Magic Forums

Hi everyone...i would like your input on this topic :)
so the more and more i learn about the craft the more i begin to realize that the only tools you really need to manifest your desires are to have strong wanting and intent and a powerful belief that your desire will for sure manifest...im begining to feel like the wholei ritual and big ceremony with all the toold herbs candles etc is just a big show designed to give us confidence that our spell will manifest...kind of like the placebo effect.
Dont get me wrong i love all my tools and nothing gets me more excited than going shopping for magical items however i do wonder if the tools truly to posess power within them or is the power only within us? What do you think ? :)
blessed be all
