Unadulterated magic wand

Wood: Tulipwood - Brown Ebony

Tropical Hardwood: Tulipwood & Brown Ebony

Approximate Weight: 2.5 oz

Crafted: July 14, 2015

The beauty of this wand is in the detail of the design and the color of the wood. The tulipwood and brown ebony are all natural; no dye or stain has been added. Both woods are hard and dense.

This wand is a unique quality handcrafted work of art. First I use a router on the handle to get the deep groves before shaping it on the wood lathe. A tenon is made on the shaft of the wand and the handle is epoxy glued to it after being made separately on the wood lathe. I sanded the wand super smooth on the lathe to 1000 grit. Then the wand was finished with shellac and buffed with natural waxes.

Tulipwood is part of the rosewood family. It carries with it many of the traits of other rosewoods, with a few unique traits as well. A very powerful feminine energy radiates from this wood. It would be extraordinary if used in moon magic, and anything having to do with creativity, intuitions, and beauty, and natural cycles. This would be an excellent wood for divination. The primary element of this wood is water. Water usually brings with it a calm and peaceful effect. However, the energy of this wood contains the full spectrum of water energy, both peaceful and destructive. It is as though the very energy of the Goddess rests within the wood; beautiful and serene, yet powerful and proud. The wood carries an overall positive energy, and also may be used to bring about affluence and wealth. One of the most powerful woods we have ever encountered, with a very diverse and potent energy.

Scott Cunningham, trusted writer of over 30 books about magic and the occult, writes about ebony, "Ebony wood is protective and so is used in making amulets. Ebony wands give the magician pure, unadulterated power." The power of ebony is non-discriminating. It is useful for any magical practice and with any element. It is especially useful in spells dealing with the home, love, and Venus.

Other learners ventured deep into unknown brush in the woods and learned that getting stuck is easy but getting unstuck- not as much. They named this area of brush a “ninja stuck house” and they used their ninja skills to kick, chop, kick, chop their way out. These incredible learners don’t just see, smell, touch, hear, and taste nature, they fully immerse themselves deep within nature. It lives inside of them and it’s our privilege to help them unleash this birthright.

1. John - 1 star
I visited the Salem Witch Museum House and was left highly disappointed. The whole experience felt like a poorly executed tourist trap. The exhibits were outdated and lacked any real substance. The audio narration was filled with clichéd and exaggerated stories that did not accurately portray the history of the Salem witch trials. I felt like I was being fed stereotypes and sensationalism rather than genuine historical information. I would not recommend wasting your time or money on this attraction.

The Salem Witch Museum House fell short of my expectations. The exhibits were quite underwhelming and lacked depth. The narration provided during the tour seemed repetitive and did not provide any new insights or interpretations of the events that unfolded during the witch trials. Additionally, the museum was crowded, which made it difficult to immerse myself in the experience. Overall, I was left wanting more from this supposedly historical attraction.

I was excited to visit the Salem Witch Museum House, but unfortunately, it did not live up to its hype. The exhibits were poorly organized and lacked clear explanations of the historical context. The audio narration was monotonous and failed to engage me in a meaningful way. Furthermore, the museum lacked interactive elements, leaving me feeling disconnected from the subject matter. It's a shame, as the Salem witch trials are a fascinating part of history, but this museum failed to do justice to the topic.
