Every one of us is a creator, and the principal act of creation is perception or observation. This is how we define what is. Perception or observation however is not the final word. Our minds frame the perceived and this is how we define what things mean and how we put things in a causal context.
In occult ritual there's often great care being given to the collection and proper care of tools. The athame, or ritual working knife, the sword, the staff, a few artifacts that store and contain vibrations to be used in similar rituals. A deck of tarot cards. The book of spells. To some these tools are not to be touched, spoken about or even taken out of their storage when not used for proper ritual. The witches broom.
Objects of course receive an imprint of the meaning given to them by their owners. But this is a weak reflection compared to the meaning the mind wields.
There are those who improvise the tools when needed, any old kitchen knife will be the sacred ritual knife, and modern witches when in a pinch occasionally replace their brooms by vacuum cleaners. There is no real difference between their effectiveness. It's just a matter of preference.
It's all in your mind. Matter is devoid of meaning. The meaning is added to the matter by the mind. Just like color does not exist in the real world. Our minds assign colors to patterns in light and our mind assigns magic to specific material objects.
If you believe pronunciation matters. It probably will. If you don't believe it matters it won't...
