Description
This natural, untreated Fat 24 Sided Citrine Vogel Wand is 4.85 inches long and weighs 226 grams or 7.97 ounces. This wand has a very comfortable fit in the hand for a lightworker or meditator. It has a very nice feel to it, well-proportioned, slim, and tapering to a definitive point.
This wand comes from the collection of Marcel Vogel's student Paul Jensen, creator of the Tools for Evolution line of sacred geometry jewelry, based in Casper Wyoming.
In some of these pix, you'll see flat reflective mica like inclusions within the shaft of this gorgeous golden wand, but none of them come near the unblemished surface of the crystal wand, which displays a fine finish.
The female termination tip of this Vogel crystal looks like a small pyramid, because this wand was cut to mimic the proportions of the Great Pyramid at Giza, which is thought to be a mammoth antenna and amplifier for Universal Life Force Energy, built with Phi ratio proportionality.
Citrine stimulates the crown chakra, our doorway to Cosmic Consciousness, and helps unite the seven lower chakras and the physical body with the energy frequency of the Higher Self, aligning the eighth chakra with the rest of the energy body.
In addition, citrine, which contains iron oxide, possesses a remarkable energetic affinity with Archangel Michael. Esoteric Christianity teaches that Michael's flashing sword of karmic liberation corresponds to the iron rich meteoritic showers visible in the fall season in the Northern Hemisphere.
This precision light instrument, with a unique cut based upon the specifications of legendary scientist and crystal healer Marcel Vogel, is a powerful subtle energy tool, and can be used for many kinds of healing work as well as for meditation.
Mineralogical and Metaphysical Properties of Citrine
Citrine is a powerful semi-precious stone which is a rare, more energetically powerful form of quartz crystal, characterized by a yellow color, ranging from white to deep copper. It is less common in nature than amethyst (another member of the quartz family, and one of the two semi-precious stones present in ametrine) but both are found in quartz veins, as well as volcanic locations and elsewhere in nature.
The color of citrine derives from small amounts (approximately 40 parts per million) of iron in the quartz. The difference between citrine and amethyst is only the oxidation state of the iron present in the quartz. Citrine typically is formed when an amethyst becomes heated to the point where the iron held within the crystal undergoes a further stage of oxidation.
Citrine activates, opens and energizes the third chakra, including the navel and solar plexus, stimulating both the physical body and the mind, increasing endurance and elevating energy levels while promoting emotional balance (unlike other stimulants such as caffeine). Citrine is an excellent stone for clearing the aura of negative emotions.
Because it energizes the navel/solar plexus chakra, Citrine is said to aid in digestion and to activate the thymus, which regulates our immune system, thus promoting health and well-being. In addition, citrine is said to provide a feeling of comfort and optimism. I must admit, that when I wear or work with citrine, I have a great sense of well being and protection.
Citrine also stimulates the crown chakra, our doorway to Cosmic Consciousness, and helps unite the seven lower chakras and the physical body with the energy frequency of the Higher Self, aligning the eighth chakra with the rest of the energy body.
In our experience, citrine cleanses the emotional and etheric bodies, and stimulates the holder’s vital energies and physical body. It imparts a strong sense of protection if worn on the body or placed in a room where energy work takes place or groups gather.
In addition, citrine is an ideal gemstone for protection. Used to strengthen the aura and surround the bearer in a bubble of golden light, citrine provides the bearer with a safe, secure personal space, free from the interference of negative or unwanted individual or collective thought forms, deleterious emotional states projected by others, and even inauspicious astrological influences, which can be literally burned away when they encounter such a strong golden aura as citrine helps to create.
Used in energy healing, citrine is said to transmit the golden light of unity consciousness, which is tuned to the very highest vibrations of an open eighth chakra -- the chakra above the crown of the head, said by the Western New Age chakra system to be the location of the Higher Self.
When Jane and I have used citrine in Reiki and crystal energy sessions with clients, they have reported feeling a golden glow around them. We have also found that citrine is a powerful tool for extracting negative energies, gently dissolving energy blocks, and releasing negative emotions during sessions.
The Archangel Michael Connection
This powerful Citrine Vogel Crystal Wand contains hematite, or iron oxide, giving it a distinctive golden-orange hue, and a distinctive metaphysical connection with Archangel Michael.
Esoteric Christianity makes a link between hematite and Archangel Michael, and a quartz crystal containing hematite can provide the bearer with a powerful connection to Michael, providing access to the Archangel's loving wisdom and power to dissolve illusion through the activity of his famous sword, the sword of Ultimate Truth.
During the Libran month, the last half of September and first half of October, in the northern hemisphere, the Draconid meteor showers will be visible.
At this time of year, when sensational meteor showers, largely composed of iron, traditionally streak across the night sky, Esoteric Christian philosopher Rudolph Steiner’s clairvoyant vision saw the traditional flashing iron sword of Michael.
Mineralogical and Metaphysical Properties of 24 Sided Vogel Wands
The 24 Sided Vogel Wand resonates with the energies of the number 6, because in numerology, 24 = 2 + 4 = 6.
Natural quartz crystals exhibit hexagonal crystal structures.
The hexagon is the most efficient geometrical shape that can be used to fill a given space with units of equal size, with no wasted space.
The Star of David, also known as the Star of Solomon, is a hexagram star that appears in Marcel Vogel's famous Star of David pendants, used by crystal healers and others to protect themselves from unwanted ambient energies and to project a stronger auric field.
Clear Quartz Star of David Pendants
The Sixth Sephira on the Kabbalistic Tree of Life is Tiphareth, associated with Christ Consciousness, with all Solar Deities, and with the third, solar plexus chakra, the Manipura chakra.
Tiphareth sits exactly in the middle of the Tree of Life, and paths radiate out from this sacred center, just as the Sun sits in the center of the Solar System and the Sun's energy radiates outward in all directions.
Archangel Michael, whose name means "similar to God" is associated with Tiphareth.
Tiphareth sits in the middle of the Kabbalistic Tree of Life
In a certain limited sense, the individual who has attained the Tiphareth initiation also becomes "similar to God", a "son of God", or a "daughter of God". This is the essence of Christ Consciousness.
When the Magician or the Priestess on the Kabbalistic path obtain the knowledge and understanding of the Sphere of Tiphareth, they are empowered to synthesize the most accurate imagined image of the Universe possible to a person who has not achieved Unity Consciousness, or Nirvana.
The 24 Sided Vogel Wand, made of quartz crystal, is attuned to the energy signature of Tiphareth, the Sixth Sphere on the Tree of Life, which is symbolized by the energy of Divine Fire.
The tetrahedron, which is the building block of the hexagonal crystalline lattice structure that makes up quartz crystals, is associated with the tetrahedron in the Western Mystery School Tradition, which utilizes the five Platonic solids to identify the five sacred elements of alchemical transformation.
What could be more appropriate than a Vogel wand with a sacred geometry that resonates with the family of quartz crystals and the elemental energy of Divine Fire, as conceived and transmitted from that highly elevated Christ Consciousness from which healing energy flows, just as light flows from the Sun?
Properties of Vogel Cut Healing Wands & Marcel Vogel's Crystal Wisdom
This precision light instrument, with a unique cut based upon the specifications of legendary scientist and crystal healer Marcel Vogel, is a powerful subtle energy tool, and can be used for many kinds of healing work as well as for meditation.
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 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.
Model created by Robert Wang, from his book The Qabalistic Tarot
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.
