A wand consists of a thin, straight, hand-held stick of wood, ivory, or metal. Generally, in modern language, wands are ceremonial and/or have associations with magic but there have been other uses, all stemming from the original meaning as a synonym of rod and virge, both of which had a similar development. The Great Book of Saint Cyprian (aka Ciprianillo) gives step-by-step instructions on how to make a magic wand. - 1 Metrology

| The wand is also a pre-Norman unit of length used in the British Isles equal to approximately the modern metre, apparently dating from an early use as a yardstick (originally as a generic term). The 'wand' survived for a time under the Normans. Then when the yard was established, the wand came to be known as the 'yard and the hand', and then disappeared, either slowly or by being banned by law. The old English unit of 1007 millimetres was called a 'wand', and although the 'yard' was created to replace the wand, the wand was still used for some centuries because of its convenience as part of an old English decimal system that included: - 1 digit (base of long finger) about 20 millimetres
- 10 digits = 1 small span (span of thumb and forefinger) 200 millimetres
- 10 small spans = 1 armstretch (1 fathom from finger tip to finger tip) about 2 metres
- 10 fathoms = 1 chain about 20 metres
- 10 chains = 1 furlong about 200 metres
- 10 furlongs = 1 thus-hund of about 2000 metres
The wand that has survived today as part of folklore may in fact be a rendition of the ancient..."
