These beautiful wands are handmade by Wookies Woodland Workshop - each wand is unique so please allow for design variation.
This beautiful wands are made from fallen branches from Kinver Edge in South Staffordshire. The wood is freely given. It is then dried, sanded and then polished using beeswax.
The bark is left on the handle. This is for several reasons, one is aesthetics, and the other is so that the sweat of your hand doesn’t discolour the wood. It also makes gripping easier. The handle of this one has been bound in a gorgeous coloured twisted wire. It is approximately 18 inches long
These wands are made to order so please allow a minimum of 14 days for delivery.
When you finish choosing or making a wand, you will want to dedicate it to magickal work. The ritual should be short and simple: place the tool on the altar, cast a circle, and perform a shrt ritual to consecrate the tool. If you belong to a specific Witchcraft tradition, use the ritual specified by your tradition. If you are an eclectic Witch or still undecided on tradition, make up your own short ceremony, possibly based around a poem you write.
If you have a permanent altar, you might leave your wand on your altar for 24 hours after your ceremony before making use of your new wand. Any of the Sabbats or New Moon or Full Moon are particularly appropriate times to dedicate a new wand.
Some traditions correspond wands with the element air. Some traditions correspond wands with the element fire. In some traditions, the element is determined by the materials and decorations, including runes and other magick writing. The wand is considered to be a phallic tool and therefore of masculine element and male energy. The wand corresponds with the planet Mars. Wands are most commonly used to channel energy. Match the wand’s materials and decorations and magick writings to the kind of energy being channelled. Wands may be used to cast a circle. Some Witches use an athame for most circles, reserving wands for casting circles of special significance. Wands may be used to invite and control entities and for manifestation.
