A beautiful, one of a kind, Rowan wood Staff, with an amazing twist in it's shank, manifested by nature herself. Nature forms these twists by Honeysuckle vines growing up the branch, which follow the movement of the sun from east to west and thus twining around the branch tightly and influencing the growth of the tree into the twist formation. In folklore and legend the Rowan is revered as a tree of great vitality, it is also known as The Quickening Tree, as it brings a quickening of energy to all levels of awareness and consciousness. The Rowan is regarded as a protective tree and were planted from the earliest times at sacred sites for protection. The Rowan is associated with divination and psychic abilities. The wood for this staff has been ecologically sourced, in a magical woodland, on the banks of the river Wye, here in the ancient shires of Mid Wales. This staff is very strong and sturdy and will withstand heavy weights. It is superbly finished to a very high standard with several coats of oil. The height of this staff is 182 cm. However I can cut this staff down to any suitable height for you. Just leave a note for me at the checkout of the height you require.
