I was outside talking to my trees and asked a few of them to donate some stock for wands and this is what they gave me. I thanked them and with gratitude gathered the stock for later use. I gathered Apple, Mulberry, Cypress and Oak. 
I believe I will start on the apple, Apple tree: Healing. Prosperity. Love. Perpetuates youth. as it has the qualities I most want. I like the idea that a wand Asks for the help of the elements or diety instead of Summoning. I prefer the gentler approach when asking for the help of powers greater than I. 
Mulberry will be the next as it also has many of the qualities I seek. Mulberry: Knowledge. Fortune telling. Wisdom. Willpower
Cypress is more in line with the liminal and hedge properties. Cypress: Past lives. Protection.
And oak the old standby Oak: Healing. Strength. Money. Longevity.
This will keep me occupied long past the end of this challenge, but I will keep you updated on the progress

@Shadeweaver Fabulous collection. Your knowledge of trees is awesome.
I like your point
Very important when handling deities, or we may end up like Dean, when the deity reminds us, it didn’t want to be summoned.

My magic wand isn’t a wand at all, but a crochet hook! 
So… stay with me, and I’ll try to explain lol
I don’t use a wand during spells and rituals the way most people do. I hardly ever direct energy that way, and I never cast a circle.
Instead, my crochet hooks are a way I direct energy, just in a different way! When I’m crocheting, I’m transferring my energy into the piece. Sometimes this is just a normal thing that happens when I make something – I put my energy, my thoughts, my love, and my work into it. Other times, this is intentional. The crochet hook becomes a weaver of knot magic, moving the yarn and energy throughout the piece I’m working on.
So, while I don’t have a traditional wand, I do have a crochet hook!

I’m relieved to hear I’m not the only one like this. But now that I’m among many, I feel less like I’m doing things wrong. The circle never felt right to me, for some reason.
You do! And it’s making magic happen, so it’s definitely a potent one.

Ohh i’m soo freaking sorry ! 
I just couldn’t make it this time. I was reading about the ways to crystal wrap a wand, watched a few videos… but then realized i have tiger tail wire (that my very creative sister uses for making her own jewellery! It’s her most favorite hobby just after resin art & she loves doing it and i just loove watching her do it… 
) but i neither had hot glue nor any crystal chips that actually had holes! 
Soo yes, the idea was gone already. But i still had it in my mind to purify my wand, aand… 
i got lost… in Spells8’s spells/ritual videos, herb knowledge, moon meditations & what not ! I swear 'm not lying… When i looked at my phone’s clock… it was 10 pm. 
I was too tired. Also it’s 2 am here, ryt now. Anyways, just wanted to tell y’all that I am doing my magickal wand cleansing , tomorrow, to remove all & any mundane or unwanted blocking energies. I will click a pic & share in the forum tomorrow! 
Okay good night now, from India, to all my lovely friends! Blessed be sweets…

Ooo… wands… I remember early on I had a special ordered crystal wand made up for myself. Each end has a quartz point & then tumbled emerald, amethyst, & pearl. The wamd shaft is made of a purple Italian glass. The solder used is called Silvergleem, made up of 95% tin & 5% silver. Its roughly 6 inches long.
I recently was given, by accident… more handed really a piece of a branch. I had found it in a parking lot area & had been eyeing it. When I saw my son, as he was heading to the car I asked him to bring it to me & told him it was a wand. To which he replied, “Here you go Harry Potter.” As I proceeded to boop everyone that was with us talking. I still have it, it just looks like a wand to me the way it is… so I haven’t really done anything special with it, except keep it as my first wooden wand.
However, overall, I don’t use a wand in my practice. I may use my finger or hands to direct things. Maybe an Athame. I do use things like sewing needles, knitting needles or crochet hooks when making things for my practice… so I suppose those would be types of wands. Actually using a specific wand though, I did try & it just was awkward to me.
I have learned about the Suit of Wands through Spells8 & my Biddy Tarot courses. Which has helped immensely when I read tarot.

Okay he isn’t quite done yet. There’s a crystal to remove, attaching a beautiful what I guess I would call a large crystal chip that comes to a point that I think is the one to go on the other end. I have figured out what herbs are going in, mostly under the snout and how to seal them and a couple of Crystal chips in
Now I just have to do it. I’ve been slowly working with it for probably a year
Ugh now that I see a picture, there’s a little more wire to redo

I use my wand in my practice when I really need a sacred space and make a call! I don’t do it all the time!
Anyway thank you for sharing your practice. I am using my hands a lot as a wand to direct what I want! That’s why I think it’s important to have your nails done in my opinion!
Chinease Sticks make great wands!
Eat good have lots of energy!

Uh oh, I’m in so much trouble. Maybe I should start taking care of them… They’re always all different lengths, shapes, and chipped here or there. 
It’s funny – I’ve been using chopsticks most of my life and never considered they could be wands. That’s one of those “too close to the subject” kind of deals from being part Chinese, I bet. But now I can brag that I have a kitchen drawer absolutely full of wands.
