Forked Spiny Hawthorn Wand (For Sale)

This wand was created using the bifurcated limb of a propitiated Hawthorn tree. It measures approximately 28 inches/72 centimeters in length and approximately 3.5 inches/9 centimeters at its widest point. It bears seven long spines, and so it must be handled with care.

After being debarked and dried, the surface of the wood was carefully smoothed, making sure to preserve the thorns present on the wood while rendering the surface sleek. It was then stained using a pigment of Ochre and Walnut Shells and polished with a ritually enlivened oil of empowerment, before being sealed the with a traditional wood varnish made from an array of precious and potent arboreal resins, such as Amber, Storax, and Dragon's Blood.

This lovingly crafted implement, granted by the Whitethorn Spirit herself, eagerly awaits its wielding partner. It is priced at $89 + shipping, so if you're interested in acquiring it, then feel free to either message me here or purchase it directly from my shop.

I have no idea who came up with this but thanks.

I haven’t been using it to encode writing, I’ve actually been using it with my wand during rituals. After creating a magic word I translate it into a series of “strokes” that I can then act out with my wand. It’s been pretty effective so far. I just got a beautiful wand for christmas but I’m always at a loss for what I’m actually supposed to do with it lmao, so this has been really helpful.

The Magick Staff

My own personal staff.

In magickal traditions, the staff is one of the most iconic tools, representing authority, connection to the earth, spiritual power, and the channeling of energy. Often associated with wizards, shamans, and wise figures in folklore, the staff is a powerful tool that amplifies and focuses the practitioner’s intentions. It is more than just a physical object; it is imbued with deep symbolism and magickal meaning.

Symbolism of the Staff in Magick

Connection to the Earth:

• The staff often symbolizes grounding and is a tool that connects the witch, mage, or practitioner to the energy of the Earth. Its long length allows it to metaphorically "anchor" the user, bringing them into alignment with the natural flow of energy and the stability of the Earth.

��� It’s said to bridge the physical and spiritual worlds, acting as a conduit between them.

Power and Authority:

• Historically, the staff was a symbol of authority, often held by kings, shamans, and religious figures. In magick, this represents a practitioner’s power to wield and control magick. It symbolizes mastery over energy and forces, allowing the practitioner to act with command.

• It’s not just about control, but also responsibility in wielding power.

Channeling Energy:

• The staff is used to direct and amplify the energy raised in a spell or ritual. Whether it is used to draw down power from the cosmos or to channel energy from the earth, the staff serves as a tool of focus, helping the practitioner direct their will in the desired manner.

Balance and Duality:

• The staff can represent the balance between the masculine and feminine energies. Its upright form is associated with masculine power (yang), but when the practitioner uses it in rituals, the energy may be balanced with the feminine energy (yin), especially when used in conjunction with other tools like a chalice or athame.

Spiritual Growth:

• In many traditions, the staff is also seen as a tool of spiritual progression, representing a journey of ascension and enlightenment. The staff may be used in rituals meant to guide the practitioner through phases of spiritual growth or in invoking higher spiritual entities.

Practical Uses of the Staff in Magick

Focus and Direction:

• The staff serves as a focal point for directing your energy during rituals. By pointing the staff in a certain direction or drawing sigils in the air with it, the practitioner focuses and amplifies the energy they are channeling.

• For example, in circle casting, the staff can be used to mark the boundaries of the magickal space or to direct the energy of the circle’s creation.

Ritual and Ceremony:

• In ceremonial magick, the staff is often used to summon, direct, or banish spirits, deities, and energies. For example, a practitioner may use the staff in a ritual of invocation to connect with a deity, using the staff as a magickal link.

• The staff can also be used to open or close portals, creating a safe, protective boundary for work with the other realms.

Divination and Meditation:

• The staff can act as a tool for divination. When used in meditation, it may help focus the practitioner’s intent to receive visions or messages from the spirit world.

• Many practitioners use a staff to help enter altered states of consciousness in order to communicate with spirits, ancestors, or higher selves.

Healing and Protection:

• In healing rituals, the staff can act as a channel to direct healing energy from the earth or higher planes into the recipient. It can also be used to clear negative energy or block harmful entities by pointing it at the afflicted area or person.

