MAKING ELEMENTAL WANDS

Wand of Air:
Cut an 18-inch Lilac branch. Slowly shave only the bark off, no wood. Make
sure the branch is green. Holding the wand with your thumbs, light incense
under it and let the smoke touch it. As the incense burns, chant:
"Spirit of Air, maker of wind.
Bless this wand to channel
Your strength through."
Wand of Fire:
Cut an 18-inch Cherry branch. Slowly shave only the bark off, no wood.
Make sure the branch is green. Holding the wand on your thumbs, light a
candle under it, push the wand in and out of the flames while chanting:
"Spirit of Fire, maker of destruction.
Bless this wand to channel
Your strength through."
Wand of Earth:
Cut an 18 inch Dod Wood (or Oak) branch. Slowly shave only the bark off.
Make sure the branch is green. Resting the wand on your thumbs, slowly
sprinkle dirt over it while chanting:
"Spirit of Earth, maker of mountains.
Bless this wand to channel
Your strength through."
Wand of Water:
Cut an 18-inch Willow (or Drift Wood) branch. Slowly shave off only the
bark, no wood (Don't shave drift wood). Make sure the branch is green (Not
necessary for Drift wood). Resting the wand on your thumbs, slowly
sprinkle water over it while chanting:

"Spirit of Water, maker of seas.

Bless this wand to channel
Your strength through."
