A few weeks ago I started planning making the rainbow wand as described in the Kraig... and then a good friend of mine advised me to first make a makeshift wand, to see if it's worth all that trouble to paint etc. So, well, I did something in between.
In MM the wand is used to a) consecrate the elemental weapons and b) in the "Complete Talisman Ritual". In none of those cases the astrological significance of the Rainbow Wand is used at all. As his Talismans are only planetary, well, it would make much more sense making a planetary wand. Anyway...
Now I'm asking people for some fun suggestions where one could this thing apart from the above?

Well, if you would make a wand complete with planetary symbolism, it would'nt be a rainbow wand would it? But do not be foolished by names. I think that the significance of such symbolism would'nt hurt in anyway, IF you feel more comfortable with it.
Lets hear what the others got to say

Of course, the astrological symbols also have elemental and planetary correspondences..... however, I chose to make a planetary wand rather than astrological - mainly for use in hexagram rituals.

While I don't know enough about the Rainbow wand to make a comment, I do have something possibly similar to the Rainbow wand in my knowledge. So I shall comment on what I think may in part be similar to the Rainbow wand. Feel free to tell me the differences or if I'm way off base here.
The Interplanetary Staff is a long staff composed of a consecrated wood. This staff has the runes representing all 9 planets and the sun inscribed repeatedly throughout it, followed and preceeded by a rune that is equivilent to the male phallus. The Staff is for Planet-oriented magic, I believe, though I've never actually used it before. I have read that if a male touches it it somehow disturbs the magical energies contained in the staff, nullifying its potency. Naturally, being a male, I can't very well use it.
Am I way off base here or is what I am talking about similar to the Rainbow wand?

Well since your reading Modern Magic, you might like to know that the GD used a "phoenix wand" for planetary work. it was basically a staff with the seven colors violet-red going down. it is topped with a phoenix head and has a two-pronged fork at the end. you might be able find a picture on the net. Thermonuclear, where did you hear about that? It sounds like a sort of blind. As you probably know the staff corresponds to the male phallis symbolicly and its obvious they are making that connection. perhaps they mean it also in a symbolic way, or are using it as a storage object and one must be receptive to use it as ones projective "maleness" nullifies it. Or maybe they don't like homosexuals.

The phallus rune is meant to amplify the interplanetary energy of the staff.
I think what happens is that when a male touches it the energy from him disrupts the allready delicately balanced energy by tipping the scales to far towards amplification.
I don't really remember exactly where I heard it. But I did hear it somewhere.

OK, seems like I am the only one who has made a Rainbow Wand. Everyone seems to use a planetary wand instead, which I do think makes more sense for most rituals. What's the intention of Kraig to make us create such an unusual wand?
Yes, the signs correspond to the planets, but some planets rule more than one sign and I haven't found a really good description of which to select. Any ideas where to read up on that?
For instance, he writes Gemini=Mercury and Virgo=Mercury (more practical than Gemini). Huh?

Well five of the planets have a day and night sign. saturn is capricorn in the day and aquarius at night. jupiter is sagittarius at day and pisces at night. mars is aries by day and scorpio by night.venus is Libra, and Taurus. And mercury is gemini, and virgo. the sun is attributed only to Leo and the day. While Luna is attributed only cancer and the night. It looks better as a graph, useful to but you have to play around with it. This arrangement is alchemical, each of these can be used as accurate keys to the dual natures of the planets . Of course this is far from absolute, anyone touring the Taurian astral for example cannot help but notice its strong resonance with Luna. I think this is what Kraig was trying to point you to.
