Staff & Stang
« on: August 14, 2018, 02:16:34 pm »
So I was recently given a section of Rowan/Mountain Ash that came off my friend's tree during a hurricane here last year. I've always wanted a staff so I'm quite excited to get to make my own.

Who else has a staff or stang? Did you create yours? If so,  how did your creation process work?
How do you use yours for ritual work, etc?
Feel free to share pictures if you like! (I'll throw up a photo soon, the piece is about 5' 3"-ish... so a couple of inches taller than me  ;D)

I have both - a large ceremonial stang that is made from an old iron pitchfork and a rams skull with a double twisted set of horns and a personal one which I made from blackthorn. That bears a deer skull which is detachable so I an use it as a thumbstick if I want to take it out somewhere without drawing attention to myself.

The personal one often serves as an altar when I'm out.  I have a deep affinity with blackthorn which is why I chose to use that wood.  No photographs I'm afraid. I don't publish pictures of my active working tools.

The large ceremonial one I'll dress for the seasons and it's big enough for me to have a candle between the horns which is lit during some ritual use.

Call me odd, but I had to actually look up what a stang even was. Most people that I know of call the both of them a staff regardless.
