ABOUT THE ASH TREE:

 Fraxinus Americana, White Ash (baseball bat wood): The wood is white, strong, straight-grained, and the tree is in the olive family. White ash is the largest of the ashes native to North America, and is known for being tough; does not break under large amounts of strain yet is quite light weight. It is one of the toughest and most elastic woods which has led to its use in Native American spears, bows, clubs, and snow shoes since time immemorial.
The metaphysical magic influence of the ash tree reaches far back into time, and properties are numerous. Ash wands, or staves, are good for healing, general magic, solar magic, to attract lightning, and is used to remove spells or hexes. The ancient World Tree (Yggdrasil) of Norse mythology is commonly thought to have been an ash tree, and the first man formed from the same. Being an herb of the sun, ash brings light into the hearth at the Winter Solstice. The wood has traditionally been burned during the Yule holiday for prosperity of the household as the Yule Log. Celtic druid wands were often made of ash and decorated with symbols and sigils. The handle for a witches broom is traditionally made from ash wood, purportedly allowing witches to ride through the air. A bit of ash may be worn or kept in your home to protect from general evil or witchcraft, plus venomous animals too. Save the stripped off bark of ash and use for protection or prosperity spells, sea rituals, and health spells. An amulet to protect from drowning and vampires can be made by carving or binding two twigs together into a solar cross (Brigid's Cross). An ash staff or wand placed over the door wards off negative influences. It has also been said that tools with handles made of this wood will enable a person to do more work than could be done with tools whose handles were not of ash; hence the reason that ash wood is generally used as tool handles.

About These Wands: In addition to the many powerful metaphysical uses for White Ash, these particular wands hold the added power of hurricane winds and the energy of the peaking Full Moon; Harvested and felled during the September 2008 Hurricane Ike Full Moon (USA). The mother tree still lives, and was quite healthy when these wands were harvested from a large branch that was twisted off by the high winds of a most unusual wind storm event. The tree fell just before the peak of the Moon; at 99%, and was harvested with the Moon at 100% full. My husband and myself worked swiftly to stay within the Full Moon time, but enjoyed our blessings with playful fun, hoping to pass that good energy along with the wands. The wands have never touched the ground. Use as a ritual Wiccan wand, craft into one of the suggested amulet talisman, or use for your own creative crafting. These wands are perfect for group exercises or Pagan festival workshops, so just contact me about quantity orders (be sure to include your email address when contacting).