• The staff is also used in protective rituals, either as a tool to create protective boundaries or to invoke protective spirits.

Astral Travel and Pathworking:

• Some witches and magicians use the staff as an anchor during astral projection or pathworking. By holding the staff during these practices, the practitioner may feel more grounded and able to direct their journey through the astral planes.

Creating Sacred Space:

• During rituals, the staff can be used to draw sacred symbols on the ground or to create sacred space by marking the perimeter of the working area. This is often used to consecrate the space or to set boundaries for the work being done.

How to Craft Your Own Magickal Staff

Material Selection:

• Traditionally, the staff is made from wood (often oak, ash, or hazel) because wood is seen as a natural conductor of energy. However, you can choose the material that resonates with your energy or intention. For instance, you might choose crystal-studded staffs for heightened spiritual connection or iron or copper for specific types of energy channeling.

Personalization:

• A staff is a deeply personal object. Add carvings, runes, or symbols that resonate with your magickal practice. You may want to carve your personal sigil, protective symbols, or representations of your spiritual guides or totems. You could also affix crystals and stones to the staff, or adorn it with talismans or charms.

Charging the Staff:

• After crafting or acquiring your staff, charge it with your intent. Hold it in your hands, close your eyes, and focus on imbuing it with your power, energy, and intentions. You can also use rituals such as blood offerings, blessings, or sacred fire to activate its full potential.

Caring for Your Staff:

• A staff is an object of deep importance in magickal practice. Treat it with respect, keep it in a safe, clean place, and use it regularly in rituals to strengthen your connection to it.

The staff is a deeply symbolic and powerful tool in magick, acting as both a focal point for energy and a magickal conduit. It empowers the practitioner to harness their will, ground their energy, and connect with the spiritual realms. Whether for protection, healing, or invoking power, the staff can help you channel your intentions with great precision.

When will you have kids with your FS?

Hello, I hope everyone had an amazing week! Let's welcome new energy into our lives. Now this collective reading was difficult to interpret but I found it fun to answer. I generally only post readings that I think people will find fun. Anyway, Tier's 2 reading will be coming out by this week and I will be asking for another question for their monthly personal readings! Guys I lowkey have baby fever too, send help because I can't have a child nor do I have money for a baby. But imagining their little kicks is so cute.

Book a reading with me for a detailed reading! There is currently a 25% discount running and the most popular tarot reading, "Full NSFW TAROT READING" has the most reviews.

Pile 1

The Cosmic Slumber Tarot: Queen of Cups, Ten of Swords, Temperance, Princess of Pentacles, and The Hanged One

Tarot of Sexual Magic: 5 of Chalices, The Chariot, 4 of Chalices, King of Pentacles, The Moon, and (Bonus card that flew out) Knight of Wands

This will happen when you feel emotionally ready, you both will discuss things and have previously had conversations surrounding children. You both agreed that you both would want to have children at a time when you both are emotionally available and stable. This will happen after a long time together, and it’s definitely after marriage.

There was a point in your life when you went through childhood neglect or pains that prevented you from seeking out a new mindset/life. This took a lot of hard work and introspection on your part, it definitely feels like “I need to be perfect before I become a parent”. You may have been stuck in old ways of thinking but eventually were able to understand that you cannot be perfect.

Now, I do see that you will discuss your values and how you want your children to grow up. You both will be fair and balanced. I am seeing you both seeking out some books and parental classes together. You both will focus on understanding what it means to be a parent, and I do see this can take up a lot of your time from other hobbies that you may have been venturing into during this time period of your life.

You are at the point in your life where you have money and will continue to grow money. I do sense that your partnership will be about creating wealth and creating things in general. This doesn’t mean that you are poor but the majority will not be loaded with billions of dollars. It feels like some of you who choose this pile can grow to be very rich after you have a baby. For some people who will be carrying the child in their wombs, you will want to be chilling and not doing anything extreme. So you both will make plans and have more than enough money and resources for this to occur.

Overall, you both will have a different outlook on life. You both had precious thoughts that may have gotten in the way of having children despite wanting children. It will be a beautiful moment to notice the little things in life and take joy in everyday life.

