Give Your Gemstone Wand a Tune-Up!

The gemstone wand is one of the most powerful tools that can be used in ritual. The wand may be used for ritual spells or healing help. It is used primarily to focus the intention of the spell or healing.

Choose the wand of a stone that is the basis for ritual. For example:

An aventurine wand is ideal for anything that involves luck
An amethyst wand, or sodalite wand is best for intuition or psychic abilities.
Use a rose quartz wand when you want to attract love
A moonstone wand will increase passion in your love life.
A natural quartz crystal wand makes an excellent channel for power and healing.
An angelite wand or selenite wand will facilitate connection with your angel companions.
Focus the energy by adding stones
To make the wand an even more focused tool, add other stones to it by wrapping these onto the wand with silver wire. Remember, the wand is the primary focus and the additional stones adjust the power as a secondary element.

Let's say I want to attract a new love in my life. I would take a rose quartz wand to attract love and wrap a moonstone onto the rose quartz wand to increase the passion factor. Perhaps I would add an amethyst to this rose quartz wand in order to keep a nice balance with love and passion.

Now, suppose I have been married for several years and I love my spouse, but there isn't much passion any more. In this case, I would start with a moonstone wand for passion; add an emerald to keep my marriage partner faithful and mahogany obsidian for more sensuality. I would advise to do this only on a weekend or vacation.

To become intuitive you may use an amethyst wand with amber for grounding. To get more money, an aventurine wand with a citrine stone wrapped to it works very well.

Here are a few stones that are good to add to the wand and their meanings.

Amber - Grounding
Amethyst - Balance
Ametrine - Protection in astral travel
Aquamarine - Long and happy marriage
Bloodstone - Abundance
Carnelian - Get rid of negative feelings
Citrine - Get motivated; attract money
Emerald - Keep your love faithful
Fluorite - Communication with fairies & spirits
Hematite - Strength and courage
Jasper - Stability
Mahogany Obsidian (Sunstone) - Sensuality
Moss Agate - Healing of all kinds
Rhodochrosite - Staying with your true purpose in life
Rose Quartz - Love
Turquoise - Safety in travel

The above is only a partial list of stones and some of their meanings. Get to know your gemstones by reading more about gemstone meanings to get more information.

Clean Your Wand

Before using or wrapping your wand it should be cleaned. Place the wand in a glass container and completely cover the wand with sea or Kosher salt. Leave the wand in the salt for 6 hours (it can be longer). After the 6 hours, gently rub the wands with the salt. Now place the wands in a window where they will receive the light of the next full moon. Put the wand in the window the day before the full moon and leave them until the day after the full moon. Pour the salt down your kitchen drain, while the hot water is running.

Clean the stones before you wrap them onto the wand. After the wand has been wrapped it is good to pass it in sage incense smoke. Do not allow other people to touch your wand, if they are touched, clean them again as above. If you use your wand more than once a month it should be cleaned again.

When not in use, keep your wands on your altar or wrapped in silk in a safe place.
