How to Use a Magic Wand Tool
The wand is a ritual tool most commonly used by Wiccans, Pagans and other occult practitioners to help direct the flow of energy. Not all practitioners use a wand, but learning how to use a magic wand tool can help a person learn to focus the energies being used. The practitioner can then decide later if continued use of the wand is needed or desired.
- Find or make a wand that suites the needs of the practitioner. The want should be a personal tool. It can be bought or made. Many people prefer to make their own wand from wood. The practitioner should feel very comfortable holding their wand.
- Cleanse the wand. Before attempting any ritual work with a wand, it should be properly cleansed and blessed by the practitioner who will be using it. This can be done in a number of different ways. The most common cleansing includes running the wand slowly through the flame of a white candle or rubbing it down with lemon juice. A blessing is a simple prayer the practitioner says over the tool.
- Hold the wand in the dominant hand. The wand should be comfortable in the person’s grip, and feel like more of an extension of the arm than a tool. This allows the energy of the person to flow more easily from them through the wand.
- Point the wand where the energy is supposed to go. If the practitioner is casting a circle then the wand would be pointed towards the ground as the person slowly walks a circle. Remember the wand is a physical focus for where the energy should go.
- Place the wand in a safe area when it is not in use. This will keep it safe from damage and make it easy to find when it is needed.
