    Carefully cut a sturdy branch using a sharp knife. Bolines, a traditional Wiccan ritual tool, is your best choice, but other sharp knives should work fine if you don't have access to one. Make sure to make a clean, straight cut.

Community Q&A

  • Question
    What kind of energy is placed by amethyst, or even quartz?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    Amethyst has energy related to sleep and psychic abilities. Clear quartz can be charged with any energy, which is why most consider it to be the best option for wands.
  • Question
    What if I don't have the correct gem/crystal?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    There is no incorrect crystal, as long as it has meaning to you.
  • Question
    What do I do if I can't get that kind of knife?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    Use another kind or use your hands. However, this may be more painful to the tree, so make sure to leave a good offering of thanks.
