The Wizard’s Reflection

Waving The Magic Wand

Tools are essentially extensions of our will. Weaponry is called “arms” for they extend one’s lethal reach. The magic wand is the ultimate symbol for the extension of one’s will. Taking its’ form from the lever that helps one move a rock far heavier than they could otherwise, it becomes synonymous with the casting of magic, or as we might learn to know it, “spooky action at a distance.”

The tools of the trade give one access to express their skills along the lines of their craft. This synergy between tool and skill is an exploration of broader expression. Our abilities are able to reach further with the right tools at our disposal. Whether our tools are physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, or otherwise, they all serve this purpose of our expansion.
