My use of such thing would be for directing energy. So by the sounds of it I can just use a wand. So I think for now I'll just have to stick with that.

Unless you belong to a specific tradition that requires the use of specific tools, you can basically use what you want. Occasionaly I'll use 4 different tools to cast my circle and direct energy.
I will give my all

The meaning of the stang is different for each person. A stang is a forked staff used by some witches in their practices. For me it represents the cross roads, the god and the goddess, a steed by which to "fly to the sabbath" as it were.

Here are a few Stangs. Mine is from a staff that was gifted to me by a wood guardian and a two pronged antler that was given to me by my stepfather.

I can't really do much with my stang where I live. I almost left it at my parents.

Beacuse I live in an apartmet and don't reallyt have the space to work with it. The last time I used it was for the festival of unity (day the God and Goddess get married and get in union *ie sex*). On that day I charged my Stang (Goddess) with Goddess energy and my Staff (God energy) with God energy. This was done through an exotic expressive dance.

Fun, fun. I love dancing in ritual. Lots of fun.

I've been drafting an All Hallows celebration. So far I have have: Guising, a Dumb Supper, Tinley Fire Rite, Drumming and Dancing. Can you think of anything else?

The Tinley Fire Rite is something RA gives for protecting the home through the winter months.

Question 3: What purpose does your altar serve?

My altar serves as a focal point in my rituals. It allows me to place my materials for the ritual in an organized fashion. It is also a center for building power during rituals.

Wearing a mask or a costume and becoming that costume in ritual.

Again, my altar is my stang really so it serves the purpose of being a focal point. I have a table that I put my tools on, but I call it a workbench razz
