Witch
bottles are protection "charms" traditionally buried in areas of the
house where negative forces can enter - doorways, hearths, etc. Witch
bottles dating from the 16th and 17th centuries are sometimes still
discovered concealed within old houses in England. The usual contents
of these bottles includes iron nails or pins, hair and urine. Other
ingredients such as small bones, thorns, pieces of wood and, in a few
cases, pieces of fabric cut into the shape of a heart are sometimes
found.
Today, in keeping with tradition, they could be buried or simply
placed on a shelf or somewhere safe where they will attract positive
energies into your home and help to dispel any negative ones.
The Witch bottles featured on this page are supplied empty for you to
fill with your own choice of herbs. |
