Who makes your witchy tools and does it matter?
China probably and as far as I know, no. I order my tools online (no pagan stores here). Before I get stabbed over and over again with your mental disapproval, let me explain.
I am creative, but not very artsy and it comes in spurts. I like things a specific way when I am crafting something and if it doesn't turn out right (uneven, wrong color theme etc) for me, I hate it. It will bug me when using it. My mind will fixate on that imperfection and I will become frustrated.
Also I don't have the money or tools to craft things. Making jewelry? Relatively inexpensive (depending on what materials I am using) and I am actually planning on making some, because I can never find exactly what I want or when I find something I love it is out. But buying a wood burning kit, stained glass tools, sharp tools to carve wood etc can become a big expense (especially the stained glass tools). And like I said, I neither have the money to buy them or places to put them. (two bed apartment with three people....the extra balcony is already taken up by my altar and the balcony is not big...........at all)
What I am leading up to is, while I think it is cool that people can make all their altar (or most) tools themselves, please stop preaching to others who cannot!!!.....!! (<extra emphasis.)
I've seen others lecture others about getting their tools from a store. I mean its like cmon really? Not all of us have the means to get the tools and materials to make an athame. Not all of us have room to make that tool in. Sometimes it is just simpler to buy a 20 dollar athame online. I did and I love my athame. (I am using athame as an example) And not all of us are craft, artistic whatever!!!!
My athame.
I mean why is it so bad to buy already made tools, that you feel drawn too?
That is my questions to you. Who makes your witchy tools, does it matter and why do you think it is bad to buy already made tools?
