Green Witch Wand

This lovely Green Witch Wand is carved from lightning-struck black maple wood from my parent’s homestead. I’ve carved it with rowan, hawthorn leaves and berries, fern fiddleheads, and a runic symbol for the Earth is carved at the base of the wand above the fiddlehead finial. There is also a snake carved spiraling around the tip of the wand which represents power leaving the wand. This wand is painted with eco-friendly woodstains and polished with a beeswax and almond oil mixture which brings out the natural colour of the black maple wood.

All the plants carved onto this wand have a long history in mythology and folklore of being associated with magic, witchcraft, and the Otherworld. Lightning-struck wood is supposed to be full of powerful magical potency, perfect for a blasting rod or wand used for directing energies - whether the purpose be for healing or to send out a working.

Maple is a wood of healing, love, warmth, and comfort. Rowan is very protective tree used in spells, sorcery, and magical workings for at least a millennia, if not more. Hawthorn or "whitethorn" has long been associated with witches, travelling to the Otherworld or Underworld, as well as healing and protection. Ferns and fiddleheads are used in rain and fertility magic. In folklore fern spores can be rubbed on the eyes in order to see spirits and fairies. The male fern root is a powerful magical charm, and both the fronds and fiddleheads are burned to cause rain. Snakes are an ancient sacred symbol of the mysteries of life, death, and rebirth which is at the heart of the Green Witch's practice as the Earth must die every year so that it may be born anew with life in the Spring.

Size: Traditional wand length of from the inside crook of the elbow to the tip of the index finger -- approximately 16 inches (41cm).
