Silver Birch Wand (Betula pendula tristis)

The Royal Botanic Gardens Silver Birch found in Inverleith, Edinburgh. It is known for it's contorted branches and it is one of the oldest, largest and most beautiful birch trees in Scotland. Our background collage was created from a variety of images, some image elements used were obtained from http://www.flickr.com/photos/designmag/, under the terms of the creative commons licensing.

White Russian

In celebration of the Vancouver Winter Olympics, we've created this special wand celebrating the wonder and spectacle of Winter. We call it the White Russian.  Background created from source files found at:  http://www.flickr.com/photos/designmag/.  We appreciate their Creative Commons licensing.

Gais Helen Mohiam, the Bene Gesserit Reverend Mother

The secretive Bene Gesserit were often referred to as "witches", they possess mental and physical powers developed through conditioning called "prana-bindu" training.  This wand was inspired by the imagination and the writings of Frank Herbert, author of Dune.

Morgan le Fay

Half sister to King Arthur, powerful sorceress and former student of Merlin.

White Water Ice Wand

Used by the White Wizard of the North, this wand is covered in individually hand applied glass beads.

Liir's Wand

Inspired by the Gregory MacGuire book, Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West.  We imagined a wand created for Elphaba Thropp's Son, Liir.

Winifred's Wand

From our very well guarded "Salem" collection; this wand originally belonged to Winifred Sanderson who was fictionalized in the film "Hocus Pocus" and was hilariously portrayed by Bette Midler. For safety reasons, black candles are not permitted within 25 feet of this particular wand.

Endora's Birthday Present

On Endora's 300th birthday, (1969), Samantha purchased this custom made wand for her Mother.  Endora retired this wand in 1984 and she fortunately donated it to our private collection.  Although our friends in the magical world rely on their wands for everyday practical magic; some wands are like fine jewelry and as such, are reserved for special occasions.  We think you'll agree after taking a closer look.

Battle Wand Created for the Dwarves of Norway

Known for their unique skill in metallurgy, this wand was once used to guard the caves in Nioavellir, (Dark Fields).  The tip of this wand is made from the poisonous spine of a golden bull nose dragon.  This ancient wand is one of the oldest in the Daxton MacTavish collection and was recently on loan to the "International Museum of Magical Relics".

"Believe in the Power of Magic" and "We Make Magic Happen Everday"

In Celebration of our 251st Anniversay We Take a Glimpse into our Past

To celebrate our 251st Anniversary we thought it would be nice to look back at our past.  We dug up one of our old wand box labels we found in our attic and in February we will feature the "vintage" look as the header for our blog.  Let us know what you think.  We might even put it on few t-shirts or mugs.  (Click on the photo below to see a full-size version.)
