A World of Wands

McCormick Wands returns to our pages with a new selection of wands, this time in a slender, black and red style.  One of the things I love about wand collecting is the sheer variety of versions available.

There Was A Crooked Wand...

I'm not sure why, but I've never connected with the Harry Potter franchise.  In my circle of friends and family there are no shortage of fans.  That includes my son, who has an impressive collection of both licensed and unlicensed props from the wizarding world.  

Ultimately, his fandom transferred over to me in one small way- wands.  I started browsing the work of wandmakers to find suitably magical holiday gifts for him.  In the process, I began picking up a few for myself.  The attraction is similar to the one I have for collecting Cthulhu idols.  It's just cool to see all the wild variations on a basic theme.

 Which brings me to this wonderfully gnarled antique maple wand from McCormick Wands.  I'm not sure if the spalted effect is natural or part of the finish, but it's visually impressive either way.

Master Wands

These purpleheart master wands from McCormick Wands scream "Drow" to me.  The winding tentacle and purple and black color scheme?  Right out of the original D series of modules for AD&D that I played through over forty years ago.  

 Sweet fancy Moses, I'm old.

Tools of the Trade

This selection of wizarding wands comes to us from MacFie's Wand and Wizard Shop.  I like the shorter style of wands.  The long, slender ones can certainly look nice, but they seem too delicate for practical daily use.  YMMV, of course.
