What are the spells/methods for creating clerical magic items? What level are they? How do you obtain/learn them. What are the rituals and secrets surrounding creating these items?

Totally different set of spells / effects. No castable clerical spell can be stored in an item, and no item-spell or effect can be used / cast without that item.
As much as possible, item-magic and casting-magic should not overlap or duplicate each other.
One could separate it out by domain - healing magic can be cast only with "laying on of hands" (no item), while other clerical spells require an item.
Possible detail: non-healing magic used through item not "charged" with the spell, but used as a focus.
Example: Cure Light Wounds castable by touch. Light, on the other hand, requires a torch or lantern...it just works really steadily and well and without any source of fuel. This leaves healing as the only obvious "miracle."

Magic-users make them at the cost of gold and x weeks of time. Example prices are given in the first few pages of Men & Magic.

I am actually looking for things that people do that are different or goes beyond what is in the 3LBBs. Just for ideas, sometimes its nice to have something to tell your players that helps them get a greater buy in to what you are doing.

At least they asked nicely. And so you left your clerical vows behind and found a new career.

That's either a misfortune, or a really smutty entendre...

Yes, we know. I just like my version better.
"Hey, sailor, wanna let me sink your battleship in my Ocean of Pleasure?"

Mighty Darci, it appears that we have really derailed this thread, do you want me to move the derailed part to another thread or leave it as is?

Gotta watch those rolling eyes, one of the cats might bat one under the sofa. You can't hide those flying eyes, And your smell's a thing disguise. Thought by now you'd realize There ain't no way to roll those flying eyes. (Derail threads? I?)

What are the spells/methods for creating clerical magic items? What level are they? How do you obtain/learn them. What are the rituals and secrets surrounding creating these items? Wow, this is like, asking the designer of the titan class ships to describe how to make a boat. There are so many variables, from sect to sect, deity to deity, and all that goes between. I guess, to start somewhere, I would not let clerics of-- a non-warrior type deity the ability to make magic weapons. a death deity the ability to make healing items (staves, potions, etc.) And go with this pattern of logic.

OD&D has a section in Volume 1 on how to make magic items, with some examples.
I'd use the same process for clerical magic items, except that the caster must be at least a Wizard/Patriarch instead of "merely" a Wizard.

I don't have any special rules for cleric magic items. You have to make them in a church instead of a lab, but the process is the same.
Fighting Men can make weapons and armor in their castles at level 9. If they want spells on them and not just plusses, they need to hire a spell caster to do that part.
elves have to max out magic user (level 8) to make items.
Dwarfs and hobbits have NPC spell casters but they never adventure. Neither kind of PC can make his own items.
But anyone can commission one, if they have the resources.
As far as what spell, you just have to agree between the player and Ref. A Mace of Sleep (!?) would require the Sleep spell for instance.
If your man wants an item that doesn't have a spell analog, get as close as you can and then maybe there's a quest involved for a special ingredient. Everybody likes a fun quest.
