Oh, good. REAL magic wands. I don't know about you, but I would be seriously pissed if someone ever had the nerve to sell me a FAKE wand. You know, one that doesn't actually work.

The wand will work perfectly if you simply follow directions.


Step 1: Say a real magic spell...

I tend to feel that the word pagan is a little to general to be useful.

I kind of feel Jambo is a little too (place colorful noun here) to be useful.

But heeey.. .think of all the little old ladies you can beat. The website did say they were sturdy. Oh yeah, a sort of Tanya Harding Wand Beating event on Ice... I can see it now... hm..

Including spells, it seems - Our Wands do come with a small booklet that shows you how to get started working with your Wand, and how to dedicate and consecrate it. The Wands also come with a small booklet of Spells. These are simple Spells for Healing, Prosperity, Love, Claiming Your Power, Balance etc.

Of course, they won't work if you're a Muggle.

Wiccan religious rites specifically - they believe spells can actually manifest but can backfire threefold.
If you said it didn't work they probably would just ignore you - they believe spells manifest in a way that looks like coincidence.

For example if they cast a prosperity spell they'd be more likely to expect to find a tenner on the pavement or go into Nobles and win the jackpot from a fruit machine or win a bet on the horses. They wouldn't expect a magical being just to appear from no where with a sack of money.

"think of all the little old ladies you could beat" - Suezoled

I looked at the size of these wands and they would OK for that purpose here in Mass. I don't know if it's been taken off the books, but there was a law here making it legal to beat your wife if the rod was not thicker than your thumb.

I have to wonder... did you read that in the statutes of the State of Massachusetts? Or did a guy you met in a bar tell you?

Good question.


I read it somewhere and never researched it. I'll see if I can find it.

It was also in The Boondock Saints.

OK

Found some stuff on the Straight Dope website under 'Rule of Thumb'

The concensus seems to be that it is not true. Some judges in the 19th century sited an 'ancient law' regarding the right to beat your wife with a certain size rod but rejected it. Mass. never had such a law. It seems as though the story was seized upon by feminist to further their cause.


Thanks Doc for getting me to research it.

I've read an investigation into the legend, which came to 2 conclusions

1) The law really did exist .... somewhere. I thought it was !7th Century England, but ICBW.

2) The phrase "rule of thumb" has no connection at all with this law.
