I woodturn Harry Potter style wands. And for years I had my own that I used for literally everything. It was my only magickal tool besides myself, incense and candles. When I moved from NC to CO, my wand started to feel off and not too long after that it broke. And no matter how many times I tried repairing it, it just petered out on me. I eventually laid it to rest, in respect to its decisions. Not too long after that, the lilac bush that is on my in-laws property , with who I now live, synchronistically shed a branch the perfect length and width for a wand. And now several years later, it is one of the most awe inspiring and meaningful tools that I use. I can't say own because I don't believe that it belongs to me per se as it is its own being to me. And even though it isn't this polished and perfected aesthetic like a woodturned wand, and it is a natural shape with bark and all, it still is one of the most beautiful experiences that I get to continuously have!!

My wand is made out of the branch of a Poplar tree that was growing in the back yard of the house I grew up in. We had three of them and had the prettiest leaves and had the best shade. EDIT: I did some, not a lot but some research and the Poplar tree is for grounding, security and resiliency.

I actually tried my hand at making a wand about a week ago. This video is right on time cuz I was getting ready to make another. Thank you for the ideas.

Another one of those interesting videos where you can let your imagination run wild if you plan to make the tool yourself. Personally, I like such things even more, because they contain my energy...they have my stamp and are the way I want them. Thank you Mannun!😉💚

I agree! I love putting little charms or runes on my own tools and wands or staves are just perfect for making it all just the way you like, and to add whatever intentions or little additives to give it extra power or abilities :)

I found the best wand ever. I was walking, as I do a lot, in my neighborhood park. There was a small branch that fell from a tree. I'll be honest in that I don't know what tree it fell from. But that little twig has brought me joy. We can all can find magic and joy everywhere if we all stop and look. Big hugs and stay safe. 😀

It’s all about finding what feels right to you, the wand chooses the wizard, as foretold in the Harry Potter movies. That’s actually super true. I had wanted an Oak staff for so long for strength and inner power, but in the dark of night, I ended up getting a Blackthorn instead, which I did not know I needed more than Oak, it chose me for a reason. I believe that reason is to protect me and my fiancé while the world’s energies shift dramatically and bring uncertainty. Blackthorn is good for transforming negative energy or situations into good ones, it simply challenges the wielder to do so while protecting them from harm.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Blessed be. ❤🙏

Thank you for your great video 😘 Blessed be

So needed this video! I recieved this winter a wand from a particular water spirit of a natural spring i vist. Im not sure what type of tree it is but i found it at one of the smaller mouths of the spring after giving offering and collecting water. When you said it usually matches the measurement of the nook of my arm to the tip of my middle finger, it was an exact match! Idk why im so surprised lol. But when i received it and held it in my hand i knew it was a wand and a gift. So i cleaned it there in the spring, using the sandstone rocks to sand the decade bark from it. It is now a beautiful driftwood wand. And because of this video i plan to incorporate into more of my craft.

Did I miss the live? Hope all is well y'alls way up there!! Sarasota sunshine 🌞🌞 y'alls way!! I planted ALL Day an I NOW feel better!! My daughter spent her time cutting us a few nice wand's frm a limb that fell with the last hurricane, good n seasoned 💯💯🌻🌻🌞🌞🌛🌝🌜💜🌴🌴💜

Congratulations on making your 101st episode on your KZread page.

Thank you Hon, I enjoyed that.

The wands were chopstick shaped which I like very much.

Oh, I do love me a wand, stave, rod all kinds of talismans and charms.. My current wand project started with a broken arrow my cousin gave me, the head was missing plus one of the feather deals was missing as well. Tnis is kinda key to my whole practice, everything I use to make something was discarded, abandoned, usually broken. What I offer them is what I seek for myself, healing, transformation, appreciation. All the peoples , animate and otherwise, will usually react well to the idea. So with the arrow I had context to give me a head start, obviously a display piece but the broken bits told me it probably had a chance to fly but in doing so lost tts guidance and its very point. I have this thing about honoring tauma, bit takes so much, so I advise taking as much from it as possible - So the broken arrow, in becoming a wad, gained armor in place of a weapon, an aluminum tube specifically so still not adding much weight, the copper wire did that but I wove a lattice so it was evenly distributed, the lattice also held an interesting piece of glass in place, Id picked it up weeks before because the shape looked like would fit somewhere, which ya, then at last a new third feather but taken from my yard , which I place between the other two feathers opposite the side of the other third. So now we had and anchor made of a feather that established a new connection and even a new orientation and concept of directional!y. Oh, I oiled tbe wood as well, then of course went to greet the moon, test out the new everything, lemme tell ya, great success on this one, the kid can dance! It really is amazing how much joy im able to derive just from dancing them along my fingers, excellent sencse for tbe various forces as well. Ah, and sol many more bjt ] being advisedtnaZZZZzzzzzzz.....(!) thanks for another excellent video!

I love wands! I have one clear quartz wand that’s like a universal/other use wand and different crystal wands I use for specific workings I find myself doing often (protection/prosperity/healing etc)

Mine is hawthorn wood, with crow feather core, clear quartz crystal for pommel, celtic knot ring, and wrapped around in copper in place where the vine once was. Varnished in gunstock varnish from Minwax.

