What a joy to find someone with integrity in their work and such respect for Nature. Lovely wands.
Thanks!
I have just found you and I couldn't be happier. :) I was thinking..."PLEASE....I hope there are lots of clips for me to watch". Yay, there are! Thank you for sharing your beautiful light, and depth of knowledge and wisdom.
Welcome to the channel! And we have a live show every Sunday that starts at 2 pm (Pacific time) which you are welcome to attend and ask any questions that you might have!
@@siofrasmagicalcove7293 Wonderful, thank you for letting me know.
I live in Arizona and am making a wand from a saguaro rib. The iconic saguaro cactus is a symbol of strength, endurance, and growth, even in the most hostile conditions. The ribs were harvested from a saguaro that died years ago of natural causes. The desert around me is full of saguaro skeletons.
Sounds like it will make a wonderful and powerful magical tool for you!
I chopped my mother cannabis yesterday which was exceptionally big and used as a mother cloning plants. I had to harvest her buds yesterday and she spoke to me. My friend and I both started our growing operations from her. It’s only small batch’s of plants. A lot of energy and happiness was created from her. There was like an intuitive message to make a wand from her
Sounds like a true connection.
Wow. I'm more informed, thank you. I felt Merlin on 7/ 13/2024 and asked if he was there to tap your wand/staff. I felt a shift like a gentle earth shake. I tried to stay connected, but there was too much interference from the world. I'm staying at a nursing home, and the energy is a mixed bag and can get erratic.
Your video is the most informative video I have ever seen! Thank you for all your time and effort
Thank you! And am glad that my effort is appreciated!
For other folks who might be interested...I have been using jojoba oil as a base for my anointing oils because unlike vegetable oils like almond, peanut, or olive, it never goes rancid! :)
I haven't had olive oil go rancid on me. Might be because I'm mixing it with the frankincense.
Thank you so much! I'm a witch hoping to find ways to incorporate my African heritage into my practice. So using oil from the Jojoba tree is even more exciting for me!
@@Iyana Hi, I wish all the best on your journey. You might have already found out, or maybe had a hunch or an inkling, BUT, when you incorporate items from your heritage they normally work best and are easier to incorporate most of the times in to your practice. Also, remember this, use what attracts you, close your eyes, move your hand slowly over the item(s) that your interested in and you might feel a tingle or some charge. It takes practice an patience, but allow the flowers, herbs, oils and woods talk to you and see where they fit in best. You might also surprise yourself that things that are not from your background might resonate even more with you rather than what "is" from your natural background. Each item and person have their own attraction and it might repulse you. Once you gain move experience, blindfold yourself and ask a friend to change the items around and that way, you will truly know better with more experience. @Siofra's Magic Alcove would have more advice to share o this.
I gathered sticks after a hurricane and I picked up a sycamore branch that seemed to mold itself to the curve of my arm. We responded to each other. It is my forever wand.
Awesome!
My chief wand is made from the branch of a sturdy Lilac bush that used to be on my family's acreage, it has a real elegant feel to it. Cheers Siofra!
Awesome! Always nice to be connected to the tree!
Wand making is fun.
I live in woods that are filled with Cedar trees, anytime I am near cedar I feel at ease and one with the Earth so I made my wand from my favorite cedar tree.
Awesome. Me too.
I thought I was the only one who thought crystal’s talked.😂❤Great informative video.Thanks so much.
There are quite a few of us out here I think.
I had to save my rose of sharon from a huge 2 branch twisted grapevine tree so iam using those twisted branches to make 2 wands and a handle for my broom for my broom sedge I harvested and dried this spring. So glad I found your channel. Blessed be
I have a neighbor with a rose of sharon across the street. I've always loved that plant and don't know how I know what it is. I don't think there were any growing around me when I was little, but the first time I saw it I immediately knew its name. It will, I am sure, make a lovely wand.
I find wands which are obtained from nature far more effective… materials which require minimal touch up… ask the nature for it, and if it comes to you that means nature has granted you a gift… not just the wand, also the permission to wield it… now you can do good with it…
I got a few wands made of “king of woods” (agathis borneensis) branches from a few sources… it’s a rainforest wood so dense that it sinks in water, and has very strong vibration due to high iron content… absolutely magical!
