Fenland Protective Spirit Amulets (PS071)

These simply shaped Protective Spirit amulets have been newly created from beautifully dark Fenland bog oak which is around 2,300 years old, dating back to the time of the Iron Age. The wood feels full of positive energies.

There is a sense that the amulets invite being held, making them perfectly suited for holding during meditation or sleep. Alternatively, they're just the right size for slipping into a pocket and holding in the hand whilst walking. It's recommended that the amulets are placed into a small, soft bag (a cotton drawstring bag is ideal) to protect them when carried, etc.

Each amulet is filled with a potent mix: our protective herb blend which includes herbs respectfully gathered from the land surrounding the sacred site of Stonehenge, combined with fly agaric, betony, mugwort, and the root of enchanter's nightshade.

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.

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.

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.

The herbs are sealed inside with a plug of holloway-gathered mistletoe.

The eyes are finished with garnets, and the back of each figure has Old Norse runic script saying "Til verja", meaning to protect. This can be seen in the second-to-last photo.

The base of each piece has a bindrune for protection added.

Crafted with real Celtic soul.
