English Bog Yew Wolf Spirits (PE1753)

These pieces are newly carved into Celtic stylised Wolf Spirit pendants from wonderfully warm-toned bog yew wood from the English Fens. The wood is around 4,000 years old. A bindrune for ancestral connection has been added to the back of each one, and this can be seen in the second-to-last photo.

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.

Both pendants are 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 wolves with a plug of blackthorn gathered at the time of Yule.
