Lightbulbs Christmas ornaments Legos Action figures Snail shells Old nails A hammer A packet of gum Dust A book mark Oragami A paint brush Fairy lights A padlock A thimble Jewellery boxes Glow sticks Headphones A ticket A bus pass Receipts Graffiti Junk mail Menus Happy meal toys Straws Cutlery A coffee cup Anymore ideas? ---

I’ve saved little trinkets since I was younger. I always kept them in a box I got when I went on vacation to South Carolina. Now, I use them for divination after I do a tarot reading or some other form of divination. I do have a thimble in my box too, I just kept it with my sewing bag. That was my grandmother’s. Here’s the box with some trinkets: ![1649759062387692285300485888785](https://spells8s3.b-cdn.net/original/3X/5/c/5c39802d6dc0cef16633cc143b5aa70a80f5b44f.jpeg) ---

In her book Utterly Wicked, Dorothy Morrison suggests using a Barbie doll or action figures instead of crafting a poppet from scratch. Use markers and things to dress it up to look like your intended target! LOL! I got a giggle over that. ---

Anything can be used for witchcraft! My coke can? Sure. My pencils? Sure! My flute! Yup! My yarn, absolutely! ---

I did a cord cutting with an axe. Talk about satisfying! ---

I like the axe idea!! After I learned how to make fire starters with [dryer lint](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uevKyuP4eZc), I realized that it can be used for help with any spells where you want to burn something fast. Use it with caution! 🔥 ---

> [@jem1](#): > > The amazing thing about witchcraft is that it is incredibly versatile and individual to the practitioner. Hear, hear! 🥳 Oh, @Jem1, I love this list you’ve put together as well as the creative push- this is great encouragement for thinking out of the box and using what we have for some fun magick! ✨ I agree that just about anything can be used in magick so long as it holds some meaning or representation to the caster 👍 Adding to the list- **shedded cat or dog fur** is great for a little animalistic or natural addition to spellwork, especially when looking for loyalty (dog fur 🐕 ) or clever thinking (cat fur 🐈 ). And I’m sure anyone with pets will agree that we have more than enough of stray fur laying about- put it to use in spellwork! 😂 ---
