One of the tools I do use is a wand. Not a store bought wand, but hand made with my energies. I do not know the type of wood it is though. I wanted a wand, and though about taking a walk around the Savannah or something to get a stick. I happened to visit my mother, who had a whole bunch of branches thrown out by her gate. Perfect I though...I have been granted a wish......
Any way, the correct length for a wand is the lenght between your inner elbow and the tip of your middle finger. I cut the length, and scraped the bark off. Next I trimmed the tip to something suitable, and then sanded the wand.
One important step is to oil the wand with an oil that reflects ytour intentions. I used Gingerlily oil, which is for positivity..because thats my focus.....
After the wand is oiled, I painted it with gold and green. Gold is my transformation, the green is the growth. I also inscribed a few Runes just above the handle area.
I am yet to consecrate it.....I await the next full moon.
