Linktober 2025 Day 3: Flames 🔥🔥🔥

And it's really frickin neat, but also I think the author misses some opportunities for creativity for the sake of adhering to a constructed purism that doesn't totally work in today's world. And like. That's what reconstructionism IS.

But when you're finding your seidrstaff, you're more likely to find it if you set your intentions at, say, a walk through Home Depot instead of just a regular walk. The only wood around here is in people's yards and I am not knocking to see if I can have/purchase a piece of their garden. I am adorable:I would get snatched.

And then, the staff itself and it's embellishments have so much potential if you're not trying to be a Ye Olde Norse. For example, the top of the staff has a knoppr (a knob) of some kind. The knoppr acts as a temporary home for spirits as you transit around the various planes. It acts as a shelter.

The staff itself can also be metal. In ye olde times it would have been either wood or iron. But now? In the days of steel and alloys?

You could use a mailbox or birdhouse with a post as a staff. You could make your staff out of a CLOSET ROD, or a pipe. You can use a tiki torch and include fire in your rituals. You can make a staff out of a wooden stair post.
