Does anyone have any tips on how to bless and link the elements of earth better in a staff? I already have a staff ready along with some materials. The staff itself is six feet three inches, weighs about 11 lbs, and is from a branch of the American hornbeam. It took me 14 days to whittle and sand it to be held comfortably in any position and I only whittled and sanded it between the hours of 12-1 pm and 12-1 am. I currently have 15 ritual candles three each of the colors Red, Green, Blue, Black, and White. Lastly I have 78 sticks of chalk a diameter of half an inch wide and four inches long.
I know that on occasion the characteristics of the wielder need to taken into account as such I shall give mine if it may help.
I stand 6'1, weigh 178, and I am a Scorpio along with having been born in the year of the Rat.
