A beautiful mini wand pendant made of English Gorse Wood which I found while visiting Dorset, I bring many pieces of wood home with me, many become runes and ogham, some of the more unusual pieces become pendants.
I carved the end into a point and sanded the wood smooth, leaving the bark with it’s knot for the handle. It's had a coat of lovely beeswax polish to finish the wand off.
This little wand pendant is about 13 cm in length. It hangs on a generous length of waxed cotton cord with a gorse wood bead, ready for you to wear or use as a functional, if small wand.
The more you wear wood, the more it will pick up the natural oils of your skin and the softer and more beautiful the wood will become. Please do not wear your pendant in the bath or the shower - it won't appreciate a soaking).
Gorse wood is associated with passion, beauty and sensuality and is one of the trees associated with the Celtic Tree Ogham. Gorse is a prickly green shrub rather than a tree that grows often on cliff tops. it has gorgeous yellow flowers that bloom most of the year and are coconut scented. It’s also sometimes known as furze and by other folk names
All my wood is sustainable - either gathered after storms or from needed pruning/forestry/tree maintenance.
