Dark Moon Amulet (PE1852)

This smooth, tactile moon pendant is newly carved from bog oak from the Glastonbury area of southern Britain, the fabled Isle of Avalon. The wood is around 3,200 years old and feels full of positive energies. The depth of colour varies a little depending on the light, from rich deep brown through to lighter warm browns with dark streaks. You can see the lighter appearance in the second-to-last photo.

The pendant is filled with our protective herb blend which includes herbs respectfully gathered from the land surrounding the sacred site of Stonehenge. Fly agaric, betony, mugwort, and the roots of enchanter's nightshade are also added.

Fly agaric is a famous fungi known from mythology and fairy tales, and is considered to have strong associations with witchcraft and the Fae.

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.

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.

Mugwort has been used for millennia to to aid clairvoyance, lucid dreaming and astral projection. Our ancestors drank tea made from the leaves and it has also been used in incenses or smoked to induce visions. In times past it was considered to act as a protective charm, warding off evil.

The herbs are sealed inside with a plug of holloway mistletoe, traditionally considered to be a sacred plant of the Druids.