Pile 2

The Cosmic Slumber Tarot: Nine of Pentacles, Three of Pentacles, The Fool, The Hermit, and Seven of Torches

Tarot of Sexual Magic: Knave of Wands, 8 of Wands, 6 of Wands, Queen of Chalices, and 3 of Wands

You both have high incomes together, you will be at a financially advantageous time. There is stability in the earnings you make. I heard “high yield…” so you can have something in which you are investing and it will become successful over time. You both enjoy the amount of financial freedom you both have.

You both will be collaborative, so there will be a lot of exciting plans for having a child. You both will be eager to make things happen. There can be early talks of where the nursery room is going to be, and what it’s going to be like. You both will also make cute trinkets for your newborn despite no one being pregnant yet haha.

Although, you will feel overjoyed having a child. There is this sense of not understanding the full responsibilities of parenthood, it will be a whole separate journey of itself. This will be a path where you don’t know what's coming next and this can make you feel like you don’t fully understand the meaning of being a parent. Make sure to do research even if you have “baby fever”, it’s important to be informed and educated.

At times you will feel unsure, and even guilty of your naivety from the past. There was a sense of following your intuition but also looking back and seeing that you weren’t prepared for everything to come. Things will be hectic, and your life will become stressful. A period of uncertainty will come to you, you will spend time reflecting.

Overall, you both should focus on understanding your traumas. You need to look at things through different lenses because your child can resent you if you are not listening to them. Things can end badly because of your lack of parenting skills, for some, it’s a matter of not being closed off and letting these old habits go. There is some of you who will need to set boundaries with your partner if you feel like they are pressuring you because that is not ok.

Pile 3

The Cosmic Slumber Tarot: Queen of Cups, Eight of Torches, Princess of Cups, Nine of Swords, and Wheel of Fortune

Tarot of Sexual Magic: Knave of Pentacles, Knight of Wands, 8 of Chalices, 3 of Wands, and 6 of Swords

This will be a time when you feel like your heart is open. After many years, your heart is ready to be emotionally involved with your children. You and your partner will experience joy in coming to a point in the relationship where you are taking it to the next step. You both will be committed to making things happen and doing things the right way by your own standards.

This may be something that you both have discussed over time, you both wanted children and were waiting for the right time. When you do make plans to have children, it will be fast. You both have a lot of trust, so that’s why this was able to occur fast. Due to having multiple prior discussions, you know you both are ready for this new beginning.

You both will spend some time thinking about the names, your cultural upbringings, and the values you want to teach your children. You both are peaceful people, so I do sense that you both will pour out your hearts and full devotion. There are a lot of times when you both will envision what your life with your child is like. You may even dream about your child with your FS haha.

However, you will be anxious about having a child and I think this is the fear surrounding childbirth. You may express a lot of stressed-out moments when you feel triggered but this is your thoughts consuming you. It will be important for you to stay grounded and focus on uplifting yourself rather than putting yourself down.

Having a child for both of you will have a positive impact on your life. There will be many good changes that will occur, for some of you, you are “fated” to have children. Maybe this is in your astrology chart and it can give you insights into your future children. There will be many adventurous days and you both will support each other thoroughly.

Lughnasadh (sometimes written Lughnasa or Lúnasa) is a festival originating from Ireland that celebrates the start of the harvest season.

It is traditionally celebrated on August 1st (in the northern hemisphere) or halfway between the summer solstice and the fall equinox.

The festival is named for the Irish God Lugh and it is said that the festival started as a funeral feast and athletic competition to honor his mother or foster-mother Tailtiu who had died of exhaustion after clearing the plains of Ireland for agriculture.

✨ Spell Oils 101 ✨

Spell oils are probably one of my most used tools & most popular items in the shop i own. I wanted to do a quick dive for folks who are new to them and how to use them in your practice. 🖤

What are they..? Spell oils are tools for spellwork. In simple terms they’re ritually made herbal infusions in a carrier oils (sometimes with fragrance added) with a specific intended energy behind them. Every practitioner who makes them has their own process for how exactly they’re done. You can then use the oil in your day-to-day as well as rituals as energetic boosts. Theyre used to make your spells more “potent” by adding in another layer that matches your intention. Just like you would add crystals, candles, herbs or other magical items into a spell. They’re an additional layer to your magic.

