Much of history is tainted, since it is written by the victors. In the early ages, when there was only one church, the nuns played a very important part. they were healers, using massage, pressures, and stones to help the parrish. There was a stone (called Chiastolite today) that formed in long tube-like sticks... several inches long. This stone was used as a healing massage tool. At the end of the stone (either end) was a cross that was naturally formed. This stone was sliced into small slices and carried by people as a symbol of the church and healing power. From this, the rosary and cross became a more prominent symbol in the church (even though the crucifix has always been a symbol).
As the nuns became more effective with their work, they began to become the center of the church. Rome was certainly upset by this and gradually instituted the Inquisition to remove this focus on the nuns. Some nuns refused to stop helping the people and were killed or cast out. Others went into hiding and the Pagan movement began. The Chiastolite stone tubes were the forerunner of the wand. This stone is still around today and still used.
