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.
