WOODS & FURNITURE & SUPERSTITION


The woods have their own magical powers and influences, and your chairs, 
couches, desks and stools ñ in fact, all your wooden furniture ñ contain the 
energies of the woods from which they were made.

Ebony, for example, is a wood of magical power and protection. Furniture made 
from it is ideal for rooms in which magic is frequently performed.

The following is a list of woods and their magical influences. You might keep 
these in mind when purchasing new furniture.

Ebony:            magic, power, protection
Oak:              strength, luck, health, protection

If you plan to redecorate soon, you may wish to wait until the New Moon. Moving 
furniture at that time grants good fortune to the mover.
