Harry Potter Film Creates New Fascination In All Things Magic... Again!

Reading all about the new Harry Potter film and all the dressing up and mimicry, I presume that another new crowd of fans will take to the magic world with gusto. It makes me wonder (wand-er?) if the demand for new wands will follow this excitement.

Magic Wands from Magic Wood

2008-12-15T16:12:00.014Z

Our Witch Hazel Wands are made from contorted hazel boughs and branches. Hazel wood has long been known to be a magic wood in these parts and is one of the sacred trees of Wicca Witchcraft. Our wands are made from wood which has an urge to bend and curl as it grows and is distinctive by it's dark reddy~brown bark and white~ish wood under.

It makes a perfect wood to carve and whittle.

Hazel Wands have often been found amongst the traditional burial symols of the ancient British chiefs and rulers. It was a symbol of power and sometimes magical ability.

Even earlier Mercury (Roman) or Hermes (the Greek counterpart), the messenger of the gods was often seen with a wand of Hazel (his "Caduceus") which had many powers one of which was to turn anything to gold!

Hazel has been considered magical possibly by it's asociation with its powers of divination ~ usually finding water but also gems and precious metals, treasure, thieves and even murderers!

The way to cut a wand was to find a tree that has yet to bare fruit and at sunrise on a Wednesday (Mercury's day as in french Mercredi) and cut a branch with a single stroke from a sickle. We try to cut all our wood for our Witch Hazel Wands on a Wednesday!
