New Wand

Antique Holly, with Tigers Eye and Natural Quartz Point

18.5 inches/47cm long.

Vintage Holly wand made from a driving whip known to be made, or possibly repaired,  in 1902. I was given this whip and had thought of repairing it. On removing the rotten leather binding for the handle I found it was packed out with newspaper that carried reports from the 2nd Boer War. The handle end retains most of the original shellac textured finish and displays the original aged colour and patina of the wood. The lower end carries an interesting pattern in places where the original shellac lacquer had crazed with time and I have tried to retain this wherever possible.

 

This wand is finished in a semi matt varnish to protect the delicate original finish.

I like this one so much that I was going to keep it for my own use.

Elder with Amethyst Sphere

Elder is well known for its regenerative properties, it can easily regrow damaged branches and roots quickly from any part. It represents the end in the beginning and the beginning in the end. It was considered by some as unlucky as it was the abode of witches, but to others it was the tree of second sight that allowed you to see the faery folk. It was a sacred tree and it was not allowed to be damaged in anyway the druids used it both for spells and curses. It was believed that if you bathed your eyes in the sap of the wood it allowed you to see faeries and witches.

This wand has a double helix on the shaft and a hand carved handle.  The Amethyst Sphere combines its properties of intuition with that of the Quartz, for your use.

Holly with a Quartz Sphere and a Red Silk Binding

Holly is associated with the cycle of death and rebirth representing winter winning over summer. With this symbolism in mind it is good for spells that involve sleep or rest. Because of its bristles and its use in making spears it is closely associated with combat and protection, warding away evil spirits and also signifying the virtues of balance and directness.

The texture of Holly when polished is so smooth you just have to hold it.  The red handle against the white of the wood and the quartz to magnify all energies is stunning.

Yew with Tigers Eye and a Quartz Point

The Yew tree is sometimes regarded as the most sacred tree to the druids with it symbolism of death and rebirth (due to the fact that the outer tree dies and a new tree grows within). It represents transformation & reincarnation and may be used to enhance magical/psychic abilities as well as induce vision.

Holly with Silver Sheen Obsidian and Quartz Point

Holly is associated with the cycle of death and rebirth representing winter winning over summer. With this symbolism in mind it is good for spells that involve sleep or rest. Because of its bristles and its use in making spears it is closely associated with combat and protection, warding away evil spirits and also signifying the virtues of balance and directness.

Combined with the Silver Sheen Obsidian and the silk handle it looks and feels wonderul.  A really balanced piece.

Hornbeam with Blue Goldstone.

Hornbeam is a white wood with attractive flecks and swirls in its grain. It has a beautiful smooth finish often compared to ivory.  Hornbeam was once the main source of very hard wood in Britain, and was available in larger sizes than the equally prized boxwood. Its name originates from its use in oxen yokes (the beam between the horns) which were subjected to considerable wear.

However, your wand will not require such hardwaring properties, but the smooth and ivory like finish will amaze you.  A lovely piece to handle.
