Hallowed Heads
These cute little charms hold a lot of power in a tiny package. The human head has been a significant symbol across many cultures. In Scottish and Celtic mythology, it is seen as the seat of power, the physical home of the person's soul and of wisdom. They have been used in healing rituals as well as being seen as portals to the veil beyond. Wherever you go, having these little guys near you will keep bad ju ju at bay, and give you strength to face anything in life. Each piece is unique and forged with intention.
Note: each item is individually forged and as a result there will be some differences in the finished product. Photo is an example only.
You can choose to pay a deposit only and pay for the remainder once your order is ready for shipping.
Octopus Door knocker
Even the bravest Norse warrior feared the Kraken, the ancient creature that terrorised the North Sea. Should you be the unlucky one to come upon it, legend has it that the only way to make the creature retreat into the depths whence it came from, is to say its name. This particular fellow, however, is here only to help protect your door and your family from the evil of the outside world. Merlin the magician, at the behest of King Arthur, has tamed the beast with a binding spell, ensuring that it will not hurt those it has been tasked with to protect. The true of heart, and honest folk need not fear. He only comes alive to feed on the dishonourable and the charlatan.
