In witchcraft, a wand is used for directing energy in rituals and spells. It represents energy, power, and fertility, and is used as both air and fire element. Each wand can be as unique as the witch that wields it.

To Build:
Unlike brooms, wands require very little work put into their production, unless you want to. Some traditions call for a witch to find their wand in a fallen branch and forbid against breaking one off the tree. Carving is optional, as is the choice to embed it with crystals, wrap it with wire, tie with ribbon, carve sigils, etc.
A few possibilities for wands based on wood magic correspondences:
ALDER— Weather magic, necromancy, courage and passion
HOLLY— Purity, sun magic, strength, protection, luck
OAK— Protection, fertility, strength
REDWOOD— “King of trees”, strength, protection, creativity,
enlightenment
ROWAN— Defense, creation, travel
WILLOW— Healing, protection, spirit work
YEW— Strength, change
🌟 Note:
However, please note, a wand does not need to be made out of wood. A wand can be found in many things and anything that is dear to you. A spoon, a pencil, a wrench, a plastic toy wand. If you can find magic within the instrument, it is a wand.
