advice on proper way to use a wand (wiccan)?

Answer 1

Lökásennä is partially correct -- SOME Wiccans use the wand to represent the element of air, place it in the east, and use it to cast the circle. Other Wiccans use the athame in the air/east/circle casting position, and instead place the wand in the fire/south position.

From "Wicca For the Rest of Us":

"Wand: Used in directing energy and inviting spirits. Some view the athame and wand as interchangeable, but there is a significant difference. The athame commands while the wand welcomes. Choice of tool depends upon the power being approached and the relationship one wishes to enter in with it. One does not command a god to appear, for example.

Some people craft different wands for specific functions, or even for specific spells. The use dictates the type of wood used and any stones or markings applied to it."

Answer 2

Ask ten wiccans and get ten different answers. Just do what you feel is right there is no right or wrong way to use a wand. A great book to answer some of your question is "Wicca: A guide for the Solitary Practitioner" by Scott Cunningham.

Answer 3

Well, I'm not Wiccan nor do I use wands in my practice. However from what I do know is that Wiccan's use them to represent the air element and use them to cast a circle. You'd probably want to hold it in your dominant hand.
