Now, I know the title seems very broad, so I'll explain a bit here. I've been doing a bit of research into pagan paths, and one thing that I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around is why certain, seemingly meaningless objects, have particular magic effects. Like plants that have these kinds of effects, or stones or treebark, certain crystals, etc.
Like, is there a reason that people often associate a certain herb for a certain property when using spells, or did someone just make it up? Or like using some object as a representation of an intent, why do these objects have any magical property at all?
I'm not trying to be offensive or negative, because I truly am curious in a pagan path, but I'm having a hard time really understanding as to why magic works with these "accessories" and how they can help someone's spiritual intents, rather than just being a random object that seems pretty.
So any answers to my questions would be immensely appreciated.
