The wand is used to direct energy and is of the fire element. Here

This ritual tool is helpful in amplifying and directing the

THE MAGIC WAND

The most important aid in ritual magic is, and always will be, the

magic wand. Above all, the magic wand is the symbol of the will,

the power

and the strength by which the magician maintains his influence

on the sphere for which he has made and charged it. A magician

will not have just one wand for his practice, but he will make

several wands depending on what he intends to do or attain.

The actual purpose of a magic wand is to help the magician project

his will into any sphere or plane. He may have a wand

1. To influence any being, no matter if human or animal,

2. To cure people

from diseases and to do away with bad, unfavorable influences,

3. To evoke spirits.

DONE BY POINTING THE WAND in THE DIRECTION WHERE THE ENERGY IS TO

OF HELP IN RITUALS.]





To say that the magic wand symbolizes the absolute

power of the magician is truly justified. The person having fully

comprehended the mystery of the magic wand in its magnitude

will never do his operations of ritual magic without this

implement.

It would lead too far, if I tried to state here all the

possibilities of the magic wand. For the intelligent student these

hints will suffice and will serve as guiding principles. His

knowledge will be enlarged by ample meditation.



The magic wand is a condenser, no matter what material it is

made of or in which way it is manufactured. Charged with the

will of the magician, it expresses a certain power. It may be a

simple

one (the usual type of wand) or a complicated one. All the

wands carved out of wood are regarded as simple wands. But only

a special kind of wood, suiting the purpose, may be used. Thus,

hazelnut or willow are to be used for a wishing-wand. The

wishing-wand is a modification of the magic wand. Though a

wand made of ash-wood may be used as a magic wand for all

magical operations the magician, when carrying out operations of

ritual magic, will only charge it for the purpose of curing people.



The wand made of elder-wood, proves, on account of its analogy

to Saturn, especially efficient when calling up or evoking

elemental

spirits. In making magic wands willow twigs may

also be used for any type, for the willow is a very good fluid

condenser.

The attentive reader will remember that willows are often

struck by lightning because of their high content of water, and

their capability of absorbing. He may also remember the old saying

referring to thunderstorms: "From the willow flee, look for a

beech-tree<. The wood of an oak or an acacia, too, is an excellent

material for making a magic wand.



It is, indeed, very easy to make a magic wand of any of the

kinds of wood mentioned. Cut a twig, approximately 3/8 to 3/4

ins. in diameter and about 12-20 ins. in length, remove its skin

and smooth it. Often the cutting of a magic wand has been

restricted to special astrological periods, and the magician

acquainted

with astrology is free to make use of his knowledge

when making a wand. But such a procedure is by no means

necessary, since the magician knows very well that the stars may

have a certain influence, but that they cannot force the wise to do

anything, as he actually rules them. Thus anybody may, if he

likes, make by himself a magic wand out of one of the materials

mentioned above. If the magic wand is to serve ritual purposes,

you are recommended to use a new knife when cutting the twig.

The knife may later be used for other ritual purposes or other

magical operations. It should, in that case, never be employed for

any common purpose. If the magician does not expect to use the

knife again after having cut and smoothed the twig for the magic

wand, he should bury it in order to prevent it from ever coming

into the hands of anyone else.



Another kind of magic wand is the steel magnet which has to

be equipped with an insulated grip. Take a round steel rod (the

best steel to use is electro-steel, (i. e. magnet steel)

approximately

12-20 ins. long with a diameter of 3/8 ins., polish it and have it

nickel-plated to prevent it from rusting. After having nickel

plated

the rod, the magician may magnetize it by means of an

electric coil, similar to the magnetization of a horse-shoe or the

magnet of an electrical motor. The greater the power of attraction

of the magnet, the better it works. This is the way to get a very

strong steel magnet which will not only do its work as such, but

which will also serve as an excellent magic wand for many

magical and magnetic experiments. First of all one must locate the

north and the south pole on the magic electro magnetic rod and

mark both poles: the south-pole with a minus and the north-pole

with a plus. For the insulation of the rod the middle must be then

wound with a silk ribbon as wide as the palm, i. e. about 3-4 ins.

