Irish Wolf Mother Pendant (PE1828)

This piece is newly carved into a Celtic stylised wolf mother pendant 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, with deep coloured reddish tones, and feels full of positive energies. It has a bindrune for ancestral connection added to the back, and this can be seen in the 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.

The pendant 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 and mugwort.

Fly agaric is a famous fungi known from mythology and fairy tales, and is considered to have strong associations with witchcraft and the Fae.

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 with a plug of Summer solstice-gathered holloway blackthorn.
