Living Wands of the Druids Harvesting, Crafting, and Casting with Magical Tools By Jon G Hughes

Fifth-generation Druid Jon G. Hughes explores the history and lore of the wand and presents a practical guide to harvesting and crafting living wands, rods and staffs from local natural materials. He explains the woods and botanicals that can be used and the attributes traditionally associated with each.

Harvesting advice covers practices specific to each tree along with considerations such as moon phases and seasons. Step-by-step chapters address wand practice, cleansing, intention and how to return a wand to nature, all framed within the author’s Druid tradition.
