Tribal Crystal Tipped Magick Wand

Click to enlarge.

This tribal inspired wand began as a bark covered off-shoot of a Silver Maple tree branch. It's a favorite of the wands that I've crafted because of it's almost quirky form and great feel. After having the bark stripped it was oven dried then hand carved. A smokey quartz crystal point was securely mounted into the delicate projection end tip. The crystal was hand collected from Montana and has a very nice natural point. In the wands mid-section rests a tiny smooth amethyst gemstone. The handle portion has an acorn shaped pommel with a carved groove that allows for light charms, ribbon, or feathers to be tied on for added decoration. The entire wand has been hand rubbed with a light black/brown oil paint finish with a buff natural feel.

Though this isn't the best choice of wands to carry in a pocket, it is quite sturdy with a thick handle and spunky attitude.

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.

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 green wood, which further adds to the strength.

This is a one of a kind handmade item by Tree Pruitt. The photographs show different views of the same item. Because they come from Nature no two of my handmade wands can ever be the same.

Metaphysical Ash: The magic influence of the ash tree reaches far back into time, and the properties are numerous. Ash wands or staves are good for healing, general magic, solar magic, to attract lightning, and is used to remove spells or hexes. The ancient World Tree (Yggdrasil) of Norse mythology is commonly thought to have been an ash tree, and the first man formed from the same. Being an herb of the sun, Ash brings light into the hearth at the Winter Solstice.

USES: Ash can be used for healing, all-purpose magic, especially solar magic, to attract lightning, to remove spells or hexes, ward away unwanted ghosts. Ash may also protect from general evil or negative influences and can provide protection from a witch's spell against you. An ash staff, wand, or stick placed over a door is said to ward off negative energy and prevent unwanted ghosts from entering, especially when combined with herbs such as mugwort.

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.

Clear Quartz 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.

 Tibetan Quartz crystals are rare, being hand mined high in the mountains of Tibet and packed down the mountainside manually. They are often used in the preparation of other crystals for metaphysical use. It is a purification quartz, and is used in ceremonies to sanctify (cleanse) a place or person. When worn these crystals are said to aide in centering of the total self in effort to reach higher self. Tibetan crystals are excellent for protection. Just having one close to you puts up an automatic shield against negative energy, and it helps shield you from other people's negative energy. This shield is even stronger if a centering exercise is done while holding a Tibetan Quartz crystal.

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.

What's In A Name American Elm Wood Wand HM109

A new wand to emerge from the metaphysical side of my art studio is a slender American Elm wood, sized at just 10" for easy carry & use. It's named "Iwilldoit" because it has an energy about it that feels ready to get to work -- a git-er-done type thing. It's crafted from an American Elm wood stick that was lovingly pruned, cleaned, shaped & colored with a red-walnut colored faux wood grain created by hand with acrylic paints because dried elm is a rather plain blond in color. The surface was then coated with a clear protective varnish, which also gives the wand a nice buffed shine. The projection end and the pommel end have been rounded over, shaped simply for comfort. The slender form of the wand still fits comfortably in most hand sizes.

 Though the wands official nickname is Iwilldoit, it has expressed even more character. It's possible that my own fondness for this wand stems from its compact size and relative flexibility, which makes it great to carry on-person Harry Potter style. However, when I reached out to ask Spirit for a name for this wand the first, and still strongest, thing that came to mind was "Stanley"! So, I admit that while crafting this wand I mentally referred to it as Stanley along the way rather than Iwilldoit. Personally, I suspect that name derives from the influence of the powerful yet somehow grounded characters of Stan Lee comic books! I'm not stating that this wand is any more of a superhero than another wand, but it certainly feels as if it has a desire to try. So that's what's in this wands name... serious work, but lighthearted play!

My Item #: HM109

Size: 10" inches long.

Shaman Journey Wand



The tip of the wand is shown here.

 A White Oak branch felled by lightning on a Full Moon night inspired the creation of a small series of Native or Druid style wands years ago. This handmade 13" wand is accented with a genuine horse hair tassel to represent the spiritual journey and guide a path. It is topped with a deep purple natural amethyst crystal for the magic of sleep and dreams. Powerful energy of the spiral also comes into play through the coiled wire, and wood burned accents call to the Four Quarters or Four Directions.

