Ebony Wand Traditional Length

A dense black hardwood, native to India and western Africa, ebony is synonymous with luxury. Ebony carvings have been prized for thousands of years, with some specimens being found in Egyptian tombs. The small tree yields a silky, tightly grained wood that rewards fine craftsmanship and a high polish.

This wood draws from the deeper levels of the mind. A powerful wood used for the defense, reversal, and dispelling of dark magic. Combined with the force of all the elements: earth, fire, wind, water, and quintessence, this is a truly diverse tool. Ebony is regarded as a wood of pure power, amplifies without discriminating, and is excellent for defensive magic.

Blackest of the black woods, ebony is regarded as one of the most powerful and indiscriminate of all magical woods. It channels energy of all types freely, for any purposes. It is often used for potent protection spells or the making of amulets.

Magical properties: power, purity, balance, protection and luck.

This is a wood that does not guide, but instead lends its power to whatever the bearer intends. Its amoral nature means that ebony is best suited to the mature practitioner. Ebony is a fine choice for anyone for a variety of reasons, mainly due to the fact that it is only one of a handful of woods in the world that are finely balanced between what people would consider feminine / masculine traits. It is uniquely balanced between all five elements, calling to any of them with ease and also forming a bond with its holder, regardless of the energy they present. Due to this, it has been historically considered one of the most prized and finest woods for wand making. It also does not matter the species of ebony as they all exhibit this signature.
