Holloway Blackthorn Owl Amulet (DAM618)

This dream amulet is carved into an owl, traditionally associated with dreams and night journeys. The owl is newly carved from windfallen blackthorn wood which was carefully gathered from a beautiful holloway, a lane walked by people dating back into the mists of time (read more here). The wood is a beautifully warm colour and feels full of positive energies.

The owl is free-standing on a flat surface and is very tactile - perfect for holding during sleep or meditation. It is filled with our protective herb blend which includes herbs respectfully gathered from the land surrounding the sacred site of Stonehenge. Fly agaric, betony, and the roots of enchanter's nightshade and mugwort 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 the owl with a plug of oak root which was carefully gathered from an ancient holloway.

This amulet is infused with the energies of this potent blend from inside and will make an excellent guide to aid you on your dream journeys.

The base of the amulet has a bindrune for protection added.
