Who's Holding the Wand Lore?

[Ash L.]

IDK if there any wand wavers about the place, but I am somewhat partial to a wand of wood in ritual or natural magical applications and so I ask any present who do wield a wand whether or not it's wooden, would you be willing point the way to whatever wand lore you have found worthwhile?

Cuz, damn. I've rarely come across any content on the topic. Sure this grimoire tells you to use Hazel and cut the wand just before sunrise and that grimoire says put these markings on it after you cut it on the day and hour of Mercury and yadda yadda but try to find a good read about the how to and how come of it all.

Over the years I've put some time into trying to "rediscover" the (I think) lost lore of this tool and I gots me a right purdy neat little method a'goin' but I'd still love to find some traditional instruction on the matter. It surely would only help my cause.

Thanks to any and all with input.

Rod questions

What's up guys. Recently I've been playing with rods alot. I use rods everywhere, at home, outside, in the park. Any chance I get I whip out my rod. I really like rods, but unfortunately all these daily exercises have taken a toll on my favorite rod and it's starting to warp. I was thinking of...

Each wood has its own metaphysical properties, my favorite was just a thin pine with a dip in the tip I placed a copper bb and wrapped copper wire from th ball to the handle. But if you’re using a grimoire you may want to follow their method, or a different type of wood, I know Holly is popular but expensive same as black obsidian wood, which is like 5-7x more expensive than holly. Like a 1inch or 1 1/4inch by 14 inch piece of holly is $5 but the black wood is &20-30 for the same dimensions.
