Large
Avalonian
Crow Spell Box
Filled with
blackthorns

This larger spell box is handcrafted
from two types of ancient bog oak and is carved into a
detailed Crow's head. Crows are considered to be birds
of prophecy and visions. Like the shaman, they are said

main part of the box is from the area
of the
Sweet Track, a Bronze age trackway in the Somerset
Levels near Glastonbury. The wood is approximately 3,000
years old. The beak in particular has some wonderful
graining and gentle colour variations.
The lid is carved from bog
oak which is from Ireland and is some of the oldest
we've worked with. It was dated through dendrochronology
by Belfast University and was found to be felled in
3,023 BC at an age of 400 years which makes the wood
almost five and a half thousand years old. Both types of
bog oak are beautifully rich and deep in colour and they
feel full of positive energies.
