Yew wands
|
|
The Yew represents direct
contact with our past, and the old wisdom which we find deep within
ourselves. It also speaks to us of fresh growth arising out of death,
perhaps of our old selves, or old ways of thinking. It is a wonderful
wood and can be used for contact with
ancestors. |

reds and cream. In history, it is said that village
elders were buried beneath Yew trees in the belief that
the tree held their knowledge for their descendants. Length: 16 -

"Spirit of the Earth" wand
|
This beautiful wand is
crafted from a yew root which was respectfully gathered
from the area around the ancient, sacred site of
Stonehenge in southern Britain. Yew has associations
with the element of earth, particularly strong with this
piece as it's formed from a root.
The wand has warm colours and wonderful graining and has
a carved scroll winding around it with Irish Gaelic
translated into ogham meaning "I weave my magick".
The core is filled with a dried herb, the beautifully
named enchanter's nightshade, which is permanently
sealed inside with a protective plug of mistletoe.
Size: 45.5 cm/18.25 inches long (approx.)
Item no: W596*SOLD* |

"Root of the Nine
Worlds"
Yew wand
|
|
This wand is carved from
a beautifully warm-coloured yew root. It is wonderfully
smooth and tactile to touch and it features a natural
panel of darker wood which is inscribed with the old
Norse runic script "I draw upon the forces of the nine
worlds". The handle has nine plugs of mistletoe added,
traditionally a sacred herb to the Druids.
Length:
45 cm/17.5 inches (approx.)

Slender Irish bog
yew wand
Filled with our
Druid's herb blend
|
This petite and very slender wand is beautifully tactile and
feels so lovely to hold. The wood is bog yew from
Ireland and is around 5,000 years old. It is a
beautifully warm colour, grained with rich reddish and
deeper brown tones and feels full of positive energies.
The wand is filled with
hand-gathered, organically grown herbs which are
traditionally considered to be sacred to the Druids:
lavender, vervain, yarrow,
marjoram and mugwort. The herbs are permanently sealed
inside with a protective plug of heather.
Lavender is a powerful herb which brings peace and harmony. Vervain
is a sacred cleansing and purification herb which is
also believed to raise vibrations within the space.
Yarrow brings its strong associations with clairvoyance
and powers to promote divination. Marjoram is also added
for its traditional connections with love and the heart.
Mugwort has been used for millennia to aid clairvoyance and astral projection.
Our ancestors drank tea made from the leaves and it has
also been used in incenses or smoked to induce visions.

13 inches/33.5
cm (approx.)
