Trees and Wands

My wand was a gift from nature; I found it outside my cabin. It fit perfectly. I would recommend waiting for nature to give you wands before you start cutting. But if you must, here is a guide:

If you plan to harvest wood from a tree for a wand, be certain to ask permission of the nature spirits, dryads, or Fairies that live in the tree before doing so. Tradition says that if the branches and leaves of the tree suddenly stir or shake, the answer is "No".

Almond: Wands are for general magic. Sun

Ash: Wands are used for general magic, plus healing and solar. Sun

Elder: Wands are used for exorcising evil spirits. Venus
