Wands

Wands are useful; it’s not hard to make a simple one and is easily recognizable. They are used amongst those who use it not only for ritual and magic, but can be used to play games.


There are many kinds of wood out there to choose from and all with magical properties of their own, this is why it is important to pick carefully of the type of wood you are to use when making a wand. But also take note of the trees in your local area, if you just happen to be after a certain kind of wood there might just be a tree with the wood you are after. Maybe instead of finding the tree with the type of wood you are after there could be a certain kind of tree or trees with wood that has similar properties but you may find more useful, so make sure to do some studying before choosing.

I personally have two wands of my own, although not often used. One is made of eucalyptus and its elemental association, from what I have heard, varies from who you ask. I have heard eucalyptus’ elemental association being earth, air and water but it seems to be agreed upon that eucalyptus is not associated with fire. It is said eucalyptus wood is great for healing but it also serves for good protection. I have also heard keeping a small branch of a eucalyptus tree indoors serves for promoting good health, promotes good luck when worn as a charm and makes a great divination tool.

The other wood I have used for a wand is made of oak. Oak, elemental wise, is said to be of earth and/or water. Oak has strength and it is durable with its endurance. Oak has the power of protection and healing, like eucalyptus, but also wisdom.
