Willow is Sacredto the Moon, Omulan or Diana, Ceridwen,.Hecate, Circe, Hera, andPersephone, all death aspects of the Triple Moon Goddess, and was often used by the Witches in Greece. In western tradition it is a symbol of mourning and unlucky love. The Latin name for the weeping willow refers to the psalm in which the Hebrews mourn their captivity in Babylon by the willows. A Female symbol, the moon owns the willow. It is the tree that loves water most and is sacred to the Moon Goddess who is the giver of dew and moisture, generally. The Willow is the tree of enchantment. Can be made into a tool to make wishes come true.
Willow is a wood of the Water Element and is considered to be feminine in nature. Willow is a tree of emotion, love, intuition, and poetic inspiration. Awn is pronounced ahh-oon and is related to as the Druid term awen, the sacred word of inspiration. It is linguistically rooted to Eranor awë, "inspiration" and hwenwë, "breath." Omulan is the White Goddess, who has affinities with both the Celtic goddesses Rhiannon and Arianrhod. She is the daughter of Shava and Vashaan, and sister to Islaar, god of magick
and thought. As the Moon she rules the cycles of female life and becoming: menstruation, birth, and menopause. By extension she is mistress of hearth and home and all whatever is considered the traditional sp of motherhood. As the great luminary of the night she also is Astarte, goddess of witchcraft and moon magick, which is to say magick that aims at transformation and natural harmony. Willow is especially suited to works of the New Moon, magick related to cycles of fertility or creativity, spells of glamour and bewitchment, change, relationship and female rites of passage. The Dark Moon, as it is called, is the time best suited for spells of dissolving and banishment, the time to get rid of old habits that no longer serve a good purpose in your life. Traditionally associated with witches, willow is the perfect wand wood for the ritual of "Drawing Down the Moon." As the source of salicylic acid, the main ingredient in aspirin, willow is also a wood appropriate for spells intended to remove pain and give comfort as well as death and rebirth, cyclical energy, change, emotion, and will. Willow is an amazing wood for magickal tools because it is already perfectly aligned to magick (the movement of energy guided by will ). This wood reacts to the will of the one who is utilizing it, enhancing it accordingly. The stronger the will, the more effective the wood.

In ceremonial magic/magick, practitioners use Wands for the channeling of energy --serving a similar purpose to the Athame although the two have their distinct uses. While an athame is generally used to command, a wand is seen as more gentle and is used to invite or encourage. The wand can represent both the elements of air and fire depending upon the path the practitioner follows. Though traditionally made of wood, they can also consist of metal or crystal, or a combination of many materials. Our Wands are primarily Carved from wood gatd in Rural Iowa.