A rubber hose of the same length or a wooden handle that has

been pierced for this purpose may also be used. Such a wand will

enable the magician to cause many magnetic and magical

phenomena, of which only a few will be treated here.



If the magician is working with the electromagnetic fluid of the

universe, intending to intensify it strongly in the physical world,

then he must take hold of the wand in such a manner that his

right hand will touch the plus-pole and his left hand the minus

pole,

with the ends of the rod touching the middle of his palms.

After this the electrical fluid from the universe has to be led via

the right side of the rod into the magician's body by means of the

imagination. The plus-radiation of the rod (od pole-radiation) will

thus be strongly intensified as it has the same oscillation and

will

make it easier for the magician to store the electrical fluid in

his

body. The same procedure has to be applied to the magnetic fluid

of the south-pole. Vice versa the magician now intensifies the

electrical fluid again, which he has previously stored up in his

body, this time concentrating it into the plus-end of the rod so

strongly that he can make his influence work directly on the

physical world.



The same goes for the magnetic fluid which he

will be able to store up in his left, that is the negative pole

radiation.

The middle of the rod, covered with the insulating material,

will remain neutral. If the magician, by force of imagination, now

concentrates his intention into the condensed electromagnetic

fluid of the steel magnet the wand indeed becomes a magic wand.

By means of the electromagnetic fluid, which radiates as a

brilliant light from the rod, any realization on the physical world

will be possible. Initiates usually apply this wand for influencing

sick people and for all magnetic phenomena. This magic

electromagnetic

wand is, by the Law of the Universe, an excellent condenser

with the same kind of oscillation as the universe, but in a

most subtle way. The person meditating on this will be able to

find other methods easily due to the universal laws. The magician

will, for instance, be able to either pull the fluid out of the

universe like an antenna and store it in his body, or to transfer

it

by force of imagination to other people, near him or far away.

The wand will soon be an indispensable implement for the magician,

for the positive and negative powers concentrated in it will

help him to create the necessary oscillation in his electromagnetic

fluid.



Besides this, there are magic wands charged either with solid

liquid,

or combined condensers. Much could be said about how to

make such rods and which methods are to be used, but I will only

mention the most appropriate to serve the magician in his work.

Take the twig of an elder-bush, 12-20 ins. long and 3/8 to 3/4

ins. in diameter, peel off its skin and smooth it with sand-paper.

Then remove its pith so that you get an elder-pipe. Put a cork on

the one end of the pipe and seal it with sealing-wax, insert a

condenser

(a liquid condenser, if you like) from the other side, then

also seal this end of the pipe airproof. The rod is now ready for

use. You may, if you wish, use a different kind of wood, for

instance,

the twig of an ash, willow or oak tree, or of a hazelnut

bush. The twig, which has no pith must, however, be pierced

through carefully with a fine drill, making a pipe of it. Instead

of

the liquid condenser a solid condenser may be used, the same

kind of condenser described in "Initiation into Hermetics".



It is also possible to use a piece of blotting paper soaked with a

liquid

condenser instead of a solid condenser, which, after it has dried

well, is charged, and then, after having been rolled together, is

inserted

into the hollow space of the rod. The disadvantage of wood

is that it will, as time goes by, moulder or be affected by the

fluid

condenser, which will cause it to become perforated. It might

therefore as well be replaced by a metal-pipe. Those kinds of

metals which are good conductors of heat and electricity are best.

The best of all, of course, is a copper pipe with a diameter of 3/8

to 1/2 inch. In order to avoid any oxidization on the surface of

the metal, the pipe can be nickel, chrome, or tin-plated before it

is

filled with the condenser. One opening must be soldered together

at once, the other immediately after having filled up the pipe;

thus you get a first class magic wand, applicable for all purposes.

Magicians working with the magnetic and the electric fluid in

turn will do well to procure for themselves a rod made out of a

thin iron or steel pipe, as recommended above, for operations

with the magnetic fluid, and a copper-pipe for operations with

the electric fluid. A universal wand is manufactured in the same

manner, with the exception that a nickel-plated brass pipe must

be used, instead of a pipe of copper or iron.



