Mini Apple Wood Healing Wand with Rounded Pommel End For Small Area Massage

Pocket sized mini hand polished apple wood wand with a simple rounded over pommel end is perfect for rites of healing, love, prosperity or fertility, plus goddess worship. The wood was pruned from a very old Granny Smith Apple tree, dried, hand cleaned, then heat treated for sanitation and tempering. The surface of this wand has a smooth hand buffed finish with some protection & shine provided by natural bees wax - 100% natural.

The smooth pommel end of this slender little wand is nice for use in massage of small areas such as on the wrist of the hand and working out knotted muscles.

Apple Wood Wand with Frosted Scepter Crystal Twin and Pentagram

Sturdy apple wood wand with a frosted twin scepter quartz crystal point & a woodburned pentagram design. Use for rites of healing, love, prosperity or fertility and goddess worship. The wood was pruned from a very old Granny Smith Apple tree, dried, hand cleaned, then heat treated for sanitation and tempering. The surface of this wand has a smooth hand buffed finish with some protection & shine provided by quality Renaissance preservation wax. The pommel end tapers at a slight angle with the edges rounded over.

Quartz crystal is known as the stone of power and amplifies any energy or intention. It protects against negativity, attunes to your higher self, and strengthens the aura. A scepter crystal is a rare formation where a crystal point forms around a "shaft" of a crystal, twinning being even more rare. A scepter crystal creates a strong connection between spirit and the "true self" and is often used for healing ceremonies. A twin crystal symbolizes union with the One, and enhances compatibility between individuals, which will aide the energy of the healer to incorporate with a person being healed.

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.
