Custom 1 of 1 Wand

★

♡ Holly comes from the genus Ilex pronounced /alexis/ which is comprised of about 480 species of flowering plants in the family Aquifoliaceae. The species are evergreen or deciduous trees, shrubs and climbers from western and southern europe, northwest africa, southwest africa and southwest asia. The evergreen holly symbolized the enduring nature of life during the dark days of winter.

♡ Holly is one of the rarer kinds of wand woods; traditionally considered highly protective, it works most happily for those who may need help overcoming a tendency to anger and impetuosity. At the same time, holly wands often choose owners who are engaged in some dangerous and often spiritual quest.

• Holly is the whitest wood in the world and is a symbol of immortality. It is associated with the grand majesty of the unicorn and is known for its ability to protect against lightening. There's evidence that the prickly shape of holly leaves helps conduct lightening, protecting the plant itself and the neighboring trees and structures form damage. 
• Holly has a masculine energy, it draws from the element of fire. It embodies protection and peace. Holly wood can enhance other forms of magick and will lend itself to animal work, cleansing, healing and protection and in particular banishing unwanted entities. It is useful in consecration, in spells of abundance, beauty and luck.
• A wand of Holly seeks strength and goodwill in those who wield it.
