As a newcomer to Paganism I'm starting to build up a collection of equipment. I've got a specific question but thought a more general thread on the various aspects of choosing, acquiring and using our tools might be useful.

I like to wear pendants and have a few such as crystals, Woden's spear Gungnir, Thor's hammer Mjolnir, and a couple of dragons (representing the English white dragon or Wyvern).

My question is around second hand items. One of my dragon pendants is second hand, I know the previous owner and I haven't worn it yet. Will it still be infused with their energy and need 'emptying' before I start to use it, or is it ok just to start wearing it and the old owner's energy will gradually be replaced with mine? Or am I better to avoid second hand items altogether and start afresh with new?
