Irish
Raven Spell box
Carved from two
different types of bog oak
|
|
Blackthorns are
traditionally used in many types of magick and spells
but can be difficult to source. Spirit of Old are
pleased to offer sets of carefully gathered blackthorns
from southern Britain complete with a reusable spell box.
The box is handcrafted
from two different types of ancient bog oak and is carved into a detailed
Raven's head. Ravens have strong associations with the
Celtic God Bran who has both underworld and solar
connections and they also have further links with water
and prophecy.
The wood
of the main box is bog oak from Ireland which is around
4,000 years old and is rich in colour. The bog oak
forming the lid is from Suffolk and dates back to the
Celtic Iron age, so is around 2,300 years old. The area
is known for its connection to the Iceni, a tribe who
inhabited the area in prehistory - their infamous queen
was Boudicca, well-known for fighting the invading Roman
army. It is deepest black in colour and feels full of
positive energies.
This reusable box is
filled with blackthorns and is also suitable for keeping
dried herbs or other small spell items. It makes a
beautiful and very unusual piece.

lid): 16 cm/ 6 inches tall (approx.)
