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.
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
ALMOND— Wisdom, prosperity, love magic, healing
BIRCH— Intuition, creativity, love, healing, protection
ELDER— Healing, protection, banishment
HAZEL— Truth, divination
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
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.

Eyewitness, a crime drama on USA that features two lgbt teen leads, is in desperate need of viewers. The show’s creator, adi hasak, has tweeted about how badly it needs viewers, as have the two lead actors, james paxton and tyler young.
adi stated that the show is averaging about 500k, but it needs about a million viewers to have any sort of chance at a renewal. the show was originally pitched as a anthology, but there have been hints that maybe the characters would stay the same, or at the least, the actors could return for the second season but as different characters (think american horror story).
eyewitness deals with issues like internalized homophobia, foster care, addiction, and, of course, features a triple homicide. it does not shy away from showing intimate scenes with the male leads, which is refreshing after watching shows for years that would “cut away” or just make the intimacy “implied.”
the actors are also extremely aware of how important this show is for the lgbt community. they both are very active and informed about lgbt issues and are SO great to their fans.
the first four episodes are available to stream on USA’s website (I do believe any country can watch these right now).
the show airs Sundays at 10/9c on USA. It’s very important that if you’re able to watch, you watch it as it airs.
Not able to watch it? You can still help! Being active on social media about the show is really important! Eyewitness doesn’t have an official twitter handle, but the actors and creator have said to tweet #eyewitness and @USA_Network to promote the show and also to just show the network its popularity.
have you watched the show and just don’t care for it but still care about your friends who watch it? my final desperate plea is if you’re able and willing, please just put the show on your tv and mute it if you really don’t want to watch. I know that sounds kind of sad, but 2016 has been rough, y’all, and this show has been such a bright spot (no pun intended).
