Magic Wand, Pentacle, and Weapons of Mass Magick
-
Did you guys like that title. haha,
anyways, I'm no crafts man at the construction of the magick wand, i've been reading the golden dawn ways, creating magical tools, and it refers me to a place where you can have those tools done, like a hardware store..
Does any body know of a good place that can cut and construct a wand such as the dowel and phallus.
Better yet... How easy is it to construct a wand? and
what of the pentacle? someone let me know who carved out that for ya, and how much does it cost if it's satisfactory
I can get my Chalice and dagger and Magickal sword at a Wiccan Shoppe
thanks

Well, look, if you want to follow Crowley's branch of ceremonial magick along with the initiatory path, I'd recommend crafting your implements at the appropriate time.
When I first started in magic, completely focused on "practical results", read Konstantinos' "Summoning spirits" and started crafting crappy versions of the H.O.G.D. implements. It has not done me any good, as it cannot be compaired to crafting each implement in the "elemental (body-)mind set" of the sephirothic grades. If you work your elemental way up, you'll have much less to worry about on crafting the implement.
Buying an implement is not supposed to be a good way to acquire a "powerful" implement, unless doing otherwise is impossible. Crafting them yourself is a huge part of what makes them "magical".

It is my opinion that it is better to use no weapons at all than it is to used borrowed or bought ones.
In a pinch, just about anything can be used as a wand, for example, as long as the purpose you have given it is its only purpose and you do not profane it (eg. a cane ceases to be a cane and should ONLY be used as a wand from thence forth).
