I just want to say that i love seeing this thread title in the forum list
At the bare minimum, it shows you're serious about the project. There used to be a group online whose initiation required making a cut on the body with a knife one had made himself. I mean black-smithing, chipping flint, what have you.I'd say that's true for any materials - grow those herbs, cut that timber, gather those seashells, and when you're got them - carve that wand, sculpt that statue, blend that incense.
For me, I've always just worked better with things I've gathered or made myself. Putting in the time, the thought, and the effort just seems to work better for me.
For that matter, I think I recall reading that, back in the Renaissance (and most likely before) artists in stone like Michelangelo routinely forged their own chisels.I'd say that's true for any materials - grow those herbs, cut that timber, gather those seashells, and when you're got them - carve that wand, sculpt that statue, blend that incense.

You can use some of them if your practice acknowledges Cernunnos, or Dominus Umbrarum, or any other archetypal Lord of Shadows / Lord the Wild, as sacred when Invoking them. Skulls with Antlers as well as just about any relics of their sacred animals find favor in their sight.I have come into possession of like three deers worth of teeth. How? Don't ask. What am I supposed to do with all of these deer teeth?
Of course you can also arrange the teeth in some meaningful manner on your altar, let go and Feel what's right!You can use some of them if your practice acknowledges Cernunnos, or Dominus Umbrarum, or any other archetypal Lord of Shadows / Lord the Wild, as sacred when Invoking them.

Just a small pile of the teeth on your altar is fine, use the others for stuff the other folks mentioned!
I have used some- not all, but some, for making rattles. I have used them in turtle shell rattles and larger hide rattles.I have come into possession of like three deers worth of teeth. How? Don't ask. What am I supposed to do with all of these deer teeth?