How do I use them..? The best thing about oils is there are endless possibilities. As far as your creativity lets you roam. Most commonly they are used to anoint candles, added to spell jars & ritual baths, mixed with herbs, used to enchant items, put directly on the skin, added to your hair/lotions, used on your hands or objects before a working, given as offerings, etc. I know witches who use them on their vails and clothing, or add it to their hair dye. Others will enchant items to be used in rituals or carried in their day-to-day. Unfortunately Instagram won’t let me post a massive list of all the ways to use them, but hopefully this gives you some insight.

Some practitioners make oils with incredibly specific intentions, but even within that energy you can use them for many kinds of workings. A specialized domination oil can sometimes be perfect in a money working for a new job. Mixing different kinds of oils is always a beautiful way to layer the energy needed for your working too! You’re a witch- go crazy with what feels right. ✨

Hopefully this gives you guys some ideas for how to use your oils. If you’re interested in try out ours, we currently have 18 different options on our website linked here. 👻

The newest addition to my Altar.

I have been looking for a hand bell to add to my repertoire of tools for a very long time. I finally came across this vintage bell for sale online recently. It just arrived the other day.

For those of you who do not know, bells have been used across many spiritual practices and in many cultures since the beginning of time. In fact it may be one of the oldest original tools to be used in the practice of witchcraft.

Often bells are used as a ward to dispel and discourage the presence of evil spirits, and to encourage the presence of positive spirits. This practice was notably used in the protection of livestock. Bells were often hung around the neck of large animals like alpaca, oxen, and many other animals. We commonly associate this practice with smaller animals like cats and dogs, however this stems from the ancient traditions designed to protect something or someone we care about.

There are many, many, many,....... examples of these funeral bells, and church bells in general are another. Different bells of different tones are also used in the practice of Necromancy and many other art forms. Most often when you encounter a bell such as the one above it is most likely being used to mark the end of a ceremony.

Regardless, I finally have acquired my own, and wanted to share with everyone. This one is about 8" tall and 3" wide at the bottom of the bell. Fully cast in bronze and it rings in a high crisp register with a following bass register. The handle is that of a vajra, a legendary ritualistic tool that symbolizes indestructibility and an irresistible force. This kind of tool is perfect for exorcism, as well as to ward off evil or unwanted spirits.

Cernunnos Devotional Beads (SOLD)

This set of unique devotional beads was ritually crafted and consecrated in the name of Cernunnos—Horned God of Celtic antiquity.

It was constructed from beads of Moss Agate (a stone strongly associated with the Wilderness), along with counter beads of scavenged Serpent Vertebrae (serpents being a greatly sacred animal to Cernunnos), which are bracketed with small beads of Jasperized Wood (beautifully embodying an amalgam of botanical and chthonic virtues.) On one end of the garland is secured an Arrowhead Pendant, hand-carved from Stag Antler (a potent token of his roles as Horned Lord and Master of the Wild Hunt). On the other end is secured a hand-forged Steel Pendant (chosen for the magical potency of/ancient reverence for Iron, as well as the piece's resemblance to both a coiled serpent and the coiled germ of a seedling preparing to sprout.) Once the Garland was constructed, the piece was hallowed in a sylvan ritual beneath the light of a Penumbral Lunar Eclipse.

This piece measures approximately 23.5 inches/60 centimeters long, and all connecting rings and pins are made from stainless steel. If interested in acquiring it or inquiring about it, please feel free to reach out here. It can also be purchased directly through my shop, Wending Wares.

Happy holidays to all who celebrate! I received a beautiful tarot deck for Christmas that I’ve now used 3 times 🙃

The first night, I looked through each card to see what spoke / stood out to me. I did a tarot interview spread (seen above) to get to know my deck a little, and slept with it under my pillow that night. Today, I did a smoke cleansing of myself and my deck and used it twice and. I. love it so much already :))

It’s lowkey already called me out and I’m very grateful for this wonderful deck and my amazing parents for generously gifting it to me :)

I’m also still quite new to tarot (I’m a runes guy usually), so if anyone has input for interpreting this spread (or tips/advice for tarot in general!!), I am all ears 🙃

For those who’ve celebrated/are celebrating any holiday, I’d love to hear about if you’ve received any spiritual gifts as well :)
