Irish Bog Yew Owl Amulet (DAM626)

This dream amulet is carved into an owl, traditionally associated with dreams and night journeys. It's perfect for sitting next to your bed to look over you as you sleep.

The owl is carved from ancient bog yew which is around 4,000 years old and from the Co. Roscommon area of Ireland. It is a beautifully rich colour and feels full of positive energies. The base has a bindrune for ancestral connection added, and this can be seen in the last photo.

The amulet is free-standing on a flat surface and is very tactile - just right for holding during sleep or meditation. It 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 the owl with a plug of Summer solstice-gathered holloway blackthorn.

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.