The magician wealthy enough for financial considerations not

to matter can use, instead of the fluid condenser, a condenser

made of semi-precious stones. He will use for his electric fluid, a

copper-rod the inside of which is filled with pulverized amber, an

unsurpassed condenser for this kind of fluid. For his operations

with the magnetic fluid he will, in this case, have to fill up the

steel-pipe with pulverized rock-crystal instead of using a solid

condenser. Rock-crystal, again, is a very good fluid condenser for

the magnetic fluid. But it is also possible to solder two separate

small pipes, thus making a single rod out of them; one half of the

tube is, in this case, filled up with pulverized amber, the other

with pulverized rock-crystal. Having done this, a single rod,

separated in the middle, will contain both kinds of fluid

condensers.

In a case like this, however, the two halves must be connected

by a thin piece of copper - or iron - wire going through

the centre of both pipes. The outside of such a rod may be nickel-

plated. This ideal wand then has a unique fluid capacity and will

serve any magical operation.



There is still another possibility: a wooden rod may by ornamented

with seven rings made of the planetary metals. The

rings should be fixed to the rod in quabbalistic order. That is, a

golden ring (for the Sun) is placed in the middle of the rod and

three metal rings on each side. The following metals may be used

for the rings in question:

Lead corresponding to Saturn

Tin corresponding to Jupiter

Iron corresponding to Mars

Gold corresponding to the Sun

Copper corresponding to Venus

Brass corresponding to Mercury

Silver corresponding to the Moon

Apart from this, the rings may have engravings portraying the

intelligences of the above-mentioned planets. The use of a wand

like this will, in general, be restricted to the conjuration of
intelligences

of the seven planets. When used for other purposes, it

will not prove superior to the other types of wands.



This is all the magician needs to know: from the examples

above he will, by himself, be able to proceed to other variations.

The shape and the size of the wand plays a minor part. The most

important thing about a magic wand is its charging for practical

use, a description of which is given below.

The charge of a magic wand is done in much the same way as

the charge of a magic mirror provided with a fluid condenser

for special purposes. There are many ways of charge for a wand.

They all depend on what the magician intends or wants to use it

for.



Above all, the magician must always be aware of the fact that

the magic wand is a symbol of his will, his strength and his

power, and that it is representing a container like a fluid

condenser

of that power, quality etc. in which he is not only able to

transfer, but also to store up that power, according to his wish,

to

an exceedingly high density. It matters little if such a rod is

nothing but a simple twig, cut and adapted accordingly, or if it is

a complicated wand, saturated or filled up with a fluid condenser.



A magic wand may be charged with:

1. The magician's will power

2. Special qualities, faculties, etc.

3. Magnetism, bio-magnetism, etc.

4. The elements

5. Akasha

6. The help of a light-fluid



Here are some examples for practical use:



With regards to Point 1, charge with will power:

Take into your hand the wand which you have prepared and

concentrate your will on, or rather into, the wand; that is,

transfer your whole consciousness into the wand so that you feel

you are the wand itself. Your concentration must then be filled

with the idea that all your will-power, your strength, is embodied

in the wand. This kind of concentration must last for at least five

minutes without any interruption. Already at the moment of

embodying

your will into the wand you have to think that whenever

you take the wand into your hand your will-power will be put into

action and that everything you want to have happening will

happen. When you have transferred your whole will by utmost

tension and strongest imagination into the wand, you end the

charge of it by wrapping it into a piece of pure silk and putting

it in the same place as your other magic implements.



After some time load the wand again in the same manner, and

every time you repeat the ceremony you must increase the intensity

of your imagination. Never forget that your whole spiritual

will is embodied in the wand. It is important that you limit the

time and if possible, also the space of the power concentrated in

the wand; that is, concentrate your willpower into the wand with

the idea that as long as it will exist it will represent all your

will,

all your power, and remain effective. A wand charged in this way

will remain effective till you die, or should it be your special

wish, even beyond your physical death, that is, it will remain a

magic wand. It may even last for centuries, and its influence may

even increase with time, providing you have charged it with the

wish that its power should grow from one day to the next. The

effectiveness

of the wand will first work on the mental sphere,

then, after some time and repeated charging, on the astral sphere,

and finally even on the physical world. The time required until a

wand, first effective on the mental world, becomes effective in the

physical world depends on the magician's maturity, training and

power of imagination, and also on what he is striving for.



