English Bog Yew Wolf Pendant (PE1758)

This piece is newly carved into a Celtic stylised Wolf Spirit pendant from English bog yew wood which is wonderfully rich-toned. The wood is around 4,000 years old.

The wolf is an animal which has long been regarded with awe. Ceridwen, the Celtic moon and fertility Goddess was associated with wolves and there are many myths and legends about the wolf being a close companion of humans and tales of nurture. Conversely, the wolf's ferocity is also well told, reminding us of their power. The wolf has associations with the moon, wisdom and in Celtic lore, also with winter from Samhain to Imbolc.

The pendant is filled with dried white horehound, and dried fly agaric. White horehound is considered to be one of the best plants to use for warding off evil spirits and keeping negativity away, and is well-known for its use against hexes and curses. Fly agaric is a famous fungi known from mythology and fairy tales, and is considered to have strong associations with witchcraft and the Fae. The herbs are sealed inside the wolf with a plug of blackthorn gathered at the time of Imbolc.

A bindrune for protection has been added to the back, and this can be seen in the last photo.
