Herbs, like you said, sure, we burn ‘em. Then that’s that. Gemstones can be offered and then kept somewhere safe or carried on your person if you feel it has talismanic value I guess. But what about stuff that doesn’t evaporate or break down easily? Hm.

I also gave up on wearing watches less than ten years ago because within months, I would kill their batteries.

I have not really understood the streetlight thing; I’ve always just thought it was the way the lights were made. I didn’t know some people made them go out. So I really can’t offer any proof there.

The main thing is, I kill watches and lights.

If you look at most people that use the single point down, they are using a more humanist based magick, where as those using the single point up tend to call upon the divine.

If you take the meaning of that single point (Chi/energy) and it very likely represents where the power of that energy comes from.

Pagans == Power of the divine
Satanists (etc) == Power of the Self

Next time you use magick that called upon you inner energies, try flipping your star. You may notice a huge difference in the effectiveness of the ritual.

It was much later that I realized I could have sold it on eBay for some cash *sigh* oh well.
