On Pinterest I have collected more than 650 pictures of Talking Sticks and other magical wands and staffs from all over the world.

To emphazise any kind of communication and to show authority with a stick or staff is an international phenomenon all the way from the shaman´s drumstick to the golden mace at the king´s court.

"One of the oldest symbols of authority, the earliest ceremonial Maces were actually practical weapons intended to protect the King’s person, borne by a royal bodyguard. Later, cities and parliaments adopted their use. Heads of medieval universities also followed suit, and today the Mace serves its vital role as the object vested with the power of the institution."
