How to use crystal wands

While many of us may associate wands with magical fairies or witches and wizards, here at the crystal shop when we think of wands we think of CRYSTAL wands.

While our crystal wands may not be able to cast spells in the traditional way, they can be excellent tools for focusing energy, manifestation, meditation and self care, so we like to think they are magical in their own way. Read on to find out more about how to use crystal wands!

The first thing to note is that crystal wands come in all shapes, sizes and variety of crystals and so when choosing a wand it might be a good idea to think about what you will be using it for. For example if you want to use your wand to cleanse negative energy from your other crystals or yourself you may pick a selenite wand (see below). This wand can be kept close to your other crystals (for example in a bowl) in order to soak up the negative energy. Another method- if you want to work on cleansing negative energy from yourself- may be to sit quietly in a peaceful spot and gently move the wand over your entire body, it doesn't need to be physically touching you to work just close to you, helping to cleanse and ground you.

Wands can also be used to help generate energy and work towards manifestations of goals. For example our chakra generator wand may be used to cleanse and reenergise the chakras which can help with creative pursuits as well as general self care. If you have a particular goal or outcome you desire a wand could be used alone or in correspondence with a crystal grid and other relevant crystals (eg rose quartz for love, fluorite for study). You may wish to physically write down your goal on a piece of paper and place it either on a crystal grid or/and with the crystal wand physically touching it to aid with manifestation.

Natural crystal wand shapes occur like this stunning Amethyst chevron and they can provide a wonderfully tactile experience. For example if they are a skin-safe crystal such as Amethyst and feel comfortable for you they can be used to help massage aches and pains manually while also providing energetic support. Amethyst is a great stone to use for aiding in sleep and relaxation so you may wish to use it as part of your nightly bedtime routine to help with a great night sleep.
