Wands

Some special items that I have created include Crystal & Driftwood or Crystal and Tasmanian Oak Wands as well as wands with a combination of gemstones and clay. 
A wand is a tool with tremendous legendary significance as a source of power and magic. From ancient religious rites to many modern ceremonial practices, wands are used to signify a wielder of power.
Many modern shamanic and esoteric practices include the use of a ritual wand. The wand is an instrument of invocation of spirits and serves primarily to direct spiritual energy. The wand dates back to prehistoric times. Some of the first depictions of a wand come from Egypt. 

Although you can purchase a wand from an artist like myself, there's something very special about making your own wand as well. A wand is typically made from wood. Depending on what energies you want to associate with your wand will depend on which wood you choose. There have many different types to choose from. Oak and Ash are the most commonly used on the pagan paths, because of the spiritual reference to these two trees. But white pine, maple and apple are also popular choices.

The wand has been used for centuries by witches to help them create their magic it is a precious tool and an integral part of a witch’s bag of tricks, the wand was and is used for healing as well as spells and magic, it can be used to charge a plant or herb with special powers of healing, it works especially well with Bach flower remedies. The wand is used by the witch pointing the wand and directing the energy, often using silent word spells to empower the wand.

Mirrors

The symbolism of a mirror: It is symbolic of the Moon, for as the Moon reflects the Sun's light, as is the mirror an object of reflection. As it is a lunar symbol, the mirrors used in magic through the ages were generally round.

​I found this in an old book which inspired the creation of this mirror, it read:
For Guidance from the Sister Moon "With a round mirror large enough to hold in your hand.. go out on a cool, clear night when the full Moon rides at Her peak in the sky. Sit comfortably and catch the Moon's reflections in the mirror and say: 
Mirror of Moonlight 
Mirror of Glass,
Allow me to see 
What e'er shall pass.
Lady Luna on this night
Oracle of Lunar light,
Send me now the second sight.

Mirrors were also used in divination.
Mirror scrying is an evolved form of water scrying. When it became possible to build mirrors they were regarded as being like water that was fixed into one place.

The early mirrors were made of polished copper, brass, marcasite, tin foil or mercury behind glass, polished silver and obsidian.

Sculptured Art

Every so often, I feel the need to create something bigger, bolder and just let the creativity flow from me. I love incorporating wood into these larger projects. Again, it is a celebration of the medicine of the earth
