how to tell when to replace your tools...

Your cauldron is so rusty, you always add more materials than is needed so you dont see the rust flakes.....

You cant even tell what design was on your altar cloth anymore, from all the wax and the ash..... (true story, seriously)

Your Athame is only being held together with duct tape and the will of the Horned God......

What was a chakra wand is now just an amethest wand......

Your candle holders have so much wax build up, you have to call on the the powers to get the candle in.....

When offering wine to the goddess out of your 'silver' chalice, you add the line
"chalice of dinge and grime, may the godess drink whats mine".....

Your quill feather can be read by indentations on the paper, scattered with the common ink blots....

Your altar bell doesnt 'clang', it 'thunks'.....

When reachng spirits on your spirit board you remember where the letters are by singing "abcd....".....

Your pendulm isnt really accurate, do to the saftey pin.....

You can see lots of things in your crystal balll, like that scratch, there and there and the crack there....
