Imbolg Wand
Items Needed · Length of wood · 1 Rock (Quartz or something that you like) · Hot Glue Gun/Glue or Strong Hold Glue (like Super Glue or Modeling Glue) · Water Paints, marker, knife or wood burning tool · Other Items such as beads, strings, yarn (Whatever catches your fancy to decorate with)
Choose a length of wood. Such as a 12 inch length about the thickness of my finger. When selecting the woo you could use apple for love magick, seven barks for money magick, Elder for fairie magick, oak for nature magick, willow for general magick. You will want a quartz crystal point for the tip - you could use rose quartz on the love wand or amethyst on a wand for spiritual contact and guidance. Gouge a bit of wood out of the tip of the wand to help hold the crystal - glue with high temp hot glue gun or a strong hold glue - let set. Now use glue on bottom sides of crystal and top inch or so of wood, wrap with leather strips or cord or embroidery thread in a color that goes with the purpose of the wand. That helps to secure the crystal. Now wrap the base end of the wand by gluing wood and wrapping with leather or yarn to make a hand hold. Use the same color as on top and cover about 4 inches. You may decorate the shaft of the wand with symbols that relate to the purpose of the wand, such as runes and other symbols that have meaning for you. You can use a knife, waterproof marker, paint, wood burning tool, etc. You could decorate the end of the top yarn with gemstone beads, metal beads, wood beads and tip it with feathers if you like. Cleanse and consecrate as with any tool.
