Wand Workshop

Electricity can be very dangerous and unforgiving. The Violet wand converts dangerous current into a form we can play with safely, well mostly safely.

Before you play with a Violet Wand there are a couple of things you should know about the wand. This is not to scare you but so you can make an informed decision and select the level of risk you are comfortable with.

Many people don’t realize that inside the Violet Wand there is a direct connection from the wall outlet’s Neutral blade to the coil connected to the output. During normal operation, this is perfectly safe. The problem occurs when the outlet is wired incorrectly. You wouldn’t want to connect yourself to the Hot lead of the outlet.

The first thing you should check before plugging a wand in is the outlet’s wiring. This can be done with a small $4 device called a circuit checker. You plug it in and three lights indicate if the outlet is wired correctly. If not, it will indicate the problem. The most dangerous situation is an outlet that has its wiring reversed. The Hot and Neutral are reversed. Many electric devices require a specific polarity as indicated by the larger blade on the plug so it can only be plugged in one way. Read the rest of this entry »

For the past few weeks, we have been experimenting with ways to use a fluorescent tube. We came up with a couple of techniques that we want to share.

I have a small 2-foot long fluorescent tube that is encased in a plexiglass tube making it very tough. My female subject kneels on a padded bench. I place the tube between her legs with the metal prongs of the tube against her skin just above her vagina. I have her hold the other end of the tube at the end but not touching the metal prongs on that end. Using Direct Play techniques, I place a ‘Y’ or ‘U’ shaped glass electrode in the wand. I then place the ‘Y’ or ‘U’ around the tube so it will slide up and down the tube like riding on a track. By moving the energized electrode up and down the tube, I can adjust the intensity of the sensation. I often just move it up and down creating a pulsing sensation. Read the rest of this entry »

If you are new to the Violet Wand or a long term user, your first experience might have been at a Demonstration or ‘Demo.’ If you witnessed a scene that used a Violet Wand and you expressed an interest, you probably received a quick, informal demo so you could see what it felt like.

Either way, what elements should a proper Violet Wand demo contain? This depends on how detailed and advanced the demo is intended to be. That said, the three elements all Violet Wand demos should contain are History, Safety and the three basic techniques. Read the rest of this entry »
