NEW!!! These are Paul’s best and most elaborate work yet! And demanded a new “series” to be named after them. Debuted at Convocation they were so popular they almost sold out! But more will be forged!
These combine Paul’s most elaborate and complex finishes with new twist techniques. Large gorgeous “A” quality crystal spheres and pagan symbols!
The wand flares out between the handle and point in what is called a basket twist. Many blacksmiths need to split the iron, make the rotary twist shapes and then weld it back together. This is ugly and inelegant. Paul found a way to create the void effect without needing to cut and weld! The basket void resembles a nut and adds symmetry to the large crystal set in the pommel. Pagan symbols are stamped below the crystal sphere on all sides at the end of the handle.
The shaft is decorated with two different types of twist… Including classics such as “dragonscale twists”, “Staircase twists”, “Rope twists” and “Vine twists”, including Paul’s new experimental vine twists further details with ripples and ridges.
The clasps that hold the crystal in place are drawn out to resemble organic branches or vines. Each is Unique.
Our most expensive and elaborate wand, described as “Elven” by those attending Convocation! Every inch is extensively detailed, every cut and embellishment forged by hand! These are a huge amount of work, hence the price.
This wands are approximately 19 inches in length. These are BIG!
The twists in the wand show the movement of energy. and that magick is always turning about the dark and light side of dualities. The contrast between the shiny polished areas and dark interior of the twists also talk to the ying and yang of the light and dark, the double sided coin that is energy.
Unique hand forged iron heirloom wand by our pagan blacksmith. Paul is a practitioner of traditional witchcraft, a Wiccan high priest and a ceremonial magikan.
Iron is sacred to Mars and therefore perfect for a weapon of manifestation and will such as the wand!
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 wands are unique. There is no plan beforehand, the wand is allowed to manifest as it wills, Paul just helps it along.
