The Grimoire

This is a page for reference. I have included here a lists of various magical tools and how best to use them in your magical workings, but also in daily life, to add power to your daily activities. For example, if you were feeling set upon at work by other employees, perhaps you would choose to carry a smoky quartz crystal with you to protect yourself. This will also help the more ambitious choose which tools to use when creating your own magic. This page, as with all my pages will grow and grow, and I am also interested in visitors contributions, so please feel free to make suggestions. Happy Casting!
