Your burning questions, answered. Have another? We would love to hear from you, so don’t hesitate to get in touch or call (510) 573-3459.
Are the wands real?
Yes, but they do not have the powers seen in the Harry Potter books and movies. Willowroot wands are designed for real spell working and meditation. Our magic wands are carefully designed and crafted to amplify and transmit your energy and spells. See About our wands for more.
Do they work?
Yes, our wands work very well, as thousands can attest. However, they do not shoot sparks, levitate objects, fly, or turn your family members into toads, unless you have the powers to do that within you already. Real magic isn’t flash-bang-zoom; it is quieter, more subtle, and harder to see coming, but it is amazing all the same.
How long have you been in business?
Since 1967, creating original metaphysical jewelry. In the early 1980s Abby began creating magic wands too. The Willowroot Wands website has been online since 2001.
How do I choose a wand that’s right for me?
Trust yourself! Look at all our magic wands and see which ones attract you most, but don’t order yet. Come back in a day or two and see if the same wands still draw you to them. If they do, start deciding which one seems right for you. It isn’t the price or size that makes a magic wand right for you, it is the wand’s energy. Choose the magic wand that you really love!
Tip: tap the heart on any wand to keep it on your list, then come back and see which ones still call to you. Or let a wand find you.
Are large wands more powerful than small wands?
Not necessarily. The power of a wand depends a great deal on your connection to it. The wand that draws you is the one you should choose; the unique energy of each wand can be used very effectively by the person drawn to it. For ceremonial work in groups or covens, a larger magic wand is recommended.
Do I have to be a witch to have a magic wand?
No. All kinds of people buy our magic wands for all kinds of reasons. Some are witches or wizards and use them for spell casting. Some people have always just wanted a magic wand, keep it on a desk, coffee table or bookshelf, and enjoy it and its energy every day. Some use our wands as focusing tools for meditation, or in teaching others to meditate and focus. Some Reiki practitioners and other healers use them in their healing practices, many psychics use them in their psychic work, and some people use our wands in theatrical productions, movies and TV shows.
Why are Willowroot wands so expensive?
They aren’t expensive. A magic wand is a metaphysical tool and should be well made enough to last you a lifetime, and Willowroot wands are. Our least expensive magic wands cost about the same as ten medium cups of coffee; our most expensive cost less than a week’s rent.
The question is: do you want a high-quality metaphysical tool, or a disposable trinket to amuse you for a short time? At Willowroot Wands we only make quality metaphysical tools, not trinkets.
Have there always been magic wands?
From the earliest human history, people have used special sticks and objects as power objects and tools for contacting the spirit world. A magic wand is such an object. Wands in magical practice are similar to scepters, which are symbols of worldly authority and power. The Greeks, Romans, Babylonians, Celts, Russians and other cultures used scepters or wands, and the British monarch still uses a scepter today.
Will a magic wand give me powers?
A magic wand, any magic wand, will not give you powers you don’t have within you, but it will help you to access and work with the powers that are within you. Often these are powers you don’t even know you have. Using a magic wand helps you focus and open your spirit and your mind to unlimited possibilities. It can also help you expand the power of your own visions and your ability to manifest the life and changes that you want.
Do you make custom wands?
Not at this time. Abby is no longer accepting orders for custom wands.
What if I don’t like the wand I ordered?
As long as the wand is not damaged and is in “as new” condition, with its tube and instructions, just call us for a return authorization and we will refund your card in full when we receive your return. See the returns policy.
How do I dedicate my new wand?
Your wand comes with instructions, and the whole ritual is here: Dedicating your wand and a few spells.