I have two wands one smaller for alter work & spells. & a 5ft wand for outdoors casting circles! Both Mountain Ash- rowan! Each witch has her own crooked path. Personally, I feel its about moving energy & intention.
That's why I like to use my wands because each wand has been imbued with a specific energy and my intention.
OH Goddess I love a wonderful Witch!!!
Thank you!!
Absolutely an enjoy, thank you, for sharing your wisdom, Siofra.
I'm surrounded by a lot of beautiful magic trees.

Thank you
You're welcome
I have never worked with wands, but a year ago I went for a walk in a forest nearby and took some branches that were on the floor :) Today I really want to make one out of those branches that I took home and forgot about them :) I have no idea what day it was when I was in the forest, but I feel it is right to do so today. Loved this video so much :)
I find that often the wood chooses its time. I had the piece of myrtlewood that I turned into my Venusian wand for several years just waiting. And then one day I knew it was time! Turned out spectacular!
@@siofrasmagicalcove7293 🙏🤗so good :) your wands are all so beautiful:) you are a very good guide for us in this path❤️
There's a local tree species here that naturally sheds it's bark. Comes off in thin strips . Perfect for drawing out a Sigil or Bind Rune , crushing into a powder and burning it on incense charcoals. Smells like a campfire.
I have a couple of wands. One is an arrow , and the other is copper tubing filled with crushed crystals capped off with an amethyst point and a piece of obsidian at the other end. It's wrapped in green suede and copper jewelers wire added . It's really my go to wand. I use it mostly for healings. But have used it for other types of spells
I had a hard time connecting with the copper tube wand I had. I do better with the wood wands. That's why there's plenty of different ways to make all kinds of wands though!
Very informative. Glad you guys are doing better!
Thank you!
Just discovered you and I loved this post. I have certainly learned so much, and I feel an affinity because I loose my words often too.
Welcome!
Thank you so much for sharing! I’ve been thinking about making a wand and your video came just in time. :)
You are so welcome!
Thanks so much for explaining the different ways to choose and make wands . It really helped me alot.
Glad it was helpful!
I love how informative you are. Helps me in creating
Awesome! Thank you!
taking small limbs from down low on a tree helps make a tree more fire bug resistant !
Often this is where the tree tells me to take branches from but I always leave it up to the tree spirit on the final choice.
thank you for sharing your knowledge with us, I really appreciate it. Blessings!!
You are so welcome
Thankyou
Welcome
My favourite topic 😉😉There are just so many way to make them. The 1st large wand that is shown can be used for ceremonial magic too when casting your circle.
Drift wood wrapped in large / broad leaf seaweed for the handle area, together with a few different stones / crystals imbued in to it and at the tip while wire wrapping with Gold, Silver, Electrum (Gold and silver that are combined, at times with other metals such as copper or palladium, this is a natural occurring) and Copped thin wires to wrap the wand. Or you can make a thin solid wand made from silver rod or copper and then add other elements to it. @Siofra's Magic Alcove your input would be appreciated.
Wands are versatile and there are many ways to construct them. It all depends on your personal path and purpose...as well as your budget. I tend to use different colors of copper wire as I can't afford electrum. Never thought of using seaweed to wrap a handle. Since it is an organic substance I would wonder if it might rot or become dry and brittle and not sure how that would feel to the touch. Sounds like you might know the answer to that!
You are so lovely. Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom. Bless 💗
Thank you and you're welcome!
This was absolutely fabulous. Thank you!
You're so welcome!
I'm getting a lot of great ideas Siofra. Thank you. I plan to make a water Elemental wand using driftwood, amethyst, and clear quartz. Best, Foxwen.
Sounds great! I love making wands and am glad to be an inspiration!
11:30 To help with your brain cramp. It happens 🤷♂️
*_Fire_*
Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius. Fire represents new beginnings, enthusiasm, and resilience.
*_Earth_*
Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn. Earth represents grounding the energy of fire into practical realities. Earth signs value sustainability, possessions that last, and luxuries that are worth the money.
