So I took a walk today with my loyal companion and best friend, my dog Odin. I had set forth with the intent of finding the right bit of branch that would become my first wand. I wanted to find a dropped piece, shared from nature, for whomever needs it. My eyes looking about along the walk looking for something that was calling out to me. About halfway through my journey, I was so engrossed in searching for that special piece of wood that I had failed to notice a feral cat that couldn't have been more than a year old. When I did notice the feline, it gave me quite a shock as it was so close to me and it was gazing at me with an intense and mysterious stare. After saying hello to this creature I continued to set forth on my journey. I had arrived upon a large fallen branch, one particular offshoot drew my interest right away. I knew it was right, it had spoken out to me. I freed that offshoot from the main part of the fallen branch. I then took a moment to inspect what I now held in my hand. As I looked at it's beauty, turning it over, examining all its unique characteristics, it almost seemed as if this piece of wood, this stick, was singing in my hand. What a strong connection, what an amazing gift nature has given me. I then took another moment to thank nature for what had been bestowed upon me. After my kind words were said I stared to head back. My eyes fully open and enjoying all the beauty of nature around me. What was an already truly magickal moment became even more so, as I continued on my way back I came across five beautiful rabbits. They were so peaceful, so beautiful, so happy.
I will update this post as progress is made on the creation of my wand.
Here is what I am starting with.