 The oak wood had been carefully hand polished for a pleasant feel and attractive look. No power tools were used except for the pyrography burning tool; all work was done by hand. The entire piece took three months to craft overall. This wand is no longer available.

The entire wand is shown here.

The name of this wand: Shaman Journey Wand, #oa3

Main Materials: White Oak wood, amethyst crystal point, horse hair tassel

Length: 13"

  

* 13 Steps to Making this Ceremonial Magick Wand

1. Felled branches were gathered.
2. Branches were cut into lengths and cleaned of bark and small out branches. Cleaning was done with a ceremonial bowline knife that is only used for ritual crafting.
3. The new "naked" wands were spread out on a tray and low temp baked in an old oven to remove bacteria; sterilize.
4. This individual wand was then smoothed down with various grades of sandpaper to remove the chip carving feel of the de-barking process.
5. After examining the wand, inspiration and Spirit took over. A gem stone crystal that matches the form of the end of the wood was selected. It needs to not only fit the physical shape but also the spiritual function of the piece.
6. The wood was carved out by hand using eye measurement to allow the stone to fit as tightly as possible.
7. Once the shapes were right a small amount of very strong glue was added before the pieces were joined together. Making sure the fit is tight, the piece was allowed to dry.
8. After several days drying the glue I swelled the wood around the crystal. Small amounts of water were carefully allowed to soak into the grain of the wood, causing it to swell. I checked the stone to test tightness and go on to another drying. The wand was again baked at a low temp to remove the moisture I added. This causes the wood grains to tighten up more than before; like tempering.
9. The next step was to add decorations with the wood burner and finish off the surface of the wood. Instead of sandpaper this time the wood was smoothed with various pieces of natural sandstone rock.
10. The horse hair tassel was then added. The hair was gathered and secured with a hand weaving, then tacked in place with a small amount of the same strong glue.
11. The piece was varnished with environmentally friendly varnish.
12. At the next Full Moon after varnishing the wire accent was added during a welcoming ceremony.
13. Step thirteen, sacred number to the Goddess, was for the wand to find it's home.

Raven Head Wand Pagan Folk Art Ritual Tool

This wand was carved from Ash Wood in the form of the head and wings of raven for use in Wicca rituals, Pagan ceremony, and/or Shamanic rites. The style was inspired by the early Native American Adena and Hopewell mound builder cultures of North America because I admire the art of these ancient people. I was born near The Great Serpent Mound effigy in Ohio, and I think my Appalachian roots come through in the style of this piece.

The name of this wand: Raven Head Wand, #hm049

Main Materials: White Ash wood, clear crystal point, polished amethyst

Length: 15"

The wood was harvested at the peak of a Full Moon and the wand was finished during a later 2010 New Moon. No power tools were used; All of the work was done by hand using knives, files, and stones to cut and shape the wood. This wand measures 15 inches long and one half inch wide around. The carved bird wings at the pommel end provide a comfortable none slip grip. The projection end is topped with a tiny clear quartz crystal point from the American Southwest. Just past the hand turned lines is a tiny polished amethyst stone embedded in a natural knot of the wood. 

 After carving and smoothing this raven head wand I mixed a black stain that soaked into the wood grain; The surface is much more smooth than it may look in the pictures because of that grain contrast. The hand rubbed oil stain finish is made from high quality art materials to give the entire wand a satin sheen.

 This is a unique one of a kind item is no longer available.

Art of Wandmaking

 One of the great pleasures of the art of wandmaking is to let the self become open to the voices of Nature, entering a trance like state while crafting. At such times guidance from the inner self or Higher Powers can move through the artist emotionally, and a wand design can seem to create itself. It is in fact a communion with the Divine, and such creative acts are seen by some to be a call to service such as is the priesthood or a nunnery of the Christian faith. As artists we cannot be certain if creativity calls us to wand making or if wand making calls forth the creative Muse; The answer matters little for we do the job we are compelled to do with joy!

How I Make Hand Carved Wooden Wands: Each wand and talking stick by artist Tree Pruitt is as individual as the trees that grow from the Earth. No two can ever be the same in color, grain, or Spirit, when the individual character is allowed to emerge. No power tools are used to make wands, except for the electric wood burner for pyrography details. All of the work I do is by hand using knives, files, or stones to cut and shape the wood. 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 authenticity.

My Do's & Don'ts

I Do...

