Okay, so I made my own wand........ I really wanted one, and I would like to say that the experience of crafting your own wand is well worth it.Don't get me wrong, there are beautiful wands online, and Kore has just solved my problem of shipping stuff. But I wanted to make my own.
I found a stick...actually the stick found me. I have no idea what kind of wood it is, but it felt right in my hand. I cut it to the right lenght, tip of the middle finger to crook of the elbow. I am partial to the wand more than the Athame. I think I shall make a Staff of Power next.
I oiled my wand with Ginger lily oil- for positivity, and chose green (growth) and Gold(transformation of spirit) for my colours. I have three runes engraved in the wand, but I'll keep those a secret.
It works well in my morning ritual, and the energies feel great. I really like building my own things, I just want to have additional motifs, amulets etc which I would have to search on-line for.
I haven't gotten a robe as yet, partly because even at home I practice in secret. My morning ritual is done at 5:15 - 5:30 when the entire house is still asleep. My mind can focus in the abstract then.
Witchery Blessings, and Magickal Meanderings...
