Wolf Pendants (PE1750)

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 its 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:

Pendant #1 is a Wolf Spirit, newly carved from warm-toned burr oak from Glastonbury, the fabled Isle of Avalon. It's sourced from a windfallen tree which grew for around a thousand years. A bindrune for protection has been added to the back.

Pendant #2 is a Wolf Spirit, newly carved from warm-coloured Irish 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 both newly carved from beautifully rich-toned Saxon burr bog oak which is around 1,100 years old and from the Norfolk area of Britain. Pendant #3 is a Wolf Spirit, with a bindrune for protection added to the back. Pendant #4 is a larger Wolf Mother, with a bindrune for ancestral connection added.

Pendant #5 is a Wolf Mother, newly carved from deep, brown-toned bog oak. The wood is around 3,200 years old, and is from the Glastonbury area of Britain, the fabled Isle of Avalon. A bindrune for ancestral connection has been added to the back.

Pendant #6 is a Wolf Spirit, newly carved from bog yew wood from Ireland which is wonderfully rich-toned with a few lighter streaks within it. The wood is, incredibly, around 5,000 years old. A bindrune for ancestral connection has been added to the back.

Finally, pendant #7 is a Wolf Spirit, 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.

Some of the larger pendants in this group are generally larger and chunkier than many of our wolf pendants, so may be especially suited to ritual wear perhaps, rather than everyday wear, though that depends on your personal preference.

If you have a preference between cotton cord or leather thonging please add a note in the message box during checkout.
