I know it's based mostly on personal preference, but I'm curious as to you and others generally hold a wand. I've taken to making some simple wands, and would like to make sure my handles are accommodating to different grip styles, if ever I should part with them.
Personally, I tend to hold my main wand sorta like a remote, but I've one for sigilwork/warding I hold more like a pencil, just with my fingers extended along the handle.
It depends. I have two and my grip varies because....well, one of them is a wooden spoon.
Generally, I tend to hold them like you'd hold a chef's knife, with the fingers and thumb wrapped around the end of the handle and the forefinger laying along it for balance. But if I'm using the spoon wand, it might just as easily be held in a fist for purposes of stirring a pot or swatting away clots of nasty-feeling energy that get stuck in the corners.
I don't think there's a "wrong" way to hold a wand, really. It's just whatever works best for your purposes.