• craft serious tools for serious use in magic and religious ceremony
• make wands of wood with other natural materials
• follow spiritual guidance tempered with knowledge when crafting
• work with hand tools, some are primitive rocks and stones
• craft ritual tools during the Constructive phase of the Moon and only in a positive mind set
• make each wand as its own special creation, a unique work of art never duplicated
• use re-claimed materials; some animal fur may come from vintage or antique clothing, some wand branches may have fallen from the mother tree by wind or rain
• use environmentally friendly varnish on some creations
• clean and heat sterilize away bacteria and insects
• use modern adhesives; my works are inspired by ancient cultures but not intended to represent actual historic "reproductions" (unless otherwise stated in an individual item description) therefore I feel that modern adhesives are fine and very practical to use. 

I Don't....

• harm trees or animals when harvesting materials, (bacteria and small insects are removed when I sterilize the wood)
• make wands as toys or home decor
• use plastic
• craft altar tools when in a negative mood
• mass-produce
• make wands of copper pipes, prefabricated tubes, or hardware store dowel rods
• use machines or turn on a lathe
• take custom orders though special symbols or characters may be added to a wand by request for personalisation (a finished wand must call to an owner as stated in a now Pop Culture phrase ... "the wand chooses the wizard")
• sell used wands... all of my wands are new and have not been previously used
• show in contests, display physically, or let others handle wands... my husband and myself may wave them about to test balance, heft, and energy but we feel that testing them out in actual magick practice would open the bonding process with the wand as if it were our own to keep 

The Thirteen Steps to Making These Ceremonial Magic Wands

1. Felled branches gathered.
2. Branches cut into lengths and cleaned of small out branches. This must be done very carefully to avoid cuttings oneself when working with hand tools. Cleaning was done with a ceremonial bowline knife that is only used for ritual crafting.
3. The new "naked" wands get spread out on a tray and low temp baked in an old oven to remove bacteria; sterilize.
4. Then smoothed down with various grades of sandpaper and/or natural stones.
5. After examining the wand, inspiration and Spirit takes over. A gem stone crystal that matches the form of the end of the wood is selected. It needs to not only fit the physical shape but also the function of the wand.
6. The wood is carved out by hand using eye measurement to allow the stone to fit as tightly as possible.
7. Once the shapes are right a strong glue is added before the pieces joined together. Making sure the fit is tight, the wand is allowed to dry.
8. After several days drying the glue, I swell the wood around the crystal. Small amounts of water are carefully allowed to soak into the grain of the wood, causing it to swell. I check the stone to test tightness and go on to another heat drying. This causes the wood grains to tighten up more than before; like tempering.
9. The next step is to add decoration to the body of the wand.
10. The pommel end is finished. A magic core or tassel may be added.
11. The piece is varnished with environmentally friendly varnish.
12. At the next Full Moon after varnishing the wand is given a welcoming ceremony to mark its finish and cleanse any unwanted energy accumulated during crafting. (see Ritual Tool Cleansing Brew)
13. Step thirteen, sacred number, is for the wand to find a home.

Phoenix Medicine Ash Wood Wand

Named the Phoenix Medicine Wand this compact 10 3/4" x 1/2" ash wood stick features a magical core of ingredients similar to a those found in medicine bags and bundles, as well as other unique aspects. The size and feel of this neoshamanic wand is sturdy; not that it's unbreakable, but it could handle being stuffed into a Harry Potter style pocket for magic on the go.

The wood itself is a specially gathered White Ash (more info). One of the many magical uses for Ash Wood is for working with or warding away lightning, associated with the Phoenix or Thunderbird. The tip is capped with a fine miniature clear quartz crystal point from the American Southwest, set clean and firmly into place. The smoothed back layers of tree bark near the tip create a pattern reminiscent of a red feather, though the overall color is more brown than seen in the photographs. On this end of the wand a gently smoothed knot revealed a natural sacred spiral design in the bark and others similar to eyes or Yoni symbols. The Yoni like marks were created from the claws of fire red Cardinal birds having perched on the living branch, and the tree healed itself.

The pommel end contains the core. Within the natural stem cavity metaphysical ingredients have been placed to attract energy similar to the legendary Phoenix or Thunderbird. The materials include: Red Pheasant feather, a bit of Brown Bear hide, a bit of Red Fox fur, Mugwort herb, White Sage, Rosemary. This core was then sealed with natural paper clay, and the entire wand was lightly coated with a protective gloss varnish.
