Wolf Pendants (PE1744)

These pieces are each newly carved into Celtic stylised wolf pendants, and the gently rounder-faced wolf mother.

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.

All seven pendants are filled with dried white horehound, and dried fly agaric. White horehound is considered to be one of the best plants to use for warding off evil spirits and keeping negativity away, and is well-known for it's use against hexes and curses. Fly agaric is a famous fungi known from mythology and fairy tales, and is considered to have strong associations with witchcraft and the Fae.

The herbs are sealed inside the wolves with a plug of blackthorn gathered at the time of Yule.

Further details of each pendant are as follows:

Pendants #1 and 2 are Wolf Spirits, newly carved from beautifully dark Fenland bog oak which is around 2,300 years old. A bindrune for ancestral connection has been added to the back.

Pendants #3 and 4 are Wolf Mothers, also newly carved from beautifully dark Fenland bog oak which is around 2,300 years old. A bindrune for protection has been added to the back.

Pendant #5 is a Wolf Mother, newly carved from wonderfully red-toned bog yew wood from Ireland. The wood is, incredibly, around 5,000 years old. A bindrune for ancestral connection has been added to the back.

Pendant #6 is a Wolf Spirit, newly carved from beautiful Saxon burr oak which is around 1,100 years old and from the Norfolk area of Britain. This piece is larger and chunkier than many of our wolf pendants, so would be especially suited to ritual wear, perhaps rather than everyday wear, though that depends on your personal preference. A bindrune for ancestral connection has been added to the back. This particular piece was created at the time of Yule.

Finally pendant #7 is a Wolf Spirit, newly carved from a combination of mistletoe and oak which have grown naturally together. It gives a striking effect, and it's a wonderfully unusual piece. A bindrune for protection has been added to the back.
