Blackthorn Faery Ring Pendants (PE1793)

These ring pendants are crafted from warm-coloured blackthorn. The wood was carefully gathered from a beautiful holloway, a lane walked by people dating back into the mists of time (read more here). It's traditionally considered to be a plant of magick and secrets.

The pendants are comfortingly warm and tactile, inviting you to hold and touch them. They have a plug of each of the three Faery woods added to the front: oak, ash and hawthorn. The back has Old Norse runic script saying "Til verja", meaning to protect and this can be seen in the second-to-last photo.

The bog oak plug is placed on the side next to the front oak plug. The front plugs then continue in the order above in a sunwise/clockwise fashion.

They are filled with dried herbs: enchanter's nightshade and betony. The herbs are sealed inside with a plug of ancient Suffolk bog oak.

Enchanter's nightshade has long associations with witchcraft and sorcery. It's considered to aid inner conflict and has been traditionally used to find balance by bringing opposites together. Binding, hexing and enchantment is also associated with this beautiful herb. It is also connected with the goddess of the moon, and was used in spells and rituals to call upon her power.

Betony is traditionally associated with protection, both of the area surrounding it, and of the person carrying or wearing it. If placed beneath the pillow, it's considered to protect the sleeper against nightmares. It's also associated with dispelling negativity and soothing tensions.
