My husband and I just finished taking the pictures of my first four wands, and this is the first of the four. All four of them have unique elements, as you'll see as I go along and post them up.

The rune were set going from the grip to the tip in a specific order, and for the following reasons:

1. EOLH - Protection. When conducting a ritual, the first thing put in place is a sacred circle to protect the castor, so EOLH rune was put first to protect the caster during the ritual.


2. BEORC - The rune of the Great Mother. After drawing a circle, you normally honor the Goddess (and also the God).So the 2nd rune up the rune for the Goddess.


3. URUZ. This is the rune of change, or shaping power that brings about manifestation. So we protect, honor the Goddess, then ask for the change we wish to initiate.


4. EIHAWZ - Very powerful rune of banishing and protection. It also increases power, and helps to remove any obstacles.


5. THURISAZ - this is the directed cosmic power of defense. It also directs the energies of the runes that come before, giving them an extra umph to get things off the ground.

Running from the grip to the top is a spiral that was cut into the birch bark. This also helps to spiral the energy from the caster up to the point. Finally, an Amethyst point is set on the end and hot glued, then wrapped with purple dyed leather wrapping.
