There are many tools used in witchcraft.
Talismans[]
- Main article: Bennett Talisman
Witches use material items that act as talismans. They are usually in form of either a crystal or stone. It can increase their powers and help them to channel magic. Bonnie Bennett used the Bennett Crystal as a talisman for a time before she destroyed it whilst possessed in History Repeating.
Grimoire[]
- Main article: Grimoire
A witch records all of her/his spells, rituals and recipes in a Grimoire. It is a spell book filled with information, hexes and spells. Bonnie uses her ancestor's Grimoire to learn her craft. Jonas Martin had an obsession with Grimoires and collected them. This was important in finding the spell to channel the power of the dead witches which will possibly lead to the end of Klaus and to find and save his daughter. After Jonas and Luka died, Bonnie packed up their grimories and presumably kept from in order to kill Klaus.
Cauldron[]
Cauldronis an object used for witches spells and curses. One of them was used during the sacrifice.
Stones and Herbs[]
- Main article: Vervain
- Main article: Wolfsbane
- Main article: Lapis Lazuli
Witches use stones and herbs in their magic as many of them have magical properties. Amber crystal protects a witch from evil, Vervain protects them from vampires and Wolfsbane protects them from Werewolves. The later two have the same effect but are for vampires and werewolves, respectively. They cause the victim to be weak and feverish when ingested similar to poisoning. When in contact with it, it will burn them. Lapis Lazuli, when enchanted, will protected Vampires from sunlight. The effect of Amber is usually 'shocking' a human who comes in threatening contact with the bearer.
Candles and Fire[]
Witches use candles in their spells to aid them and channel the flames. This enhances their magic as they draw energy away from the flames. Fire is a strong component in Witchcraft as it is the main offensive tool used. It has also been used as barriers and to destroy objects. They also use candles in channeling. Channeling is when a witch siphons power of an element, celestial event or even another witch. Bonnie also used this power, to create fire in her hand, as well as to light candles and make them out again.
Minerals[]
Esther was able to create a Boundary Spell sealing vampires within a circle by using salt.
