Cunning Craft Iron Wand with single twist 1

As part of our Every Day Witch Prices initiative to combat inflation Paul decided to re-launch one of his early ranges of elegant no-frills tools. He named it his “Cunning Craft” range.

Approximately 10 inches in length.

His popular artisan hand forged iron burins or candle scribes are one of Paul's most popular creations and many blacksmiths have been inspired by Paul’s Celtic and witchcraft designs for these unique tools for bloodletting or inscribing words and symbols into candles or wood. Much quicker and safer and cleaner for pricking a finger or thumb near painlessly to let a bead of blood for spells and blood magick. Many also use them as mini wands or as scribes to etch into candles for candle magick.

The success of these burins caused him to realize that it really was time to forge a cunning craft Iron Wand!

These “Cunning Craft” burins are about $20 less as they don’t have any artisan embellishments…. But… They are detailed with Theban characters around the four ends of the burins square end… The words “So Mote It Be” are stamped in Theban Witch Runes, one word on each face…

The wand is a tool of the element of fire in some traditions and air in others. It is for directing force and energy and spells of manifestation. A popular witchcraft, wicca and occult tool dating back to ancient Egypt! Representing one of the four elements, the wand is an important ritual tool in all forms of occult, witchcraft, pagan and wicca magick.

The twists talk to the nature of magick, ever changing, suggesting movement and energy. The contrast between the light and dark also talk to the dual nature of magick and the power of dualities.

Unique and hand forged by our pagan blacksmith. Paul is a practitioner of traditional witchcraft and ceremonial magick.

Iron is sacred to Mars and therefore perfect for a weapon of manifestation and will.
The Tubal Cain mythos also has iron as a tool of our will and apostasy, Yahweh after the expulsion from Eden told Adam and Eve they would have to scrabble among the thorns for their food... But Tubal Cain, 7th son of Cain had other ideas and discovered the working of iron and became the first blacksmith. To the Tubal Cain currents of witchcraft iron is therefore a tool of our will.

In Traditional English cottage witchcraft the Fae Folk are scared of iron and therefore iron tools can be used to protect against or control the Fae.

Each of Paul's iron wands are unique. There is no plan beforehand, the ritual tool is allowed to manifest as it wills, Paul just helps it along. The twists back and forth talk to the dual nature of magick, as does the contrast between the light shiny detailed areas of the wand and the darker inner areas.
