. Remember that the power is in you and not the tools you use, so you may use some tools, no tools or all if you wish. Getting in touch with nature and allowing ourselves to open up to her energies is a step to using natural tools. Pick up a rock or flower and hold it in your hands, study it with your senses and feel the energy/spirit residing in that object. Understand that we are not apart from the Earth and nature but we are all one with each other.
