Lovely reading and lovely story. That is quite the item you’ve got in your ritual kit, very impressive. I can see how it could evoke such awe in our human relationship with the cosmos.
I suppose my favorite ritual tool is a chalice made of onyx, whenever there calls for something to drink or libation. Even though it is pictured here, I don’t use it for inoculative libations, just water, mead, or wine ones.

I use my chalice for libations, as well as for pouring rainwater into a dry creekbed in the autumn, to call the rain back. Drought is serious business in California.
