Rustic wood railings are an accent that can be added to any home. They bring the magic of nature and
our heritage indoors. Depending on the wood your railings are made of, you'll have magical properties
built right into your home.
All trees carry magical properties, many of which are used to create wands, be burnt in candle spells
themselves, or added as chips to charms. The idea is that every variety of wood carry a particular
myth of legend with it. This means, when putting rustic wood railings in your home, choose the type
of wood wisely - to make sure that you control the type of energy that you are inviting in.
Some wood species (and their magical properties) that are used commonly found in rustic wood railings
are:
- Aspen - creates otherworldly communication
- Pine - Power and prosperity
- Birch - Blessings and health
- Oak - Protection and strength
- Red Oak - Inner transformation and harmony
Many custom builders hand pick each log for its unique characteristics. The common things that are
looked for are forks, curves, burls, and especially porcupine scars. Not only do these characterics
make the finished piece a work of art: but anyone into spirituality would deduce that wood holds the
energies created from the life experience of that specific tree.
Consider adding any number of rustic wood railings to your garden. Instead of a fence or artificial
edging around your garden, utilize the beauty and magic of rustic wood railings and arbors. Surround
your garden with Aspen railings for communication with the spiritual world or Red Oak railings to
bring your garden harmony.
The trees surrounding us hold power. Tapping into the energy of rustic wood railings are the perfect
way to incorporate vibrant energy into any home design. Be sure to choose the correct species to
work into your daily intentions becuase once it is rooted in your home its magical properties will be
as well.
