Magnolia is a tree which has its beginnings in the southern United States but since has been naturalised in the UK and possibly other parts of Europe. The Magnolia was also cultivated in China for the flower buds from which tea is made. It is a good wood to use for a healing wand. It is also a marvellous wood for using in divination and doing ancestral work or seeking past lives. She is so gentle, yet so strong that I recommend Magnolia to beginners and seasoned sorcerers alike.
Maple : Masculine energy. Another tree naturalised into the UK, most of what we find about Maple is information more directed to those in the US. Still, we can use the magickal information interchangeably to a degree, depending upon the kind of Maple. It works well for all experience levels. Oak : Masculine energy. Oak is a wood I have much experience with.
Not only do I have an Oak wand — amongst the many I use — but I have created many Oak wands over the years and find it to be hard to carve but the results are always worth it.
It is a wood that speaks to me freely as I create the wand; It directs my design. Oak has many powers which make it a good wand for many. Amongst those are work in ancestry, healing, longevity, luck, wealth, strength, and success.
The Celts saw the Oak as a tree of divinity and Druids would not meet without an Oak tree present. No one can go wrong with an Oak wand and I highly recommend this wood to any sorcerer. Olive : Masculine energy. It is said that picking an Olive branch brings prosperity and happiness, therefore, you may cut an Olive branch without fear of bad things happening. Be sure to thank the Olive tree, however. Olive is a wood of abundance, balance, healing, longevity, prosperity, rebirth, and success.
Rowan : Feminine energy. Rowan is a tree loved by many, me included. It is, after all, a tree honoured by the Goddess Brighid whom is well-loved by many and used by the Celts when reciting magickal incantations. Rowan is notably most associated with protection but is also healing, lucky, and a wood of blessings.
Rowan is one of the Nine Sacred Woods. It is a fabulous wood for healing spells and contacting the Elementals. My opinion of Rowan is that if you will only have one wand in your possession, make it a Rowan wand. It is most suitable for any sorcerer. Sycamore : Feminine energy. Pine is more soft and resinous than deciduous hardwoods. It dents easily and the sap tends to gum up tools, which can limit its utility as a fine craft material.
Even so, countless Witches wield Pine wands because it is the most common wood available at craft and hardware stores. Pine does not make the most durable or powerful wand possible. Instead, it is a wood that rewards creativity and spontaneity with its low cost and flexible energy. Magickal properties of Pine include prosperity, purification, and protection against negativity.
Poplar also known as Tulipwood or Whitewood is a creamy yellow timber, sometimes tinted toward grey or green. Lightweight and supple, Poplar wood has little visible grain and grows very straight. The fast-growing Poplar tree has an affinity with the element of Air. Versatile Poplar is suitable for most magickal applications.
It's especially known for attracting money, bringing eloquence, and adapting to changing circumstances. Poplar is related to Aspen, and the two are basically interchangeable for magickal purposes. It's widely available as a craft wood. An exotic wood from Central and South America with a dramatic natural purple color. Purpleheart is among the heaviest of all craft woods.
It is an ideal partner for the imaginative, the spiritual, and the creative magick worker. Purpleheart can feel different to each user, but its main attributes are divination, aspiration, knowledge, spirituality, and transformation.
Purpleheart and its relatives, Yellowheart and Redheart are prized by woodworkers for their rich color, and can be found at most specialty wood shops.
Rosewood refers to any number of richly hued tropical timbers. It is named for its sweet, floral aroma—which is strongest when the wood is freshly milled—and not for any botanical relation to Rose bushes. Rosewood has a very special energetic quality, full of mystery and dark magick. It is not the darkness of negativity, but of repose and inner knowing. Rosewood is said to bring true and lasting love, psychic openness, and healing energy to magickal spells. Rosewood has a compassionate, receptive energy that makes it well suited to reflecting matters of the heart.
A desert plant, Rosewood remembers what it is like to thrive despite hardship. It is traditionally used for love magick, divination, and healing. Rosewood is rich brown with darker veining , very strong and heavy, and takes an excellent polish. Brazilian Rosewood is perhaps the most coveted of all the craft woods. It was overharvested in the s and s and trade in most varieties of Rosewood is now restricted on the world market.
