Your Channel Items?

It's very rewarding to make your own items! I wish you the best of luck. Do you have a wide variety of trees in your area? If not, you could probably buy some raw stick online (but I have no idea where, sorry lol).

Here's a link about the magickal properties of certain trees: http://www.goldentreewands.com/magicpropertiesofwood.htm

You could try incorporating quartz, or any other stones you feel you have a connection to, and you could burn runes, magickal symbols and the like into wood. They sell simple wood-burning kits at most hardware or arts-and-crafts stores.

Thanks. Here in Missouri we have a large variety of Standing Brothers. Thats what makes it so hard to choose. lol.

Uhm, I actually do the same when I lack an better amplifier.
I always carry as many crystals on me as possible so I always possess tools to amplify and direct energy.

Iam also utilizing swords and wands as amplifiers, but both are way too bulky to carry around.

Iam, as mentioned, working on a glove that I may be able to intigrate with my clothing as an accessory and it will be used as an magical multi-tool.

Aint crystals handy? :)

As Kikuyo already said, crystals in wands is a must have.
Using symbols and runes on your wand is a nice bonus and spice it up a bit.

When I will start build my advanced high-end wands I will make use of something I call Catalysts.

A catalyst is a crystal or glass ball right above the handle and before the antenna-part of the wand.

When you use the wand the catalyst will increase the energy output of the wand, send the energy up through the antenna to the tip (where you should have a clear quartz tip) where the crystal tip amplify the energy and...well, thats it.

Why don't you make an athame wand. It is a wand and looks like a wand BUT you pull it apart and WOAH there is a blade inside.

To answer thread maker's question:
I use a TV remote to change my channels.

Can anyone give me instructions for wand making. I have a lot of sticks around my house. I just need to know how to add crystals really. So if anyone can help I would really appreciate it.

I do it the easy way, I just flatten the tip of the wand and glue a wand to it.

But that require you to have crystals with flat bottoms...

I dont know any easy way to put a non-flat crystal on a stick.

Perhaps craving or burning a hole into it?

i use a wand thats looks like it has a dragon head on it,
i painted it with fack gold and silver, and has cheata looking fabrick for the handle, and it has a prisom at its snout, has a pice of bark on it to make its stomic, foule around its neck and has a tape on its snout to make it look like a marking,and has a mirror glued to the foule. lol i had a lot to type

Either a Stibnite rod, an Angelite wand or myself ^_^

Found that I dont need a tool if I can recreate the energies within myself ;)

I primarily work with my athame when directing energy. However. I also have a wand of Irish bog oak and elder that I use when I need to work with energy in a move inviting rather than commanding way. And oftentimes I will simply direct the energies with my hand.
