Your Magical Home/ The Wonder of Wands: Think Gandalf, Not Harry Potter!

I see many gorgeous, crystal-encrusted wands for sale in metaphysical five-and-dimes, and I am sure they are super-powered. Bear in mind, though, that it is a wonderful thing indeed to make your own wand. Star with a tree branch that has fallen to the ground on its own. Sand and polish the rough edges, as it is a wand and not a weapon. Then give it a good smudging. Hot-glue a large quartz crystal onto the wand near the handle, and hot-glue on any crystals featuring properties that will complement your magic. Citrine makes an excellent pointer tip for your wand and aligns your self-identity with your spirit. And, after all, isn’t that the point? Here are stones I recommend for harnessing various powers with wands:
 
-amber for grounding,
-amethyst for balance and intuition,
-aventurine for creative visualization,
-bloodstone for abundance and prosperity,
-calcite for warding off negativity,
-carnelian for opening doors for you and helping you overcome any family problems,
-chalcedony for power over dark spirits,
-citrine for getting motivated and attracting money and success,
-fluorite for communicating with fairies and other unseen beings,
-garnet for protection from gossip,
-geode for getting through periods of extreme difficulty,
-hematite for strength and courage,
-jade for wisdom to interpret or realize powerful dreams,
-jasper for stability,
-lodestone for bringing a lover back into your life,
-mahogany obsidian for feeling sexy and emanating sensuality,
-moss agate for powers of persuasion and healing,
-quartz crystal for divining your dreams,
-rhodochrosite for staying on course with your life’s true purpose,
-rose quartz for love
-turquoise for safety when traveling, and
-watermelon tourmaline for help with planning your best possible future.