Still, some types of Rosewood are available to the wand purchaser. Indian Rosewood, or sheesham, is commonly found in imported crafts. It is a true Rosewood though softer and more porous than finer varieties and its energetic properties are similar to its rarer cousins. It has a long folkloric association with witchcraft. In Scottish tradition, Rowan was used to make dowsing rods and walking sticks for protection , and non-magickal uses of the wood were forbidden.
Rowan is associated with protective magick, and Rowan wands are excellent for warding, banishing, and commanding spells. Other meanings include insight, inspiration, persistence, and Faery blessings. Rowan branches are thin, but the wood is light-colored and good for hand-carving. Rowan is found mostly in Europe and Britain.
In the United States, it is occasionally planted as a shrubbery, and is better known to landscapers as Mountain Ash. Seek out specialty craft wood suppliers to purchase Rowan.
Walnut trees are large, hardy and slow-growing members of the Hickory family. An old Dutch proverb says, "By the time the Walnut tree is tall, the planter will surely be dead. Walnut contains the combined energies of Air and Earth: clarity and intelligence, confidence and wisdom. In Italian tradition, it is said to shelter dancing Witches at their Sabbats.
American Black Walnut has an unmistakable chocolate-brown color. It is durable but also fairly light, and for these reasons it is much sought-after by fine furniture makers. The grain is highly figured near the roots, but becomes straight as it travels up the tree's trunk.
Neither "zingy" nor sluggish, the energy of a Walnut wand is a good balance between the two. Walnut wood is available to the wandmaker in lumber, in dowels, and in turning blanks. American Black Walnut is widespread across the eastern United States, and other species may be found in most temperate climates.
Willow has flexible branches, but deep roots. One of the lessons of Willow is to hold fast to the Earth, but to bend with the breeze. This is a water-loving tree whose bark has medicinal properties. As a Lunar tree, Willow wood believed to increase psychic sensitivity.
Willow is also sacred to poets, as the sound of its rustling branches was said to inspire song and verse. A Willow wand is an ideal choice for poets, bards, healers, and seers. Yew is a sacred tree that can live well over years, and there are Yews in Britain that are reputed to be much older than that. Some say that it is the only living thing that is theoretically capable of living indefinitely. Yew is a being whose life outspans all other creatures—its mysteries are deep and difficult to understand.
Most parts of the plant are poisonous. It is attributed to Saturn and linked to death and immortality. Yew wands lend themselves to dark and complex magickal workings. Yew is rarely seen as a craft wood due to slow growth and centuries of overharvesting.
Older trees are usually hollow, and almost all lumber is riddled with pips, knots, and voids. English Yew is not commercially available due to the protected status of many old groves. Still, it is possible to make a Yew wand responsibly if you are content with using a smaller piece of wood or Pacific Yew rather than English. This exotic West African wood is named for its unique black-and-gold striped pattern. Its magickal attributes are love, luck, creativity, and beauty.

The Harry Potter Wiki has 2, images related to Wand. Categories Wands. Universal Conquest Wiki. A very unusual wand wood, which I have found creates tricky wands that often refuse to produce magic for any but their owner, and also withhold their best effects from all but those most gifted.
Alder is an unyielding wood, yet I have discovered that its ideal owner is not stubborn or obstinate, but often helpful, considerate and most likeable. Alder wood is well suited for making flutes and pipes, and for building bridges. Alder people are adventurous travellers and confident decision makers who trust their inner voices. Alder people should work hard to maintain a balance between work and play.
Applewood wands are not made in great numbers. They are powerful and best suited to an owner of high aims and ideals, as this wood mixes poorly with Dark magic. The ash wand cleaves to its one true master and ought not to be passed on or gifted from the original owner, because it will lose power and skill. This tendency is extreme if the core is of unicorn. Tools, magical and ordinary, made from Ash are especially productive as Ash trees are known to attract energy.
Ash people are kind and generous with a gift for seeing what is beautiful in the world and in others. Ash people should be careful that their romantic hearts do not lead them into danger. Wand-quality aspen wood is white and fine-grained, and highly prized by all wand-makers for its stylish resemblance to ivory and its usually outstanding charmwork. The true match for a beech wand will be, if young, wise beyond his or her years, and if full-grown, rich in understanding and experience.
Beech wands perform very weakly for the narrow-minded and intolerant. Blackthorn, which is a very unusual wand wood, has the reputation, in my view well-merited, of being best suited to a warrior.
