Over the years my practice as a Witch has relied heavly on tools, some traditional like the Chalice, the Athame and the Pentacle, others from my background with native traditions. Strangely, I have never incorporated the Wand as a standard item in my personal ritual process. This is extremely unusual considering the strong influences of the element of Fire on my life. With wands being so associated with Fire one would logically make the assumption that I would have long ago developed an affinity for this magikal tool.

More than a year ago I was visiting my brother and was introduced to a 11 year old in-law of his. During the ensuing adult conversation this young man became aware that I was a Witch. More than a year later upon my return to my brother’s home I was presented with a hand made wand manifested by the hands of this young child. Stunned, honored and overwhelmed with the power of the moment is the best way to describe my reaction. As I held tears back it occurred to me how Magikal moments flow into my life. While I have done many spells, rituals and am well practiced in focusing my intent, it is these moments when Magik “happens to me” that I find most profound.

In this Wand I perceive strong energies of trust, protection, growth and generosity. At least for me, there could be no more powerful magikal tool than one crafted for hours by a child with the intent of making it a gift to someone they barely know. Each time I touch this Wand I am reminded of the power of generosity and the interconnectedness of all humanity.

May the Magik also “Happen to you ” !
