Properties of Vogel Cut Healing Wands & Marcel Vogel's Crystal Wisdom
Marcel Vogel worked for IBM for 27 years doing research and development. He developed the magnetic coating for IBM’s disc drive, which acts as the storage unit for a computer's memory, and he created the first liquid crystal displays, or LCDs.
From his experimental work with crystals, Vogel learned that by pointing a crystal at another person, the crystal would amplify the person’s thoughts and emotions. This often also led to putting the individual into an altered state of consciousness. The next step was for Vogel to utilize the quartz crystals for therapeutic purposes.
Marcel Vogel sought to use the power of science and of the lapidary arts to perfect crystalline forms of nature in order to maximize their potential for receiving, amplifying and transmitting Universal Life Force Energy charged with the intent to heal and with the force of love. Vogel cut his crystals to harmonize with the natural quartz structure to enhance the energetic properties of the wand for healing purposes, and the result is also aesthetically pleasing.
To learn more about Marcel Vogel and his techniques for crystal healing, read the first several chapters of his never-before-published autobiography, edited by Curtis Lang, which is in our Vogel Archives.
You'll find Marcel Vogel's instructions for using crystals for healing and meditation in the book along with a lot of other very important information for all metaphysical rockhounds.
Vogel believed that the most important thing to remember in working with faceted crystals for healing is that the purpose of the faceting should be to amplify and transmit an increasingly coherent stream of energy to a subject.
Some hexagonal quartz crystal wands occur naturally with six more or less equilateral sides and more or less equal triangular termination facets. Energy healers discovered that these six sided wands amplifed the energy being transmitted by the wand when the termination facets on the female end created a more obtuse angle and when the termination facets on the male end created a more acute angle.
In a naturally formed quartz crystal of somewhat irregular shape and symmetry, the energy within the crystal tends to move through the crystal in a less directed way than the Vogel style cuts.
But when a crystal had a very definite symmetry, especially the hexagonal symmetry, then the energy gathers in the larger, receptive end of the crystal, and if directed by a knowledgeable human hand, travels in a series of tighter and tighter concentric circles around the interior of the crystal, and down into the tip of the male end of the crystal, where it would be emitted as a much more coherent stream of energy.
Energy healers also discovered that when the sharp male tip of the healing wand is congruent with the C-axis of the crystal, exactly centered within the circle formed when you look head-on at the male end of the crystal, this made the energetic flow stronger and more coherent.
When the sharp tip on the female end of the crystal, where the six termination facets meet, is congruent with the C-axis of the crystal, exactly centered within the circle formed when you look head-on at the female end of the crystal the energetic flow becomes stronger and more coherent.
Total symmetry created the crystal healer's version of the laser beam.
Marcel Vogel's healing wands were refined artistic versions of this well-known type of hexagonal natural healing wand, known for millennia to energy healers worldwide.
According to Marcel Vogel's written specifications for Vogel healing wands, good Vogel wands should have precisely equal facets on the shaft and tips; good clarity, preferably 90% or more; a well-defined C-axis that runs parallel to the shaft; and termination tips centered in the very middle of the shaft. The male and female terminations should be sharp, and the male should be more acute than the female. The female termination should be larger than the male tip.
The male termination tip of this gorgeous Vogel healing wand is fashioned to form an extremely sharp tip designed to maximize the coherence and strength of energy streaming from the wand, while the female termination tip was cut a little wider, to maximize the area available for input of Universal Life Force energy from Source, and particularly from the palm chakra of the crystal healing practitioner.
As the prana spirals down the shaft of the wand, the energy stream is amplifed every time it encounters a facet on the shaft. The super-charged energy stream coalesces at the male end of the wand, and is emitted as a highly coherent laser-like beam for use in meditation, vibrational healing and subtle communications.
Energy and crystal healers prize Vogel cut quartz crystals to this day. The art of cutting crystals for use in healing requires extensive knowledge of the high art of crystal-cutting and polishing, an intuitive feel for the subtle energies involved, and an awareness of the needs of the energy healer who will be using the wand.
In his early experiments with cutting healing crystals, which he conducted for many years, Marcel Vogel saw a 3 dimensional version of the Kabbalistic Tree of Life in a dream, which is shaped very much like four sided crystal wand with double termination tips. He created his first 4-sided healing wands in that shape, and told the story of their origin in the crystal healing workshops he gave students around the world.

Over time, Marcel also designed 6, 8, 12 and 13 sided double terminated crystal healing wands and 6 sided single terminated meditation crystals with a flat base. At first he and his family cut them and sold them to students of crystal healing. Later they involved other cutters as well.
Since Marcel’s death in 1991, crystal designers and cutters have created healing crystal wands of new types with incredibly complex designs based upon principles of sacred geometry, which are still true to the basic ideas of Marcel Vogel.
Sacred Geometry of the 36 Sided Vogel Wand
The energetic qualities of the 36 sided Vogel wand can be ascertained by exploring the significance of the number 36 in numerology and sacred geometry.
The number 36 in numerology resonates with the energy of 9, because 3+6 = 9.
In the Hebrew Kabbalah, The word truth is Emet:
Reading from right to left, Emet is composed of three Hebrew letters: aleph-mem-tav = 1 + 40 + 400 = 441 = 4+4+1 = 9 in the spiritual science of the Kabbalah.
The number 9 symbolizes inner truth.
This Kabbalistic concept of truth is similar to the concept of truth found in the ancient Hindu sacred texts, which are much older than the Kabbalah.
In the Vedanta system of yoga and Hindu metaphysics, satya, meaning truth, represents the Unity that underlies the apparent duality of being.
The sacred mantra AUM represents the Unity
underlying the apparent multiplicity of the Universe
In Vedanta, this truth is the Cosmic vibration, energy and consciousness that is the creative force emanating, unfolding, structuring and sustaining the entirety of the 4-dimensional space time continuum we inhabit here on planet Earth.
The number nine has some very interesting properties, when look at its numerological significance.
If we multiply nine by any other number the resulting number will always be 9.
For example, 9 x 3 = 27 = 2+7 = 9.
Likewise, 9 x 7 = 63 = 6+3 = 9.
And, 9 x 4 = 36, 3+6=9.
In Kabbalistic numerology, the number nine also has a deep affinity with inner strength, and thus with the Universal Life Force energy which sustains all life, and which is found in abundance in legendary heroes and spiritual teachers.
This Universal Life Force Energy, also known as prana in Hindu Ayurveda and as chi in Chinese medicine, is the foundation of all energy healing work, and essential to the use of crystals in healing and meditation.
In the Kabbalistic Tree of Life, Geburah is the fifth sephira emanating from Divine Source, and the Hebrew letters making up the name Geburah total 216 = 2+ 1 + 6 = 9.
According to Western mystic and author Rudolf Steiner, who founded the spiritual school of Anthroposophy, Geburah is the site of Universal Life Force Energy!
The 36 sided Vogel wand exhibits a sacred geometrical structure that resonates with the powerful energy of Geburah, a potent source of the Universal Life Force energy that is essential in all crystal healing practices and in meditation.
