Braid Handle Marker

This is the cheapest option for your wand and can be used on any wand type or material. It is simply a braid marker defining the handle from the body of the wand and is of the same colour as the rest of the braid on the wand.

Mineral Handles
This is a very popular handle style, it can significantly improve the magickal properties of the wand.
Shown a handle made from Amethyst globes. The usual size for each globe is 10mm but larger will be used if the width of the wand dictates this (at no extra cost to you). The handles are based on 6 globes and bigger depending how long you would like the handle to be. There is a wide range of minerals available, the most popular are listed on the form but other minerals are available please ask if you cant find what you are looking for.

Cord Handles

Cord handles add a lovely feature to the wand as well as bringing the properties of colour magick. Most cords are about 1mm in diameter and available in a wide choice of colours and materials such as waxed cotton, leather or metallic.

Lathe Turned Handles

The range of styles is limitless but I have shown some of the popular options. They are individually hand made so will always differ slightly from the picture above. The most popular options in terms of material are Pine and Oak. Other options and styles are available please ask.

Metal Handles

These handles are made in the same way as the cord handles and there is a choice of two metals, Copper or Sterling silver. The copper choice is available in a plain copper colour or with a coloured coating. The picture shows a blue copper handle but there are a rainbow of colours to choose from, just name your colour. The wire is around 0.5mm in diameter. Obviously the sterling silver option is only available in one colour.

Braid Handles

These handles are made in exactly the same way as the cord handles above except they are on a much finer scale. The colour range is vast and can be exactly the same as the braid used on the rest of the wand. The braid is around 0.25mm thick and a handle will take up to or over 350 winds. They are very difficult and time consuming but the finish is worth it.

Carved Bone Skull Handles

This is a new handle style, it can significantly improve the magickal properties of the wand. They can be used to add an animal element. These are carved from real bone.

The usual size for each skull is 13mm but larger will be used if the width of the wand dictates this (at no extra cost to you). The handles are based on 6 or 8 skulls depending how long you would like the handle to be.

Pyrographed Handles

There are two options for this style of handle. Pyrographing is where the design is burnt into the wand material. The choices available and shown are a spiral design or a Celtic knot design.

Any design where pyrographing is require will command a premium because one slip and the whole wand is ruined.

Bark Handles

Natural bark handles are available for most wand materials. They are 3 to 4 inches long and usually sized to match the wand.
