A magick wand is a gentler tool for invoking and directing than the athame. Some people buy them, some people make them. (I found mine.) It's often a piece of wood, though the type of wood that it is "supposed" to be varies with your tradition and beliefs. It is usually decorated or adorned somehow (mine isn't). The wand is aligned with the male aspect (the God) and with the element of Air, which is the east. As I said, you can use it for invocation purposes, and sometimes for indicating objects or calling outside influences to yourself or the circle. I like to use it while I'm asking for the presence of the deities as I see them (sort of like asking the universe to pay attention to me 'cause I'm gonna do something). You may have different wands for different purposes. A staff, like a large wand, is sometimes used at gatherings or by "grander" traditions.
