Further suggestions

1. There are a number of ritual objects used in Wicca, it would be helpful to know exactly which items constitute a "tool," and which items do not. A 'tool' is simply an object that can be given or possesses magical properties. Some tools have been popularized by Wiccan 'icons,' such as Gerald Gardner. Example- the knife, pentacle amongst others. ie - in the case of the Chalice, the paragraph reads Many Wiccans do not consider it to be a tool, but instead to be a symbol of the Goddess, particularly her womb.

2. Is jewelry actually considered a tool?

3. Consecrating tools - Are tools consecrated before each use, or only once. Under what circumstances, if any, would a tool have to be re-consecrated or discarded or destroyed? Something like a Torah or Quran, for example have to be discarded if they are damaged or simply reach the end of their useful life.

4. Maybe the article should be moved to something like "Ritual objects used in Wicca," with tools under their own heading.

I know the answers to these questions, but I'm posing them here before I go about making any changes to the article. Valgrus Thunderaxe (talk) 07:38, 23 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Stang

Although it given as the link from the disambiguation page for the word Stang, this Wiki article does not, in fact, cover the stang (a kind of forked staff) among the ritual tools of Wicca. Could something be done to remedy the omission? I appreciate that the stang is actually associated with Traditional Witchcraft in contradistinction to Wicca; though it will be appreciated that, in uninitiated parlance, the two are readily confused.
