I found an old hatchet (handmade, 50s/60s) while clearing out my grandfather's house. Despite having no practical use where I live, I've been holding it in my hands often. There's something deeply spiritual about such a simple, solid tool--almost like a masculine sacred object.

Crystals, jewelry, ritualistic/symbolic items as feminine principled sacred objects whose power is intuited rather than drawn upon practically?

Yes, perhaps. There's a masculine allure of 'gear' or objects that could be used to accomplish very tangible physical tasks that corresponds with the ancestral role of men. Objects less task oriented, but more aesthetic or 'ambient' (feel vs. do) might correspond to the feminine.
