How to create magical tools that evolve with your magical practice

In this week’s live podcast episode, we go deep with Taylor on the magical tools he’s created over the years.

Not just the what, but the how and why: the backstories, the experiments, the unexpected results and the evolution of his magical process.

Taylor has built tools that don’t just serve function, they transform identity.

And now…. It’s YOUR turn!

Forge Your Own Magic: A Community Challenge & Giveaway

Invitation:

This week, we’re inviting you into the forge.

Not to buy a tool or borrow one.

But to make one rooted in your magic, your body, and your rhythm.

A pendulum.
A wand.
A deck.
A dice.
A dream mask.
A playlist.
A candle.
A spell jar.

We want you to build something that can be used as part of your magical practice and not a one-off contained magical working.

Your rules. Your process. Your intention.

🛠️ You don’t need to be a crafter. You just need to be curious.
🎙️ Listen to our episode for inspiration from Taylor’s toolkit.
✨ Then create your own. And share it with us.

How to Participate:

Choose your form.
What magical function do you want to support? (Focus, joy, protection, clarity, erotic aliveness, divination, etc.) What form wants to come through? (Wand, pendulum, playlist, sigil, necklace, mask, app, jar, dice…)

Infuse it with intention.
Charge it. Breathe into it. Journal with it. Speak to it. Name it (if it wants one). Ask it what it needs.

Use it.
Integrate it into your practice. See what unfolds. This isn’t about perfection. It’s about relationship.

Share it with us.
Send us a message titled: My Magic Tool
Include a photo, a short description, or even a story or poem:
• What did you make?
• Why?
• What happened when you used it?

Submit your entry by August 1st to be included in the draw and featured in our community post.

Everyone who participates will:

“Forge Session: Custom Magical Tool Creation”
In this 60-minute private session, we’ll work together to co-design a magical tool just for you. Something alive. Something that wants to be made through your hands, heart, and current. We'll tap your elemental affinities, archetypal patterns, and real-life needs to build something potent, practical (and fun!) that is wildly personal.

AND receive a special invitation to our August Magical Experiments Alchemy Lab, where we’ll go deeper into refining your tool and discovering new ways to activate and use it. (Only open to those who participate in the challenge or are paid subscribers.)
