Artifacts of ‘magickal’ significance in the occult are practical tools – or at least they can be. They are not practical in the old aeon sense of summoning up demons, or suddenly gifting the practitioner with powers: a judaeo-christian concept to escape reality, turn one’s back on the real world of nature and cosmic struggle and hiding in a fantasy of abstract philosophy. On the other hand, those who have begun to liberate their psyche from the old aeon, live a life in harmony with nature and the precepts of the Order, and constantly seek to transform their life and attain realisation of their potential may be ready to use crystals and other materials for real magick.
That is once a certain state of being is reached (and this takes time, effort, hard-work, training, study, strenuous harmonization and improvement of body-spirit-mind including re-visualisation for a zestful living) then it becomes natural to have in one possession for the dialectic of magick (that is participating in The Great Work) in association with others who have also reached a modicum self evolution – which is an ongoing process and must never be confused with artificial occult title of adept, master etc). These items are usually themselves natural and usually come via one of several direct.
Via one’s Lodge/Order with which one is allied for self evolution in natural symbiosis of creative dialectic (Hidden Alchemy).
Obtained by oneself in a certain numinous site whilst on Expedition with comrades.
Found or discovered accidentally in one’s life or pathway.
Procured from actual sacred sites (e.g. ancient or Hyperborean).
Really effective magickal items are never bought in a shop, (there are exceptions: e.g. a suitable neck medallion of one’s totem or deity which is then ‘charged’ in a sinister rite with one’s Teacher). For those who live outside the Albo-Eriu lands the only effective way is via 1 above. However before requesting any such item be aware of its significance and be aware of your need/reasons for it. Be also aware that a bond exists between you, it and its origins (i.e.: (a) the sacred site blood/energy, (b) the Order Tradition to which you have dedicated yourself for the Folk, the Aeon and self-evolution). This bond is eternal, and forms part of the matrix for the aeon itself.
There are several artifact materials for [titles redacted] (OJB also has its range of items), e.g. wood, pebble, slate, charcoal. But one of the most significant is: Quartz, available to members of the OJB and FL from the region of one of the sites of The Ten Ringed Path either as rough lumps for altar work or burial/ritual or as small pieces for personal use/neck etc. It is highly charged.
