POUCHES
Materials:
Leather (or any material you like.)
Fake sinew (or string/thread.)
Sewing machine, or needle if sewing by hand.
Scissors
Leather punch (if working with leather.)
Decorations: paint, beads, stones (Optional)
First cut 2 pieces of your leather or material into a square or a rectangle any size you want your pouch to be. (make sure these two pieces are the same size.)
Next, place the material face to face (this means if you have a pattern on your material, you want the pattern on the inside of your bag at this time.)
Now, take your needle and thread, or use a sewing machine, and sew around three sides of the pouch. Be sure to leave one side open, this will be the top of your pouch.
When you are finished sewing, use your scissors and cut the thread off.
Turn the pouch inside out. If you used a pattern on your material, your pattern should now be on the outside of your pouch.
To close the pouch, you can either use string, and just tie it around the top of the pouch, or you can cut small slits in the material and weave a string through the slits. (I don't recommend this on thin material.)
Your bag is now done, all you need to do is decorate it if you wish.

For some reason, Indian food and carmamon do pretty much everything for me. Puts me in the mood for sleep, exercize, studying...whatever I need to be, I'll be.
About the tools thing, I make wands out of fresh wood that's already fallen or broken off a tree. I'll find out from which one the piece came from, research the properties it holds, and dress the wand to be strongest in those particular properties with oils, natural dies, feathers, strings, stones etc...whichever colors, whatever I feel fit. I'll always carve in, or paint on my magick name with the Ogham alphabet.
To actually make the wand, in a ritual bowl, I'll soak it in rain (or lake) water, depending on which is more readily available. If I'm attuning the wand to water, then I'd soak it an extra day or so. I strip the branch of its bark, without scraping any off with a knife. Once the moon (preferably full, if it's not, then I'll wait for it to come) has risen, I'll hold out the bare wand and ask for the Goddess to bless it with Her light. The wand will stay outside for the whole night. The next day, I'll begin with the whittling and sanding of the wand. After I'm satisfied with the shape and smoothness of the wand, I'll decorate the wand, and it's ready for use.
yup, that's it. Every wand I make comes out different, and ever time I make one, I have a different experience. Hope this helps.

I found out some of the most wonderful tools can be imporzized items. Just use the item that has the most signiffacance to a situatuion properly.
An example is I got this key chain froma job that canned me for very questionable and unethical reasons. So instead of acting out agenst them, I put the death rune on the key chain with my pocket knife, empowering the item with all the negative energy I had with the place, and then I threw it behind me at the old job and waked away never looking at it. I stayed away for 3 years and I felt great and cleansed.
Ironicly the places closed down 4 years after this insadent and is now under new ownership mrgreen

I do follow the rede, simply because I'm not the type of person who likes to watch someone suffer even if they have done wrong towards me.
There are many people who aren't Wiccan in this guild though, so they have no incentive to follow the rede.

I have a friend who sort of makes candles by re-using the wax. When a candle is melting, she'll put a wick and mold underneath to catch the wax.
