Handcarved wand of Poplar wood harvested from the Forest. In ancient Greece Poplar was considered a funerary tree and was planted at the temples of Chthonic deities such as Hekate and Persephone. A poplar is said to grow in the underworld by the well of memory.
This wand has been carved with chevrons – an ancient symbol of water and the Goddess – as well as a small owl perched at the end. The chevrons have been painted saffron and the whole wand itself is the yellow of the Saffron-robed goddess called Hekate.