I look forward to your videos.

I'd love to have a wand made of "sinuko-ang kahoy" . Blessed be 🙏

Just received a Blackthorn as a staff base, and I’m utilizing it for powerful protections against evil people and spirits, especially those who wish to harm me or my fiancé :)

Keep up the great work.

I will say out of all my tools my most used is my wand , I carry it every where I go where I may stop and meditate on things to protective Magick I keep my wand always with me

I made one from a random twig I found at a park. could be Ork or cypress.. I use that one the most. I have one from my long stem rose bush. I have few crystal ones from monthly boxes.

Having hundreds of acres of forest right by my place and with weather turning good, I’ll be able to make a trip out there to find a stick to put this to use

If anyone who comes into my place I can easily say that my staffs are my walking sticks and my wands are chopsticks that I eat with and no one will be the wiser for it.

I made myself a wand and a short staff.

That Barsom thing from the Middle East may have helped me make sense of what the Witka, or male priest, in Nordic & Germanic folklore would have used. Makes sense, now, why the broomstick would be called a Besom & I guess it would have been made of Rowan wood. Possibly also Elder wood, so you get the associations with both Odin & Freya in there. Also makes sense why the Distaves of the Volva would he preserved in the archaeological record, but not the staves attested to of the Vitka, if theirs were essentially just a bundle of magic sticks.

Same here. No notification- the video was just there. Oh well. Fabulous video as always. I love your videos that get into the historical aspects of various religions and cultures for the tools we use. Well, looks like someone from Florida is getting used to the New England weather- Mr. out in a t-shirt with snow on the ground! 😉👍 I use woodburning as well (although my lines are not as clean as yours- yet). The wand looks great. Natural beauty always seems more personal and magical. Thanks, Mannun. Blessings

I inherited a walking stick from my father when he passed away. It was the one he was given when he was a teenager in Japan when he climbed Mt. Fuji. It is branded withs mark signifying each checkpoint he made it to during his hike. My question is, given the fact that I hold it dear to me, could that be used as a stave?

Heirloom items such as walking sticks and even granny's wooden cooking spoon used over forty years makes the best staves and wands. Since your father walking stick came from a different land mass, it can be used as a focus item to call Shinto Japanese land spirits easier. Side note, as teenager and in my early twenties during 1990's to 2005, I tried building a Shinto garden in US illinois, the local fairies wreak the gardens multiple times by sending deer to stomp the plants and push over the stack stones, with coyotes & raccoons digging up all the plants. I lost out in a few hundred dollars in plants and minor statues being broken. Since the walking stick is your father's, don't be surprise doing trance/dream work your father shows up or any other people your father travel with on his hike up Mt. Fuji.

My staffs are broom handled shaped which I also like very much.

Hey you said my name haha I am Sabrina . And I did used to watch that show as a kid .

Great video man informative - well spoken! Just stumbled upon your channel - subscribing now!! Like how you left the bark on the wand I made my fist wand out fo Beech trimmed off the bark - hollowed out the tip and added quartz to it, etc etc - I used linseed oil to help keep it from drying out. Side note - I like how you pointed out you found a recently fallen branch - that was alive as opposed to just a dead piece of wood. (don think it matters if its a stave) Most traditions I'm familiar with you need a "live" branch - if you must cut from a tree you need to "ask" the tree and should then leave some sort of offering ( food for the critters) - If I may - two books I'd recommend - "The ancient magick of trees" by Gregory Brewer and "Tree Magick" by Sandra Kynes.

I actually talk about leaving offerings in other videos if you do cut from a tree. It's a great practice. For instance in this video where I talk about and make a besom. kzread.info/dash/bejne/pZqDztBrj5a5c9o.html

Mine is from a Elder branch that fell . I have 7 Elders and 16 Red and White Oaks on my farm.

I have a wand make of a branch that grow out of a tree out of a grave and fertilize it

I have two or three staves and several wands. I use chopsticks as my wands, and my staves are made from old broom handles or mop handles.

Thank you Mannun for your KZread video today that you did regarding wands and staves however I think that you needed to put more information about the staff in your video like how to measure out the staff like you did the wand and how to make a staff like you did the wand. You did great by showing pictures of staffs and wands however I would have loved to seen you make a staff too.

@WitchNTheWorking

Жыл бұрын

That's because in order to do a staff you simply do the same thing as the wand..... They are literally the same thing except for one is a little bigger. There is no specific measurement for the staff.

One of the staffs is made out of medal and out of wood. I recently started gathering my tools to expand my practice within the craft.

My poison is decaf coffee❤😊

I saw a few wands that I can get from the grocery store if they are still there but I will need to wait to get them when I have the space and the extra money to get them. They called to me with their beauty and symbols upon black which made them so beautiful to me. However I didn't have the money to get them when I first saw them.

However, right now, my wands and staves are in my storage unit for now.

I come from a family that is very much Abrahamic. And if they visit me in my home in the future I can easily say something that can explain why I have these things in my home. Such as my staffs and wands.
