Handcrafted Ritual Wands
At By Leaf & Wand, we only use offered woods found locally in the northeast Florida woodlands to craft these beautiful wands. I will never cut wood from a tree. Local woods include Red Maple, Laurel Oak, Live Oak, Pine, Magnolia and others.
We carefully inspect each piece to ensure there is no rot or insect damage and that it has a natural character that calls to my creative muse. The natural elements of the wood are left intact as much as possible. Knots, twists and curves are worked and enhanced, leaving each wand completely unique in shape and size. I use no chemicals in treating the wood, only oil to prevent the wood from drying out. Though many pagan traditions call for certain length wands, nature determines the length and width of all my wands.
We do not consecrate or bless these wands, as they are not my wands and my energies and magic are not for sale. I am only the temporary keeper of these wands until they find their true owners. I will smudge them just before shipping to remove any residual energies. Once you receive your wand, you will have a blank slate to work with. Be sure to cleanse and consecrate your wand as soon as you get it!
Each wand gets a cotton muslin bag custom made once the wand is finished. I make the bags large enough to accomodate any insulator wrapping you may want to do, such as silk. Additionally, you may want to customize your wand with crystals or stones, so the bags are large enough to allow your wand to fit in the bag after any changes are made.
Coming Soon!
At By Leaf & Wand, we are always working on new products that we think our customers will love. Here is a sneak peak at a few things we have in the works for the near future.
- Crafting supplies : Items such as our miniature besoms and wood frame pentacles shown above. The besoms are hand made from offered twigs and pine needles found where we live. The pentacles are a great base for Sabbat wreathes and altar items also! They can be used as is, or wrap them with the current seasonal colors and items! They are small and lightweight so they can be hung on a door or wall easily. Combine them together as shown too! Great for every witchy crafter out there! We also have a small selection of hand picked shells from the Jacksonville area beaches, great for jewelry, dreamcatchers and other spiritual crafting projects!
- Wood Cover Book of Shadows Organizer : A fully functional adjustable Book of Shadows with all the pages already organized for you! The pages that fill this book are beautifully planned with a plethora of general information on all things pagan! Stones, crystals, chakras, just to name a few! And plenty of beautifully lined blank pages just waiting for your private spells, recipes and incantations! This will surely become a family heirloom with space for you to fill in all of your family traditions, special rituals and ceremonies and those secret recipes grandma handed down to you! A few sample pages are shown below.
- Hand Dipped Incense : We will soon be offering hand dipped incense in both stick and cone, matching the fragrances of our bath and body product lines!
- Handcrafted Altar Tiles : We are working on the details to begin carrying hand crafted wood altar tiles with different symbols engraved on them. They will be a wonderful addition to any altar!
