Steps
- Find a well-grown tree with many branches. (It is traditional to use oak, willow, or ash wood.)
- Ask the tree if you can use one of its branches for a wand. Meditate a while to receive an answer. If you feel guilt, the tree said 'No'. You must find another tree. If not, it said 'Yes'.
- Carefully cut a sturdy branch using a sharp knife called a boline which is a traditional Wiccan ritual tool. Make sure to make a clean, straight cut.
- Thank the tree for its sacrifice. Add an offering such as cornmeal, fruit, or just water.
- Sand off the bark leaves, and stubs to get a smooth surface all around.
- Use a sharp knife to whittle a handle. This can be elaborate designs, or simply a straight line.
- Carve runes into the wand, saying the properties of the rune as you sketch it.
- Add a pointed crystal at the tip, gluing it down using super glue. Quartz works best.
- Glue one of your hairs to the wand's tip to infuse your power in it.
- Now, the rest is optional. Some Wiccans paint their wands, add clay, yarn, or ribbon.
- You can also have it blessed or infuse memories into it during meditation.
Tips
- If you have any pets, add their fur or feathers to the wand, infusing it with the animal's energy.
- Wrap the wand to prevent any damage that can hurt it.
- Blessing the wand after creating it is important. This can be done by sprinkling Blessed water on the wand under the light of a full moon. Then letting it soak in the moonlight for a few hours.
- You can also use a stick already on the ground.
- You have to believe.
- When getting rid of the little stump part, do not use a razor blade.
Warnings
- Be careful to not cut yourself in the process of your carving. Always work away from yourself. This way you are less likely to cut yourself.
