Birch Wiccan wood wand with amethyst point and runes - W4

This is the fourth of my new line of Birch Wands. This wand has a spiral cut in the bark from the grip to the tip, then dots burned in a pattern up the spiral. On the tip an amethyst point is set in with glue, and no wrapping.

It has two runes burned into it.

1. BEORC - The rune of the Great Mother.  Since birch wands were traditionally used to honor the Goddess, I burned this rune to signify the Goddess.



2. EOLH - this rune is used for protection from evil and enemies.  It is also a symbol for the position we stand in to draw down the moon (head up, arms raised), and it helps stengthen luck and life force.   To me, this rune helps empower the wand with energy to draw on the Goddess, and to protect from harm, and banish negativity.

Birch wood wands have been used for getting in touch with the Goddess, and for cleansing and banishing.  I got into a lot of detail about this on my blog, and You can read about it here.

Birch is also used for healing, and was a staple for Native Americans.  So I decided to craft this wand and give it elements that would aid someone working on either healing, banishing, cleansing, or honoring the Goddess rituals.

Running from the grip to the top is a spiral that was cut into the birch bark.  This also helps to spiral the energy from the caster up to the point.  Finally, an Amethyst point is set on the end and hot glued.

The construction of the wand, the runes, and the Amethyst point make this wand a powerful aid to any Wiccan and their magickal workings.  It is aprox. 13" long, making this a short wand.  It also comes with a plain undyed muslin bag that is open at one end, and tied with a simple hemp cord.

While making this wand, I concentrated magickal energy on it througout the process.  As I burned each rune, I concentrated on that Rune, and flowing the energy it represents into the wand.  It was then blessed with salted water, and passed through ritual incense to concrate it using the four elements. 

Blessed Be,
