There really is a wizard who makes wands to for spells and healing.
Richard Carter is that wizard.
He makes magical tools For Mystical Moments in Slathwaite, began producing an array of the objects.
They are some of the intriguing items on sale at the store, with his partner Jackie Restall.
Richard explained the wands saying: "You can make spells with them and they’re also very good for healing."
"Each type has its own properties. Oak is for strength and when you’re feeling down you can meditate with it and feel the vibrations from it."
"But just having one in your home shows that you’re open to spirituality – for some people they mark the beginning of their spiritual journey."
"You either believe in it or you don’t, it’s each to their own. But are they not just nice pieces of woodwork at least?"
Each person who purchases a wand must cleanse it themselves.
“As the wands have been handled by me they’ve been impregnated with my energy."
“The best way to cleanse one is by running it over incense then putting it in each hand, putting your other over it until you can feel the energy.
“Then place it in the hand you write with to feel the magic energy coming into the wand.”
Jackie’s shop includes other spiritual objects and she plans to open a spiritual therapy room soon.
"We started making spiritual items to sell and toured around Wiccan, Pagan and other spiritual events."
"We’re eclectic spiritualists – we have lots of interests and don’t subscribe to being one type like a pagan."
One of her main interests are crystals.
"The crystals work by giving out a vibrational energy which is created when you hold them."
"Each type of crystal has its own healing properties - I sleep with some under my pillow and I think they work."
“The response to us has been really positive so far."
