The Blogger Witch Tools of the Craft
Everyone knows the traditional tools of the Craft, but a little known fact is that there is a whole range of different ways to see these tools. In this post, I am going to list the traditional tools and then describe my personal thoughts on how a witchy blogger might modify them. I am also going to do individual posts on each of the tools listed here for a more in depth look at how they can be used.
List of Witchcraft Tools:
- Altar: For a witchy blogger, this could be the device you work on or the blog itself.
- Athame: Consider using your copy and paste of links to your blog to spread awareness. This directs energy towards your blog and can also be used direct other elements in a blogomantic ritual towards a greater purpose. (Yes Iām reaching since I donāt use an athame in any regard).
- Book of Spells: Every witch has some way of recording spells and rituals. For a witchy blogger, this could be a separate and private blog for your eyes alone.
- Candles: Images of candles are pretty simple, but the animated ones can also be used. Alternatively, if you want to create a writerās ambiance, using LED candles like tea lights are a great idea.
- Cauldron: Audio, images and video are the water and flavor of the internet in my opinion. Mixing these into collages or even just creating and sharing playlists on your blog would count as using a cauldron.
- Crystals: Images of crystals can be put into a post on a blog and create a form of crystal grid.
- Divination Tools: ok here is where it gets fun. I have personally used a poetry community here on Tumblr to perform a version of bibliomancy and poetic prophecy. That being said, there are other ways to do it. Letās say you find a tarot readerās blog that you like and they do a daily pull. Instead of reading what they write for what it means, apply what it means to you as a form of blog post and meditation.
- Wand: Your keyboard, your mouse and your hands are what help direct the magic, so in essence they are your wand.
I know I didnāt go into each traditional tool that has ever been. I only went into ones that I personally have either used or have considered using. Iāll likely expand this in a later post, but for now, this is it. Tell me what you think.
