Irish Moon pendant (PE1481)

This smooth, tactile moon pendant is carved from Irish bog oak which is around 4,000 years old. Bog oak, by its very nature is always an ancient wood. It is a term used for wood which dates from hundreds, to thousands, of years ago and which has been naturally preserved in wet ground. The tannins gradually stain the wood a dark colour ranging from rich browns through to the deepest black.

The pendant is larger and heavier than many of our moon pendants so would most likely be suited to use as a piece used more for ritual wear than for everyday use.

The pendant is filled with a soothing blend of dried herbs and plants from folklore which are traditionally considered to aid protection and dispel negativity.

Mugwort has been used for millennia 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 passed, it was considered to act as a protective charm, warding off evil.

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.

The herbs are sealed inside with a plug of mistletoe, traditionally considered to be a sacred plant of the Druids.

The pendant feels full of positive energies and is supplied with cord or leather thong - if you have a preference, please add a note in the message box during checkout.