The magician who is well acquainted with quabbalah will know that

to bring about a realization from the mental sphere into the

physical world, usually about 462 repetitions are necessary; by

then the influence from the mental sphere takes shape, that is

becomes condensed in the physical world.





[THE ABOVE MEANS REPETITION IS OFTEN NECESSARY] 462 TIMES IS NOT

NEEDED-

OBVIOUSLY! WORKINGS SHOULD BE DONE ACCORDING TO THE SIGN OF AND
WANING/WAXING OF THE MOON]





This, however, does

not mean that the magician may not be able to bring about the

same kind of success earlier than this. As already pointed out, the

magic wand's power of realization depends on the intention and

purpose for which it has been made and charged. One could

query whether the rod needs to be charged at all, since the

magician's

will should suffice. The magician, however, will not always

be in a position to expand his mental exertion in the manner

necessary for the transfer of one's will. There will be situations

which will exhaust even the best magician, who then would be

incapable

of concentrating to his fullest power of expansion.

However, a skillfully charged magic wand will also have its effect

at moments when the magician is not using his will-power, but is

just concentrating his thoughts on the realization of his wish,

using

his magic wand for this purpose. There is, of course, in this

case a slight danger that a blasphemous person may get hold of

the magic wand in order to realize his own desires, which, if it

happened, would go on the cost of the magician and his rod voltage.



Therefore a magician will always do well not to tell any

person, not even his best friend, for which purpose, in which

respect, and in which manner he has charged his magic wand.

This way of charging a magic wand with one's will power will

generally serve to influence beings, spirits, human beings and

animals which are to act according to the magician's absolute will

and which are to obey the magician's magical power, no matter

whether in this physical world or on the mental or astral planes.

The influence of the magician is not at all restricted to living

entities;

it will also work on dead matter if this has been taken into

consideration at the time of its being charged.



Regarding Point 2: charge with qualities, faculties and the like:

Under charging the wand with certain universal qualities is

understood qualities such as omnipotence or other specific ones

which the magician needs for his realizations in the mental, astral

or physical planes and which are concentrated into the rod in the

same manner as described above. It is possible (similar to the

charge with the magician's will) when charging the wand with

a certain quality, to impel the quality into the wand not only by

embodying one's consciousness into it and by condensing the

power, but also by pulling the quality down from the universe by

means of one's imagination and concentration of will-power,

thereby condensing the quality in the wand, thus charging it.

Constant condensing of a certain quality will make the relevant

spiritual power if concentrated in the wand a direct physical

power. This means that with the wand the magician is in possession

of an accumulator equivalent to a battery powerfully charged

with electricity





Regarding Point 3: charge of the wand with Magnetism,

Bio-magnetism or Prana:

The same procedure is to be followed as described in the

preceding chapter. It is recommended, however, to achieve the

storing of power in the wand without transferring one's

consciousness

into it. This can be effected by mere imagination, by

means of the magician's body or directly from the universe.

In this case, too, the magician must not forget to set limits to

the

power transformed into the wand. He must also, by force of

imagination,

concentrate on the purpose he wishes the wand to

serve. Repeated charge of the wand will make it not only effective

in the mental and astral planes, but also in the physical world.



The experienced magician need not be told again that the power

then dwelling in the wand will radiate to the furthest distances.

If

he introduces the Akasha-principle between himself and his object,

he will be able to bridge time and space, and the power in

question will immediately, by using the wand, work on the person

concerned with the same kind of influence, intensity and success

as it would be if the person were standing right in front of

him. Charged with life-force or magnetism, with the right idea of

setting limits or conditions (that is, in this case, with the idea

that

the life-force or magnetism in the wand will be automatically

intensified

from one day to the other) the wand will easily enable

the magician to call into existence any phenomena that can be

effected

by life-force. With a rod charged in this way, even an

inexperienced

person could work miracles, providing he knew how

to use it.



