Do you use a wand? Why or why not?

This is a question I thought about from another post of someone asking why it is that witches use wands. I've been practicing witchcraft for around eight years now, so of course I know why. But I've rarely ever actually used one. I have a small collection of them, three. Two of them I have lining either perimeter of an altar, and the other one I have on display.

I've just never really felt called to the use of a wand in my craft, but the post did get me thinking and I might make a concious effort to utilize a wand. Likely the wand I have on display, as I feel like the wands to either side of the altar I have offer protection.

So to other witches out there, do you utilize a wand? Why or why not?