*_Air_*
Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius. Air represents intellect and communication, and connects our hearts and minds to the world around us.
*_Water_*
Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces. Water represents emotional depth, intuition, and a sense of connectedness.
Thank you for teaching the lost art. God bless agla adonai elohim
Your creations are very beautiful ❤
Thank you so much 😀
Selenite is mesmerizing.
I have a large selenite heart, a pair of harmonizer cylinders, and a small obelisk with the moon phases etched onto it.
Pisces is water! 💜
Fabulous video and information...thank you!
Our pleasure!
you´re amazing! this video is definitely the best one out there about this topic, I´ve learned so much. Thank you so much!!!
You're welcome! I'm glad that you got something out of this!
Thank you! Very informative.
Welcome!
i have a Cherry wood wand i live harvested during a Pink Full moon 2022.let it dry for a year and on the Pink Full moon of 2023 i have been anointing it with raspberry oil, peppermint oil a little bit of water and charred it with a lil fire and tobacco smoke
Sounds wonderful!
Thank you x.
You’re welcome 😊
Interesting, thank you for sharing. I'm learning some things about myself recently that I've never understood. I've always been around practitioners but never paid attention to their craft. Something in me has been paying attention more to the energetic world. So I've been quietly learning.
I've been subconsciously doing things, and i don't know why. Like when i bought a house, I planted 2 rosemary bushes on either side of the front door. I have a ritual at the beginning of the year to leave bad work energy at work or catch it in the driveway.
The knowledge of how the energetic world works with our reality is instinctive. It is in every cell and atom of the universe which is why, even when humanity goes through those dark times when we are separated from the stream and it seems like we've lost our way, the knowing is never completely lost and rises and is rediscovered by those of us who tune into the spiritual center of life itself and the planet upon which we live. The trees, the stones, the animals...they all remember the magic for us.
I found a branch of English oak in London. It had fallen near the tree, possibly after a storm.
I had picked this gun shaped stick up and brought it with me, it was Thursday, but can't be sure.
I attached a yellow sapphire to it eventually on a Thursday and made libations, put the sapphire on the end and it looks like a beautiful yellow flame on the end.
Hail Zeus, he who defeated typhon, he who diplomatically and fairly rules between the other great gods .
Hail Zeus jing of the gods.
Sounds lovely!

Great video
Glad you enjoyed it!
Excellent video.
Thank you very much!
I fallow my intuition and pickup what the universe puts in my path while I'm out walking. Currently making a staff for meditation and self reflection while on walks or visiting the graveyard.
As she said, go with what feels right to you. I pick up the stick and I reflect about how it makes me feel in response to purposed uses. Does using it for healing work feel right or protection and banishing work feel better.
This woman seems really practical in her approach and I like it!
So true, it's all about what feels right! And thank you!
@@siofrasmagicalcove7293 exactly, it's all about perception and how you approach life.
Tak the ocean for example; do you see it as dark and dangerous or mysterious and filled with hidden wealth? Do you think k of coral reefs amd Clow fish or barracudas and tidal waves? Do you see it as the primordial womb from with life first formed or as a graveyard of ships and a place we don't belong? Perhaps you see it as all of these allowing its magic to have greater utility to you.
I dont believe in evil because even the most destructive of forces have their place in this world! The fire that burns the forest brings forth ash that fertilizes the land for a healthier growth while removing diseases.
Rot and decay turn what is dead into nutrients for plants and insects for larger animals and us to eat; the circle of life if you will.
As the Hindus say, all things are a part of Brahman and therefore all things are sacred. The true left hand path (Aghori, a hindu practice and concept in origin) teaches us to see this by stripping us of our cultural notions of right and wrong and have us break our taboos so we can transcend our limits and achieve oneness with the universe.
ua-cam.com/video/yMRFTp014T4/v-deo.html
This practice is intense though and not for most people, not at its fullest anyways. Eating your own poo and vomit, partying in ritualistic cannibalism and what not. Putting yourself thru great discomfort while attempting to maintain those higher states of conciousness that many can only find when in very tranquil and more ideal places like meditation retreats.
