This wand is fully hand carved. I do not use power tools of any form, I feel they disturb the balance of the natural magick of the wood. This wand is carved out of wood of a fallen Aspen branch. I don't conform the wood to a mold but allow the wood to guide me in uncovering it's desired shape and natural beauty. I do not use any stains, dyes or chemical finishes so that the wood is pure and natural. This leaves the wood open to connect directly with the user and able to absorb energy unhindered.

LESSON OF THE ASPEN
from The Wisdom of Trees by Jane Gifford

As the wind passes through the aspen leaves, they whisper a message of peace: listen within yourself and find comfort in the still, small voice of calm; in the music of the spheres; in the resounding "om" of existence; in the voice of Goddess - whatever you chose to call the spirit moving through the silence within us. You can interpret this in whichever way is most personal to you. The aspen teaches the lesson of fearlessness, and gives us the strength to face fear that comes with the unknown. To quote Dr. Bach, aspen helps us to understand that "the power of love stands behind and overcomes all things." Once we know this to be true, "we are beyond pain, suffering, care, worry, and fear, and we become participants of true joy."
