The four mayor MAGICK(k)al weapons and the equivalents in the tools of the painter. (These insights are based on the teachings of Frater PERDURABO, Brother FEALEATARO and my own small knowledge of the topic)
The wand (Thelema) / The staff (DIABOlEUN)
The wand symbolises the will of the magician because it has the form of a straight line.(To explain the magical/natural will of a person would take to much place)
The magical will is a two sided coin, one side is the beginning, and the other side is the end. You want to become something, but to become this thing you have to admit that you aren’t it.
The will is word, and Toth the G.O.D. of MAGICK is also the G.O.D. of speech and Hermes the ambassador carries the caduceus (the staff with the two snakes, this is also a symbol of Aron who’s staff became a snake and killed all the snakes of the other magicians, of course its also an symbol of the eternal DNA). Hermes and Toth are one spiritual law/person, it has been said that Hermes Trismegistos was the inventor of hieroglyphs and the first magician, he was the teacher of Moses and the Egyptians loved him so much they made him Toth the Ibis godhead….
Hermes--Hermetic=Occult=Hidden.
With the wand the magician can evocate (create) the spirits.
This should show the correspondence of the magical wand and the brush (pencil, feather, rapidograph ecc) of the artist, the brush is the tool with whom the artist creates (evocates, summons) the archetypical pictures (the living/breathing mind forms=spirits, I thought about this earlier, I think I wrote something like: My pictures are not on this earth to please the eye of men, my pictures are here to please the spirits they portray). So the brush(wand) symbolises the will and the word (work) of the artist (magician).
Crowley wrote that the wand is also the feather of the poet or philosopher. It should be clear that the wand is also the pencil of the pupil, in this form the law is not manifested but existing in its essence, because the pencil of the pupil cannot symbolise the freewill of an artist and his brush or the magician and his wand/staff.
The wand is a symbol of the phallus, a male weapon.....this is another clear correspondence with the brush.
In the DIABOlUEN-Tradition the brush/wand is the staff. The staff is relating to air, the wand was relating to fire.
The following Link contains a picture of Hermes Trismegistos by Master Jofrah:

The other tools/magical weapons will follow, I also will edit this first correspondence from time to time.
Maybe you could add some information.........