Most people won't understand this nor will they care to but that is simply the role they are ment to fufill in this grand act so contrast may exsist and knowledge can be had.
Everyone has their own challenges to meet and choose which way they will go in order to achieve their goals. You are correct that it is a good idea to break yourself of the primitive notion of good vs. evil since it is a matter of perspective. I think many could achieve this, however, without going the extra step of eating one's own excrement and bodily waste.
Beautiful wands! Very informative! Would love to study with you...thank you for sharing content!
You're welcome and thank you. You can always sign up for a mentorship on my Patreon page!
Your style of wand looks like a scythe. They look good fir sweeping motions. Interesting. Almost looking at wands and how they direct energy in a similar way to swords.
Wands can be a substitute for a sword or an athame.
Great video ❤ thank you so much!!
You are so welcome!
😃 WOW How Wonderful! Thank you for your insight and wisdom! This is informative and delightful. Thank you so much for sharing. Sending you Much Unconditional Love, LIGHT, Gratitude and Hugs! 🤗😇👍LOVED IT! ❤💜💙💖💚💛👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Glad it was helpful!
@@siofrasmagicalcove7293 I have been on my Journey most of my life but in 2016 I had my Spiritual Awakening and have been on it ever since. I have worked with ghosts and spirits growing up and all through our adulthood before my Awakening. I helped them cross over or cleaned out places. I also practiced magic naturally beforehand. I have always been an empath and finally learned to control it and work and worked as a LIGHT Workers and LIGHT Warrior, Healer, etc.. NOT new age! I have done my shadow work, etc.! Now I'm being guided to make my own wand. I have been thankful to have the experience and knowledge to know what Not to do! 😅🤣👍 Just like everything meant to be we find each other be it a tree limb, etc. Yes It is a lonely path but I now enjoy my time alone but also KNOW I am Never Alone! Not a Path for the faint hearted for sure. Commitment, Dedication, DETERMINATION Will Power and Loyalty is Key! I Love being able to see some of your accomplishments. They were a real treat! 😃😉👍😇 Glad to see a real practician because most on UA-cam are Larps NOT Real. The real ones usually do not identify themselves. The only reason I do right now is for you. I really appreciated your knowledge. I want to make a general practical one for several things to use it for. Got any ideas?? Love and LIGHT Blessings and Namaste ❤💜💙💖💚💛🏌️♀️🌈🌞🌟💎
As you said the ritual is less important than the intention and the focus. You can literally cast a spell with an old sock if ya want. The ritual merly triggers your memory. your memory is in the water. Water is memory. We are not a drop in the ocean, we are the ocean in a drop.
So true!
One of my favouite wands is made from an unknown wood, but it has a copper wire pushed through the core, carved into an acorn at the tip with a tiny quartz point touching the wire inside, and a garnet at the hand. its about 7 inches long. had it for about 23 years.
Sounds like a lovely wand!
I enjoyed your informative video very much, I send my graditude. Being a pendulum Alchemist I understand the quantum energy and the use of a tool be it a pendulum or a wand to move and influence energy. Making a wand I find joy in infusing my energy and intention in creating and working with natural wood. Although I discovered and experienced evidence from when I did not have a tool such as my pendulum or wand with me I used my finger in a circular motion as I spoke my incantation and witnessed a healing in minutes.
I made my first wand out of the top of a tree I found standing dead in the woods. 12 inches of it were dedicated to the wand and I had affixed a quartz tower to the end you hold with hemp twine. As quartz is a neutral crystal and can channel most every energy with a slight magnification. The rest of the tree was converted into a staff. The base was dead but the other 7 feet of it were good.
Sounds lovely!
I have a stick that when I removed the bark insects had made a design on the wood under the bark. I think I’ll make a wand with it!
Sounds like a plan!
You're fun to watch. Thank you for the video... Don't forget to take your ginkgo biloba 😉
Your welcome!
Thank you for all information's !I haven't found my wand yet, last two year's I have searched for it .I have knife that I just found in house nobody know where it is from I felt it was left for me somehow so I use it for cutting herbs .
