Wands/staff, athmane/sword, I'd like to get your takes on it. And yeah I know that the staff and sword are used in ceremonial magick and wand and athmane are used in more widespread magick workings.

What? Are you for real? I didn't know there were people who took Wicca seriously. Sword sounds cool though.

You answered yourself - it's all about personal preference.
Some rites and paths use prescribed items, and that's part of their makeup. Nothing wrong with that.
But in general - it all comes down to what works best.
Personally, I not sure I've used the same set of tools twice in a row. I go with what fits my intent and what "feels right"

Actually, my teacher told me nothing was needed. It's proper for Wiccan ceremonies I believe. I did find a wand that called to me, but I'm not allowed to use it yet. Apparently it's a bit too powerful. :)

Yes it is personal preference. With that said, depending upon specific traditions you would use one over the other.
I have used all depending upon what I was working on, but now-a-days I prefer to use just me as it works well like that too. ;)

Put all of these thing away and get something much better than all of them combined.
A personal relationship with some one who will lead and guide you into all truth. The Holy Spirit, God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
