Finger Tip Elm Wand Crystal Pendants

Crystal Elm Wand Pendant w/ Brass

I've recently finished a group of little wands for use by finger tip that can hang around the neck as jewelry or the wrist to ensure contact. These mini wand pendants were made from ethically harvested American Elm wood branches that were gathered, de-barked, heat treated to clean, cut, shaped, colored, and skillfully topped with a clear Tibetan quartz crystal point to create a mini magic wand suitable to wear as jewelry. Copper, brass, and sterling silver accent the individual pieces.

These wands are unique, and did take some time to craft by hand without the use of power tools; a lot of effort and love has gone into each. At this time only four individual elm wands of this type have been made. They range in length from 2 1/2" to 3 " from wood end to crystal tip.

Handmade Wooden Wands

Welcome! The wood that I craft my wands from is always ethically gathered, such as those that the wind has brought down or that come from general yard maintenance; no trees are ever harmed for harvesting. I do not use power tools; all of the work is done by hand. I only use branches and twigs that are free of disease, and not previously "dead", so that the wood remains strong. Because they come from Nature no two of my handmade wands can ever be the same. All of the spiritual ritual tools that I craft are worked on in a positive environment with a ritual mind-set using the highest quality materials possible for heirloom quality authenticity.

What's A Wand

Choose a wand based upon the feelings inside you; it can be a tool, a partner, and a friend. A magick wand is typically made of wood and is a stick usually no longer than 24" inches. A "stave" is a word used to describe a wand blank -- one that hasn't been crafted yet. In its most basic sense a wand is used to direct energy raised during ceremonial magick and religious ritual. Though usually one continuous piece of wood, wands are crafted from many different types of materials and have different parts.

The tip that points energy out of a wand -- sometimes capped with a crystal -- is the projection end; when directed with intent it projects the energy outward. The other end that is gripped like a handle is known as the pommel. Sometimes the pommel may be capped with a crystal or gemstone too, but the purpose is to hold energy until released by the wielder of the wand. Some wands may have a core of special ingredients or a wrap of copper wire to aide in conducting energy. Wands can be used for many different purposes, and indeed a person might choose to own several, such as having one for healing ceremonies and another for general Circle casting or wands that correspond to holidays. Wands that are not used on a regular basis should be stored in such a way as to protect them from not only dust and debris but also from any ambient energy influences.