That's wonderful! Sounds like the knife knew where it belonged. I'm sure your wand will find you in the near future!
omg thank yooooouuuu
Crystals break easily. I was wondering if I could hollow out a wand and put rough gemstones in there, or if the preservation of core wood is more important. I would combine that with copper wire.
Wood is unlikely to crack.
Elder has a soft pith in the center that can be taken out making it a good wood for putting stones into. My lunar wand has a piece of sterling silver tube inside of it filled with moonstone chips. The drill almost split the wood so you have to be careful when doing it. There are a lot of wand designs that call for putting material inside of the wood.
Can I use a bone as a wand? I found a straight leg bone from a deer. Would there be concentrations wands? Maybe I could use it to help me focus and relax?
I see no reason why you couldn't use a bone from a deer, especially if you have a connection to the deer spirit.
Yes! Many people use deer antlers, so go for it!!
A general wand I guess it’s for Halloween 🎃
hello
Welcome to the channel!! Am glad that you found what you were looking for!
Love wand
Lots of different wands!
@@siofrasmagicalcove7293 I I only want one for love
The Venus wand would work for that.
@@siofrasmagicalcove7293 Thank you
@@siofrasmagicalcove7293 can I purchase this on Amazon???
THAT FAERY WAND IS HUGE lol I love it!!! is it heavy??
Not really. The yew wood, though a dense wood, isn't very heavy.
Eu tenho duas varinhas e servem para tudo , mas as suas também são boas
For those of us who do not speak your native tongue, this is what he said: "I have two wands and they are good for everything , but yours are good too". I love my wands and am happy that you have the wands you currently need and want!
Português? :)
@@AuroraNatureSounds yes, that is what it says when you use google translate, which is where I got the translation in my comment.
I’m so sorry about your cedar tree 💛
I'm trying to get into this. I need more manifestation tools
Serendipity?
I was thinking of asking you this while listening to your last live show. But first I wanted to search to see if you covered this before. Then I lost my internet connection while going to my fishing spot,, lol.
Anyways, thank you for this!
Welcome. Love it when what you're needing just shows up!
I'm new to the craft n I've dun a bit o looking and found the Celts have like a zodiac for trees or woods, I'm a Hazel nut I've chosen to make mine out of my wood. And my birth stone as well, and I'm thinking of TRYING to carve a fish too. I'm trying to do my research but there are lots of info it's hard to find the correct one. ( I've not gotten to harvest the wood yet, gotta find a Hazel nut tree they r hard to find out n the wild lol)
Awesome! It's the research, discovery and then the making of a magickal tool that is the most fun for me!
I know about gemstone planatary correspondences, but not so much with wood.
I find a lot of conflicting information about the day and the time to cut the wood and make the wand.
I suppose they didn't go into what type of wand it is as I'm sure that would correspond to the tight day and hour.
I have lots of gemstones and was wondering about mixing planets that are friendly. But I suppose there would be one primary planet.
Also when it comes to gemstones, different cultures assign them to different planets.
The vedic system seems to be the most in depth.
If you see this comment, I am an anthropologist that would like to build something but also get some concise information I can compare and contrast.
It's hard to find anything but gimmicky witches and Harry Potter videos when I try to research this stuff.
I have specific wands (7 planetary, 3 elemental) and general wands. My first wand was a piece of cedar from a tree that I had become quite close to and it was never adorned with crystals. I also have a faerie wand made from yew which has more crystals and stones than any of my other wands (apparently the fae really like rocks and colors and sparkles!). And yes, there is a lot of conflicting information out there on all the correspondences: wood, plant, crystal and stone. When I'm doing research into the subject I try to pick the correspondence that is the most common across several cultures or go back to more ancient source material but I also have to use some intuition and common sense. For a magical tool to be effective the individual that is using it needs to have made a link to the tool, so what stones are used, what material is used and how it is constructed can vary greatly depending on an individual's cultural background and implicit biases. The universe works through symbols but those symbols can be extremely specific to the individual user. One of the funnier (to me) incorrect crystal associations is aquamarine being attributed to air...I guess because of the color? Considering the name means basically water/water (aqua/marine) I fail to see why anyone would think such a thing! So sources are not always reliable and you have to think your way through it to some extent!
