Wolf Spirit and Wolf Pup Pendants (PE1767)

These pieces are newly carved into a Celtic stylised Wolf Spirit, and two smaller Wolf Pup pendants.

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 three 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 with a plug of blackthorn gathered at the time of Imbolc.

Further details of each pendant are as follows:

Pendant #1 is a Wolf Pup, newly carved from beautifully dark Fenland bog oak from Suffolk which is around 2,300 years old. A bindrune for protection has been added to the back.

Pendant #2 is a Wolf Spirit, newly carved from English bog yew wood which is wonderfully rich-toned. The wood is around 4,000 years old. A bindrune for ancestral connection has been added to the back.

Finally, pendant #3 is a Wolf Pup, newly carved from windfallen ancient oak wood from a still-living tree. The wood was carefully gathered from a beautiful holloway, a lane walked by people dating back into the mists of time (read more here). The wood is a beautifully warm colour. A bindrune for protection has been added to the back.
