Beautiful and tactile English Black Locust Wood Leaf Amulet Charm for Good Luck. The expression ‘touch wood’ comes from the ancient pagan belief that trees are sentient beings and that the spirits or dryads that dwell within them hold the power to keep us safe from harm. When we say our hopes or wishes out loud, we say touch wood and look for a piece of wood to place our hands upon to show our respect for the tree spirits, ask them to hear our plea and look kindly upon us.
This beautiful little Leaf represents connection to ours and natures rhythms. We have added a vintage green glass bead and the piece has been sanded so the surface is smooth and then lightly waxed with natural wax. It is strung with onto an adjustable cord, so it can be put over your head and adjusted to you desired length.
Black Locust represents strength and resilience. Its ability to thrive in challenging environments reflects its symbolic nature, making it a tree of tenacity and durability. Historically, Black Locust has been a symbol of protection, often planted to guard homes and landscapes. The spirit of the black locust urges us to live to our fullest potential, and to embrace the themes of rebirth, renewal, and the cycle of life, as its striking flowers and rapid growth in the springtime symbolize regeneration and new beginnings
The Black Locust we use is from a fallen tree in the woods near our home, so all the wood was gifted and has a very strong energy.
Approx 55mm length and supplied in a recycled gift box with brief description of the woods energetic attributes..
