I see many gorgeous, crystal-encrusted wands for sale in metaphysical five-and- dimes, and I am sure they are super-powered. Bear in mind, though, that it is a wonderful thing indeed to make your own wand. Star with a tree branch that has fallen to the ground on its own. Sand and polish the rough edges, as it is a wand and not a weapon. Then give it a good smudging. Hot-glue a large quartz crystal onto the wand near the handle, and hot-glue on any crystals featuring properties that will complement your magic. Citrine makes an excellent pointer tip for your wand and aligns your self-identity with your spirit. And, after all, isn’t that the point? Here are stones I recommend for harnessing various powers with wands:

Amethyst for balance and intuition

Aventurine for creative visualization

Bloodstone for abundance and prosperity

Calcite for warding off negativity

Carnelian for opening doors for you and helping you overcome any family problems

Citrine for getting motivated and attracting money and success

Fluorite for communicating with fairies and other unseen beings

Garnet for protection from gossip

Geode for getting through periods of extreme difficulty

Hematite for strength and courage