Making a wand from the holly tree outside my kitchen window has been on my list of to dos for awhile. I recently felt it was time to cut it, a week or so before a nice new moon with lots of juicy details tied to it so I will have the moon in mind while making it. Q: A list describes holly, then describes American Holly with some more different non-magical oriented words like being the whitest wood sometimes stained to Mahogany. Do you think it means American Holly holds the same as English Holly as well as being the whitest?
I think that all woods have both magical and non-magical descriptors so I don't think that it matters if it's English Holly or American Holly. They both have spikey leaves, stay green all year, make red berries. I have a piece of holly that I harvested but I haven't made a wand with it as yet. They are in the same family.
Hello, tahnks for the nice introduction! What kind of books you would recomend for wand making?
Most of the books that talk about wands don't see the wand as a central or important tool. It's just one of those things that people can have. Franz Bardon goes into more detail about specific types of wands and how they can be constructed. I think most of that information is in his second book, Magical Evocation. The more you know about the symbolism and associations of different woods, stones, etc. the more likely you are to create a more specific type of wand like I ended up doing. It's one of the things I like about this tool. There are endless potential applications and types of energy that you can focus through them.
@@siofrasmagicalcove7293 thank you very much. It's such a good source about magic in general and also interesting to read about his approach to that topic.
Yes, just when I started carving different wands I noticed the different energy they created. One was more connected to the earth, one to the cristall and so on.
Question - I was finishing some altar work and my silver snuffer fell on the floor, made a bell ringing sound and broke in 2 pieces
The bell ringing was a personal sign from my guides about something
Then I picked up the handle and they said- “this is a wand”
I was just wondering if you had any knowledge or intuition about what a silver (may be stainless steel but I have to check) wand may be best for?
I keep thinking silver = moon but beyond that I’m not sure what I should be using it for
(New to wands- thank you so much for your channel and your help)
That would be what I would think.
Hi Siofra, i live in the south east of England so we have many cobb, hazel, horsechestnut and birch here. Which would you recommend for a spiritual defence wand and which would you recommend for elemental contact/invocations? Kindest regards.
Here's what I have on my computer regarding some of the trees you mentioned. Birch, the Inspiration: Vivacious, attractive, elegant, friendly, unpretentious, modest, does Not like anything in excess, abhors the vulgar, loves life in nature and in calm, not very passionate, full of imagination, little ambition, creates a calm and content
atmosphere. Associated with the sun. (Celtic birth month properties) BIRCH* (Betula spp.) A lovely pale, fine-grained wood. Long associated with fertility and healing magic, birch twigs were used to bestow fertility on cattle and newlyweds, and children's cradles were made from its wood. Birch is one of the first trees to grow on bare soil and thus it births the entire forest. Criminals were at one time birched to drive out evil influences on them, to renew them for the new year. Birch was associated with Thor, probably in recognition of his role as an agricultural and fertility deity. Birch is an incredibly useful tree - nearly every part of it is edible, and it's sap was an important source of sugar to Native Americans and early settlers. The inner bark provides a pain reliever and the leaves are used to treat arthritis. It's bark was used for everything from paper to canoe hulls, and axe handles were also made from Birch. Birch is most useful for fertility and healing spells. Male, Air, Sun, Wisdom, Thor, protection, luck, divination.
Chestnut Tree, the Honesty: of unusual beauty, does not want to impress, well-developed sense of justice, vivacious, interested, a born diplomat, but irritate and sensitive in company, often due to a lack of self-confidence, acts sometimes superior, feels not understood loves only once, has difficulties in finding a partner. (This is from a Celtic tree month perspective) Gender: Masculine Planet: Jupiter Element: Fire.
Hazel is associated with Mercury. Hazel is another food tree. In Celtic tradition, the Salmon of Knowledge is said to eat the 9 nuts of poetic wisdom dropped into its sacred pool from the hazel tree growing beside it. Each nut eaten by the salmon becomes a spot on its skin. The Hazel tree provided shade, protection and baskets. In Europe and North
America, hazel is commonly used for 'water-witching' - the art of finding water with a forked stick. Magically, hazel wood is used to gain knowledge, wisdom and poetic inspiration.
