Choosing Your Wand
When you are choosing a Magic Wand, it is important to trust your own inner wisdom. There are many wonderful Magic Wands, but for a Wand to be the one for you, it must spark a special feeling inside when you look at it or touch it. A Wand must also be crafted with intention and be of high quality.
You are unique, your life experiences and dreams combine to make you an original and special individual. The Wand that is right for you will be one that speaks to the inner you, the Real You . . . . . . that only you know.
The Magic Wand you select will be a companion as well as a powerful metaphysical tool. The first lesson of Magic is learning to trust your own perceptions. Choosing a Magic Wand for a gift or for yourself is the perfect place to start practicing that skill.
Wands can be used for healing, channeling power, and doing spells, but certain Wands are more suited for working with specific elements and energies.
Trust Yourself, your inner knowing will guide you to the right choice if you sit quietly and ask which Wand is best for you at this time in your life's journey.
Multiple Wands ~ Many folks have different Wands they use for different purposes. One Wand may be used for casting circles in group rituals, another may be used only for personal rituals of healing and transformation. Yet another Wand might be used for major spellwork. Other folks may only use one Wand for all these purposes. The choice is a personal one, both ways of working with Wands are fine
Staffs
Like the famous wizards of long ago, the staff has always been a symbol of power and wisdom. Known by its length and character, each staff is unique, like its owner. Staffs can double as wands and walking sticks. Carved with runes or sacred symbols, anointed with oils, or wrapped with ribbons of festive color, each staff can become a unique and personalized tool in any ceremony.
