Wands by Tree: Curved Apple Wand with Emerald Charm

Curved Apple Wand with Emerald Charm

A real charmer! Rustic & simple this handmade apple wood wand with a dangle charm of raw natural emerald and copper chain has a hand rubbed finish at 12 3/4" long by about 1/2" around. The projection end and the pommel end have been rounded over, shaped simply for comfort. From growing the wood to the finished product much care is given to the handmade wands that I craft, and all work is done by hand without the use of power tools. I often allow the natural branch form show, rather than making the wood look like turned furniture.

Apple wood is considered to be feminine to begin with but this wand has an extra female feel to me, which could balance a male energy well. She is a true charmer with a smooth texture and curving grip that entices thoughtful stroking when not in active use. Copper and emerald together are known to be powerful enhancers of magick energy as well as providing protection from negative spells. * The copper color will cherry-up with warm color over time if allowed.

Name of Wand: Charmer Apple Wood Wand
Craftsperson: Tree Pruitt
Primary Materials: Apple Wood, North Carolina Emerald
Size: 12 3/4" long by about 1/2" around
Finish: hand smoothed and rubbed with quality museum grade preservation wax.

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. Heat is used to both sanitize and temper cure green wood, which further adds to the strength. 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 always only worked on in a positive environment with a ritual mind-set using the highest quality materials possible for heirloom quality and historic authenticity.

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.
