A practical guide to the creation of natural wands for magical
work. From Moses to Merlin to the power of the royal scepter, the
wand has been a key magical device found in nearly every
civilization and esoteric tradition throughout history. The
fundamental purpose of a wand is to act as a spiritual conduit,
harnessing the power of the adept’s intention and channeling it
into manifestation. Exploring the history, lore, and creation of
living wands—those crafted from local natural
materials—fifth-generation Druid Jon G. Hughes presents a
practical guide to the harvesting, crafting, and potentializing of
living wands, as well as rods and staffs. He offers detailed
harvesting advice, explaining the magical actions and meditations
specific to each tree that should accompany crafting work as well
as important influences such as the phases of the moon and the
seasons. He looks in depth at woodlore, explaining the variety of
woods and other botanicals that may be used to craft wands, their
magical and hermetic attributes and virtues, and how these
influence the adept’s intention and magical workings. Trees and
botanicals examined include oak, hawthorn, hazel, birch, apple,
ash, mistletoe, holly, and ivy. The author explores various types
of wands, such as rood, entwined, thorn, and compound, detailing
how each differs in its use and intended outcome. He offers
step-by-step instructions on how to use wands for magical workings
and explains other aspects of wand practice, including cleansing,
intention, potentializing, and how to properly return a wand to
nature after its purpose has been fulfilled. Presenting a complete
guide to crafting and using living wands as well as the history and
lore behind this traditional form of Druidic natural magic, this
book allows you to harness the magical essence of the living
natural resources that surround you, helping you elevate your
manifestations from the mundane to the higher spiritual planes.