So am thinking from this that Birch would make a good spiritual defense wand and Hazel would make a good elemental contact/invocation wand. Do research on local lore and then feel what works for you! Talk to the spirit of each tree and see what they have to say about it!
So, I put out new moon water last night to charge and when I came outside to bring it in, there was a PERFECT stick sitting RIGHT beside it. It is the perfect wand so I brought it in.. however I have no idea what kinda wood it is… does that make a difference?
Only if you are trying for a really specific energy (like a planetary wand). For general purposes I think the circumstances of the find make it the perfect wood, whatever it is!
Aquarius
Is this a question, a statement?
Statement
what wand does cherry blossme make because i love that tree but if cant be used oak trees and verry common here in ireland or i could go to the woods and get a random piece of wood that i have a conection to
I associate cherry wood with air although others associate it with water and earth.. I made my elemental air wand out of cherry wood. It is also associated with love, romance and emotions as well as healing. In Scotland it is considered a very magical tree. Associated with Venus and Friday.
Can I use deer antlers to make a wand?
You can certainly make a magical tool from antlers but not sure if it would be a wand per se. I've seen antlers used as a handle for an obsidian knife. So I guess I have to think about what my definition of a wand is, or is not. Maybe?
What is the name of the book on wand making that you talked about>
Can we do this with our staph as well if we choose to use it this way...and were could we get real beads thats not fake plastic beads?
I buy gemstone beads from Fire Mountain Gems. They ship everywhere and you can order on-line. I pay attention to what they say about their stock so tend to buy natural and undyed and unheated beads for my wands. A staff can be used in a similar manner. I did a video on my staff that you can check out if you wish.
question, how much frankincense to oil do you use to make that nourishing oil.
I add just enough olive oil to make it paste like. Don't want it to be too thin or thick.
Does anyone know if titanium is a type of material to be used for this purpose? Is rubber and/or silicone a limiter?
Titanium is a non-magnetic metal so it would have different properties energetically than say copper or steel. Doesn't mean you can't use it though. I do not find that glue (rubber/silicone) hampers the energy in the wands that I make. How you feel about it is also a factor.
I've been making wands for two years now and I still struggle with making them "feel" you know like imbueing them with energy my clients like them but they never have feeling for me am I doing something wrong
You're making them for others so maybe if they aren't charged that isn't a problem since the owner charges them up themselves. My wands are from living wood so it already has a spirit in it. Am not sure if you're doing anything wrong...
What does the faerie wand do?
It helps me to connect to the fae realm.
I am sorry if i borred you, but i just like your Wands
I'm not sure what you are referring to. I was not bored by your comment. I just wanted to make sure everyone else could understand what you said, including me! I am not multilingual and I am in awe of those who are!

Guess that depends on the wand?
I hope to be a witchy grandmother there to teach her grandbabies about the mystical world or witchcraft 🥰
Yes! We need more witchy grandmothers!!
I did reacherch but I cant find what wand a maple tree makes TvT
So here is the research that I have on my computer from several book sources.
MAPLE (Acer spp.)
A very hard, pale, fine-grained wood. Although the sugar maple has the highest sugar content in its sap,
all maple species can be tapped to make syrup and sugar, making them a vital resource to early North
American settlers. In north-eastern North America, the annual 'sugaring-off' usually coincides with the
vernal equinox, making it one of the first signs of spring. Maple can bring success and abundance.
Maple- Divination, Love
Maple/Male/Air/Jupiter/Love, prosperity, longevity, unification, divining rods

I thought you could not make your own wand, it must be made by a magic tool maker who can not make tools for him or herself?
The wand is a uniquely personal tool and you certainly can buy one from someone that knows what they are doing (I make wands for sale) but you can make your own which will make it more personal and meaningful. It's the one tool that is doable with little skill. I certainly wouldn't be capable of making my own athame, for example!
