I want to know if The Cult have any magical instruments(daggers, wands, etc.). I know the Sword in The Necronomicon, but I just know this-one.

I don't think the CoC have special instruments, but you may use any if you wish! I think the use of instruments are facultative or obtional because we must become the best instument for Magic.

Different tools for different occasions, you dont really NEED anything but your self. But tools can of course help.

Personally i prefer creating such things myself out of whatever bits and materials i can find, but others prefer to obtain these things.
You must work with your options, lol

depending on you beliefs inmagic,instruments serve as prop, or tool, but are not required.

I use improv.In a non-magickal home,to make up for it I just select items that symbolize sacred aspects of myself.Laugh warning,it may seem kinda silly to some
Because I create things I use an art pencil which symbolizes creating a connection.Because it helps induce altered states I use my ipod which symbolizes to me the world we cannot see.I draw what ever I am calling on on a piece of paper and use that to symbolize what I am connecting to.And finally I use an eraser because it symbolizes erasing the barrier between me and whatever.
4 objects I can use as tools much like traditional mages use daggers wands etc.
Its much better when creative thought is put into it because it's way more personal.Things more personal and systems that are personalized are more sacred feeling in my opinion.

Whaetever rocks our boats, lol I like your method, because (again, as we all seem to agree on) its not so much the tool as it is how you use it that matters. Some people will get a far greater result from using a pencil or an ipod, than they would pointing around a giant sword. Its the person, not the tool. Folk find a way, using intuition as their main tool (as you have done). Survival of the fittest sort of thing, some people can bake a cake without using an oven sort of thing. It is one of the things that has kept us (our race) alive for all these eons.
