If you have thought about creating your own ritual tools, whether to get away from store-bought implements or to express your creative power, The Crafting and Use of Ritual Tools contains all the information you'll need. Even if you don't know the difference between a saw and sandpaper, the simple, step-by-step instructions will teach you to make your own staves, wands, runes, and other ritual instruments. They'll hold even more power than purchased ones, because they will have been wrought by your own hands.
From Library Journal
Some modern religious groups adopt ritual practices of the past for use in their ceremonies. These sometimes involve the use of wands, ceremonial knives, rune tiles, and shamanic shields. This book, written by two woodworkers who make and sell these tools professionally, gives selection criteria for materials with instructions for carving and embellishing as well as instructions for use. There are line drawings throughout with the only photographs of finished works being those on the cover. This is a very specialized book suitable for larger New Age or occult collections.