Less common than the standard walnut wand, that of black walnut seeks a master of good instincts and powerful insight. Black walnut is a very handsome wood, but not the easiest to master. Whenever I meet one who carries a cedar wand, I find strength of character and unusual loyalty. This very rare wand wood creates a wand of strange power, most highly prized by the wizarding students of the school of Mahoutokoro in Japan, where those who own cherry wands have special prestige.
This is a most curious, multi-faceted wood, which varies greatly in its character depending on the wand core, and takes a great deal of colour from the personality that possesses it.
Cypress wands are associated with nobility. The great medieval wandmaker, Geraint Ollivander , wrote that he was always honoured to match a cypress wand, for he knew he was meeting a witch or wizard who would die a heroic death. I have found that matching a dogwood wand with its ideal owner is always entertaining.
Dogwood wands are quirky and mischievous; they have playful natures and insist upon partners who can provide them with scope for excitement and fun. This jet-black wand wood has an impressive appearance and reputation, being highly suited to all manner of combative magic, and to Transfiguration.
A wand for good times and bad, this is a friend as loyal as the wizard who deserves it. Wands of English oak demand partners of strength, courage and fidelity. The rarest wand wood of all, and reputed to be deeply unlucky, the elder wand is trickier to master than any other.
It contains powerful magic, but scorns to remain with any owner who is not the superior of his or her company; it takes a remarkable wizard to keep the elder wand for any length of time. The unfounded belief that only pure-bloods can produce magic from elm wands was undoubtedly started by some elm wand owner seeking to prove his own blood credentials, for I have known perfect matches of elm wands who are Muggle-borns.
Holly is one of the rarer kinds of wand woods; traditionally considered protective, it works most happily for those who may need help overcoming a tendency to anger and impetuosity. Wood from Holly trees has magical healing properties and is thought to repel evil.
Holly people make good leaders and thoughtful, loving and effective counsellors. Holly people should use their understanding of the dark, hidden side of humanity to guide others in their time of need. Strong, durable and warm in colour, larch has long been valued as an attractive and powerful wand wood.
Its reputation for instilling courage and confidence in the user has ensured that demand has always outstripped supply. It is said that a laurel wand cannot perform a dishonourable act, although in the quest for glory a not uncommon goal for those best suited to these wands , I have known laurel wands perform powerful and sometimes lethal magic. I have often found that those chosen by maple wands are by nature travellers and explorers; they are not stay-at-home wands, and prefer ambition in their witch or wizard, otherwise their magic grows heavy and lacklustre.
This golden-toned wood produces wands of splendid magical powers, which give of their best in the hands of the warm-hearted, the generous and the wise. Possessors of pear wands are, in my experience, usually popular and well-respected. The straight-grained pine wand always chooses an independent, individual master who may be perceived as a loner, intriguing and perhaps mysterious. Pine wands enjoy being used creatively, and unlike some others, will adapt unprotestingly to new methods and spells.
Here is a wand to rely upon, of consistency, strength and uniform power, always happiest when working with a witch or wizard of clear moral vision. In fact, the true match for a red oak wand is possessed of unusually fast reactions, making it a perfect duelling wand. Wand-quality redwood is in short supply, yet constant demand, due to its reputation for bringing good fortune to its owner.
Reed wands are best suited to those who are bold and are eloquent speakers, and prove to be very protective friends. Rowan wood has always been much-favoured for wands, because it is reputed to be more protective than any other, and in my experience renders all manner of defensive charms especially strong and difficult to break.
This unusual and highly attractive wand wood was greatly in vogue in the nineteenth century. Demand outstripped supply, and unscrupulous wandmakers dyed substandard woods in an effort to fool purchasers into believing that they had purchased silver lime. Unskilled wandmakers call spruce a difficult wood, but in doing so they reveal their own ineptitude. It is quite true that it requires particular deftness to work with spruce, which produces wands that are ill-matched with cautious or nervous natures, and become positively dangerous in fumbling fingers.
The sycamore makes a questing wand, eager for new experience and losing brilliance if engaged in mundane activities. Vine wands are among the less common types, and I have been intrigued to notice that their owners are nearly always those witches or wizards who seek a greater purpose, who have a vision beyond the ordinary and who frequently astound those who think they know them best.
