How to make a magic wand - master class and photo

If the child wants to have another magical attribute, help him make a magic wand. Then children will be able to feel like the heroes of the Harry Potter movie.

For a magic wand to really have positive properties, make it out of wood. To do this, you need to go to the forest, as city trees are weaker.

Go for a walk with pleasure. At this time, you should have harmony in your soul. To make a real magic wand, you can go to the waxing moon phase. You do not need to cut the first branch that comes across, go to the tree and mentally ask him. It should give you its twig.

Take it in your hands, close your eyes, and you will understand if this is your subject. Then you need to mentally thank the tree for such a gift.

The length of this attribute is from the edge of the middle finger to the elbow. It must be cut off with a sharp knife and hidden from prying eyes. Also, in solitude, you need to make a magic wand.

Arriving home, cut off the knots and bark from it, then you need to process it with sandpaper. The twig should be smooth. At this time, say the following words: “I conjure you, the omnipotent branch (of such and such a tree) by the forces of 4 elements - Earth, Water, Fire and Air! Take in their power and strength and be my faithful assistant!"

To further craft a magical attribute, make a hole on one side of the branch. You will need to place a magic core here.

Choose what type it will be:

  1. If you want the help of the energy of the Earth, then put a pebble or crystal here. It is better to take a stone that is determined by your horoscope. Field grasses are also suitable. If you want fame, use laurel, if you want a good memory, use rosemary. Lavender symbolizes devotion, and sage symbolizes wisdom.
  2. If you want the energetic Air to help, then put a feather of a bird in the stick. But don't use a rooster or raven feather.
  3. If you need Water's help, then use amber or a small container of water from the source of your choice. A small plastic container in which the seeds are sold will work. Since water is a changeable substance, it can be symbolized by a spring or wire.
  4. If you want to protect the energy of Fire, then use a small coal.
