The Master With No Tools.
There came a time in my ascent where I loved my temple space, I felt more at home in my temple than anywhere else.
I had crafted handmade wooden triangles of manifestations, in various colours adorned with various symbols.
I had a huge inverted pentagram circle of darkness in black and red.
A obsidian black mirror, various magickal idols and spirit vessels.
I had various coloured consecrated candles, different blends of enchanted incense.
Charcoal disks, heat proof bowls for pyromancy and a gorgeous athame.
I had my stone temple walls covered in symbols, demonic runes and scripts, I had consecrated powders, a bag filled with herbs and gems and crystals.
I had a huge altar, rams skull, magickal beads, talismans etc.
This temple was something else, I couldn’t believe it how far it evolved over time.
All that then began to change.
What Happened ?.
In my ascent I reached a point where the spirits I worked with which ranged from Demons, Elementals, Planetary beings, Lwas, Gods and Goddesses etc.
They all advised the same thing, that I became attached to the tools I was using.
That it was time to walk a hard path which my guides set me on.
I was challenged to perform the same magick, with the same power and potency, without the tools.
Becoming The Tool.
It got to the point where the spirits made me go outdoors to do rituals.
I was told to make a circle with stones I found in nature.
I was then told to do away with the physical circle too.
Simply invoking omnipotence, solidifying that power within the temple of flesh.
Directing that power through my middle and index finger, directing that energy upon the ground drawing a circle.
Once done performing circumambulation, then afterwards hands upon the ground and using a potent incantation to open the circle to the powers of eternity.
I was even told to try physical evocation without the incense as a manifestation base, I used the wet soil and life in the nature as a base of manifestation.
The best natural manifestation base I found was having the spirit manifest in the absolute darkness.
I was taught how to structure gateways using structuring and energy manipulation.
Visualisation and energy manipulation to create aethyric sigils instead of physical ones.
Mediation, energy manipulation, trance work, incantation, mantras, postures etc.
All these techniques I used and tried to do away with the tools all together.
From time to time I jumped back to the tools, eventually I was doing channeling’s, invocation, evocation, possession, soul travel etc without the tools.
I was taught to use the power within and the power within my environment.
Pushing me one step further into the path of mastery.
Why am I telling you all this ?.
The reason why I’m telling you all this is because we are the masters, the magick is within us.
No excuses you don’t need tools, even the vessel for a spirit can be a brick or a stone from the outdoors.
The circle you create with your energy yourself, the ground is the actual temple.
Your hands are the cauldron, the chalice, the athame, the sword etc.
YOU ARE THE TOOL THERE IS NOTHING YOU NEED EXCEPT YOURSELF.

! The tool helps but not needed! Once you acknowledge that everything is within you, you are all you need!
I tried to use an athame few times, but bleh, it’s not me.
I had a strong realisation a while ago after focussing on Lucifer: The air I already breathe in, the water I can drink from the Earth (it’s already in my body), The warmth I can generate through walking, hiking, bouldering etc, and it’s also a good way to ground my energy. By using the week to week activities and transforming them to a a tool of power does make more sense. So the magick is already within, it just needs a way to channel it’s way out! Through thought, movement and action! Keep it simple.