Therefore it is in the magician's own interest to keep

well the secret of his magic wand. He may also charge his wand in

a manner that it will automatically, without any effort on part of

the will-power of the magician, bring to him a piece of life-force

from the universe, which will then radiate from the wand. This

kind of charging the wand with magnetism - bio-magnetism - is

preferred for curative operations. A magician working in the

medical field may like to make use of this method and heal people

far away from him by force of his wand charged in the above

mentioned manner. In the hands of a magician, a wand charged in

this manner, which can heal people miraculously over the widest

distances, is, no doubt, a blessing for the suffering man.



The charge of a magic wand with an electric, magnetic, or

electromagnetic

fluid is always the same, with the only exception that

the transfer of the magician's consciousness may be omitted. If

only one wand is to be charged, the procedure is a little more

complicated. For the wand to be charged with one fluid only, be

it electric or magnetic, that fluid has to be drawn from the

universe with the help of the imagination und must be impelled

into the rod, to which end the magician has to concentrate on the

wish that whenever he desires something, the fluid inside the rod

will realize at once what he wishes, even though it be directed to

the furthest possible sphere or the Akasha-principle.



If you terminate the accumulation so that the fluid accumulated in

the rod

will intensify itself automatically from the universe, that it

will,

in other words, work by itself bio-electrically and bio-

magnetically,

the rod will grow into an enormously strong battery. The

magician is recommended to accumulate in his own body, prior to

every use, the relevant fluid in order to be strong enough for the

work with the accumulated fluid of the wand. If he is not willing

to do this, he should at least insulate himself before he starts

work

by putting on a pair of pure silk-gloves, preferably manufactured

by himself. Not before he has thus insulated himself should he

take the wand into his hands. Since the magician usually works

with both fluids, he should take the wand charged with the

electrical

fluid into his right hand, and the wand charged with the

magnetic fluid into his left. It is always better to charge two

rods;

one with the electric the other with the magnetic fluid, especially

if simple twigs or wooden wands, which are not impregnated

with a fluid condenser, are used.



This is not absolutely necessary,

but it will make work easier. The magician who has a wand filled

with a fluid condenser, without the wand being parted in the

middle,

will find it more advantageous to have the wand filled with

only one fluid, as this also will make the work easier for him. If

the rod is to be charged electromagnetically, that is if both

fluids

should be prevalent in the wand, the magician must use a rod

which has no hole in its middle. Either end of the rod has to be

pierced instead, and each half of it has to be provided with a

fluid

condenser. The magician must, however, put a mark on either

end to remind him where the electrical and where the magnetic

fluid is. To give the magician a better view, the half provided for

the electrical fluid is usually painted red, the half provided for

the

magnetic fluid is usually painted blue. The rod must then be

charged in such a manner that the largest intensity of the fluids

rest at the ends of the rod and that the middle, insulated with

silk,

remains neutral.



Charging of either half has to be carried out

separately, that means that you may draw from the universe first

the electric fluid, accumulating it in the one end of the rod until

that end is sufficiently loaded, and immediately after that the

magnetic fluid, or vice versa. The magician should never try to

accumulate

the electric fluid several times and then the magnetic

fluid several times; for the equilibrium of the fluids inside the

wand must be maintained. The magician must therefore accumulate

the electrical fluid on one day and the magnetic fluid

the next day. When charging the wand again, he has to go about

in the other way.



The magician will charge a rod with the electrical or the

magnetic, or both fluids, if he wants to make his influence work

by the help of these fluids on objects nearby or far away,

regardless of their being subject to the Akasha or existent in

either the mental, astral or physical world. Special variations of

operations, for instance such as volting or treating sick people,

or

bearing of certain imaginations, will not be dealt with here, for

the person having carefully studied up to this point will now be

able to work out for himself his individual working methods.





Regarding Point 4: the charge with elements:

This kind of charge can be affected in two different ways:



1. The magician, by help of imagination charges his rod - no

matter, whether it be simple or provided with a fluid condenser

- with desire that when using it, the elements will have to obey

him, regardless of which sphere they may belong to. If the wand

has been sufficiently charged with the magician's power over the

elements, then the results wanted will be brought about by the

beings of the elements. The magician will do well to expand his

power to all elements, fire, air, water and earth, so that he will

not be forced to restrict his operations to a single element. When

evoking, the magician should call to his magic circle the heads of

the elements, one after the other, and have them swear to the

magic wand that they will give him their absolute obedience at all

times. After that the magician may, if he likes, engrave on his

wand the relevant symbols or seals of each individual head of the

elements. This, however, is by no means absolutely necessary, for

the wand in the hands of the magician represents the magician's

absolute will and his power over each being of the elements. The

shape of the seals of each head of the elements will become visible

to the magician in his magic mirror or by direct transfer with the

mental body in the realm of the elements. On top of that, the

magician might well, on account of his personal experience and

development, construct a symbol of the relevant element and

have the head of any element swear to it that he will always be the

obedient servant not only of the symbol which the magician has

engraved in the wand, but of the whole wand.



