The Blasting Rod- Thunder Rod or Blackthorn Wand

An excerpt from Raven Grimassi’s “Grimoire of the Thorn-blooded Witch” in regards to the preparation and uses of the traditional blackthorn wand.

– On three moonless nights, preferably under Scorpio
– Under the sky, beneath the stars, anoint the rod with Master Oil.

“Be now the Master’s bolt, in this blackthorn cane. A protection unto me and my enemies a bane.”

Prick your thumb at the crossroads, and anoint the cane with three drops of blood.

“Here at the crossroads at this hour, I claim by right the Witches power. Forces of night and shadows bold, the witch’s blackthorn cane I hold.”
