New Age Paraphernalia

You've been there before: You buy that crystal for it's magical properties but then you decide that one is never enough to do the job so you buy that special amulet, however soon you find out that perhaps it's a different shape that'd make the difference in attaining the result you want - before you know it, you've a collection of assorted "what not's" to start your own eBay online store if so chose to sell them at one point.
The same goes for all those do-it-your-self spell kits, candles, and my favourite, those annual astrology compatibility booksthat you've kept for years...
"why?" They say if you don't use it, you'll loose it" Well, because it's not a human ability to go back into time, lose the outdated books that reference yesteryear not to mention the spiritual and new age items you purchased that you have no intention of using again or have ever used in some cases.
The tools you use for spiritual enhancement and magick is like the ingredients of medicine.
Some medicines loose their effectiveness, some should only be used for a designated timeframe, and some medicines need to be reinforced sometimes to be stronger but for crying out loud they should be used else thrown away.
After all the tools that you purchase unless displayed as ornaments are to be used less that contain no power at all.
It's not hard to keep up with your tools, and know what to do with them...
but very some very simple guidelines below to assist with the clutter on your altar: 1.
Your tools should be charged properly with the correct corresponding activating spell, incantation etc.
Don't just purchase that "Money Tree" amulet and that that you'll be able afford to go to P Diddy's party's on a regular basis.
2.
If your amulet has served it's purpose and has proven to work for you keep it and disregard all the other crap that you have that's not working...
the amulet, charm etc.
that you use will continue to be charged with working for only you.
3.
Be mindful that those tools you purchased in that New Age store or online can carry negative energy, so make sure you are aware of what you have hanging around your home and you in fact are acting spiritually counterproductive to what it is that you want.

A note on love:..
..
..
it's going to take some work...
a little more than a Rose Quartz! 5.
Books: Do your homework and look on the internet first - it's free! Don't get stuck purchasing something that just going to collect dust.
The best books on spiritualism, the occult and new age are timeless compact with priceless information not found on the internet! 6.
Study the significance behind what you want to purchase.
Many spells, incantations, and amulets have words, and symbols that you don't know what they hell they say.
Make sure you lean the meaning and feel the meaning less it' just becomes a novelty.
7.
Lastly, however foremost, change your mindset and focus on the energy and power you have over purchase anything as your inner power IS stronger than any item you can buy.
You don't have to through everything away that you have as I'm sure if not magical some items may be sentimental to you...
like your first tarot set or your first pendulum etc.
Go ahead and keep those but get rid of all the other garbage that 1) you don't use and 2) Haven't done crap for you! Keeping all that doesn't matter just becomes the stereotypical "mumbo jumbo" it just doesn't work.
Once you've cleared you altar, cupboard or room up unwanted or unused items, you've only your dedication, and knowledge on the matter at hand to deal with attaining your spiritual goals which is a job in it self...
but at least you're closer than you were before than to have tools that don't contribute to your cause.
