The wand primarily has two applications. The first is invocation and the second is directing energy. During circle casting, the witch uses invocation to call the quarters (North, East, South and West) and to invite the Goddess and God to be present at the rite. During Magick work, the energy that is raised is concentrated in the wand and then directed at the appropriate moment at the "item" to be charged with the spell's power and intent.

I found out that inverting the wand “pointing it at you” with particular stones and crystal can heal you. It is a good practice to do this with healing stone because if you use the wand the regular way you are sending the healing energy away from you. So heal thyself before working with others.

There are various types of wands to use in magic

Personal Power Wand
a personal power wand is the first type of wand one should procure. Personal power wands are highly customized and should be made from a gemstone of special importance to the wand-bearer -- this can be a birthstone or some other gem of importance. Other gems may be added to the personal power wand to amplify the wand's effects. Generally, these should be attached using silver wire. A personal power wand can add strength to healing rites and they may improve the quality of meditation.

Power Rods
Power rods are large, simple wands generally made of two large clear crystals bound together. As with all crystal wands, power rods have an energy receiving end (female) and an energy emitting end (male) and each has distinct healing uses. Power rods are basic and powerful. They are useful for enhancing communication and environment but are too blunt to be pointed directly at someone for healing purposes.

Laser Wands
Lasers, in this sense, refer to highly refined long, slender quartz crystals. These crystal wands are highly useful in directed healing as they emit a powerfully focused stream of energy. Laser wands are useful for directed healing or creating energy barriers. These beautiful and powerful healing tools can also be used to create energy links between distant people. They can also be used for Distant Reiki purposes.
