Occult symbols are mysterious and often misunderstood. They have been used throughout history to convey hidden meanings and symbolism. One common material that these symbols are found on is wooden sheets. Wood has been a popular choice for occult symbols because it is believed to have natural spiritual properties. The use of wooden sheets allows these symbols to be easily carved or burned into the surface. This creates a lasting impression and adds to the allure and power of the symbol.

Also, note that the choice itself was not Houdin's as you seem to imply ("Did Robert Houdin just come up with the design on the fly?") — the sentence you quote from his book makes clear that in his day the ebony rod with ivory tip was already traditional.

posted by beagle at 9:59 AM on October 2, 2019 [1 favorite]The specific type of wood used can add another layer of symbolism to the occult symbol. Wooden sheets are also practical for occult symbols because they can be easily transported and hidden. Many occult practitioners prefer to keep their symbols secretive and accessible only to those initiated in their craft. Wooden sheets can be rolled up, folded, or stored discreetly, making them a preferred medium for occult symbols. In addition to their practicality, wooden sheets also have a certain rustic and earthy quality that aligns with the occult aesthetic. The natural grain and texture of wood add depth and character to the symbol, enhancing its mystical presence. Furthermore, the tactile nature of wood allows practitioners to feel a strong connection to the symbol by physically touching and interacting with it. Overall, occult symbols on wooden sheets have a rich history and carry significant meaning. Through their choice of material and craftsmanship, practitioners are able to infuse their symbols with power and spirituality. Whether carved, burned, or painted, these symbols on wooden sheets serve as powerful tools in the world of the occult..