2. The other way to charge the wand with elements is as

follows: The magician draws the element which he wants to use

for his work directly from the universe, that is, its particular

sphere, by force of the imagination, and dynamically accumulates

it in the wand. When working with this kind of loaded wand, the

results wanted are not caused by the beings of the elements, but

directly by the magician himself. The advantage of this way of

charging a wand is that it will give the magician a strong feeling

of

satisfaction, because he is the immediate cause of the magical

effect.

It is necessary, however, that a separate rod be manufactured

for each of the elements and the wands must be stored apart from

each other. To prevent the magician from mixing them up, he

must be sure that he can easily differentiate between them by

their outside appearance. Each wand may, for this purpose, have

the colour of the relevant element. At the beginning the results

will only occur on the mental plane, but prolonged use and

repeated charging will make it work also on the astral plane, and

eventually also on the physical world. This kind of wand will

enable its owner to influence all manners of spirits, men, animals,

even inanimate nature, by the element, similar to the influence of

the electromagnetic fluid. Good magicians are able to cause, by

the force of such a wand, marvelous natural phenomena, for in-

stance,

change of weather, acceleration of the growth of plants,

and many other things of that nature.



Regarding Point 5: Charge with the Akasha-principle:

When applying this principle, the charge of the magic wand is

possible, but not any kind of accumulation, since the Akasha

principle

cannot be intensified. But repeated meditation on the

qualities of the Akasha-principle with all its aspects in the magic

wand will finally enable the magician to create causes in the

Akasha-principle, which will itself realize in the mental and

astral

planes, and also in the physical plane. Using a rod charged in the

manner described, the magician will be able to impel, by force of

imagination, a power or quality via the wand into the Akasha,

which then, like a volt created by an electromagnetic fluid, will

have direct influence on the three-dimensional world from above.



Regarding Point 6: Charge with Light-Fluid:

The universal light, from which everything has been created, is

to be accumulated in the wand by help of imagination and

consideration

of the qualities of the light, so that it will shine like a

sun (concentrated universal light).



Besides this, all other

measures must be taken, like, for instance, the insulation of the

rod with white silk, its secure keeping and so on.

Not only will the magician be able to work, with the help of

the wand, in the physical world; he will also be in position to

transfer, with his mental or astral hand, or with both, the mental

and astral shape of the wand into the relevant plane and will

have his influence work in these planes without having to hold

the wand in his physical hand. In case of the exteriorization of

his

whole mental body, he can take with him not only the mental

shape of his magic wand with all its qualities into the mental

plane but also the mental shape of all magic implements and

aids, and there he is able to operate as if he were present with

his

whole physical body to carry out the operations.



Never should the magician forget that the wand represents his true

will in

its

completeness, absoluteness and power, which may well be compared

with a magical oath, and therefore many magicians have

their magic wand symbolize not only their will-power, but also

the magical oath, which, from the hermetic point of view, may

never and can never be broken. Many magicians carve into their

wand the symbols appropriate to their will-power and the charge

of the wand. Universal symbols, signs, seals of intelligences,

divine names, and the like, may serve this purpose as far as they

represent the true will-power of the magician.





[FOR SATANISTS, SATANIC SYMBOLS SHOULD BE CARVED INTO THE WAND]





The details of this

particular matter are left entirely to the magician's

individuality.

The magician will know from these instructions how he has to go

about reaching his aim, and it is up to him to provide, if he

likes,

his wand with a secret name standing for his will-power. It will

also be clear to the practicing magician that such a name must be

kept a secret and must never, under any circumstance, be

spoken.
