Beautiful and tactile English Holly 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 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.
Holly wood carries the energies of purity, strength, logic, power transfer and protection. Holly items are often used in magic concerning sleep. It is said that a man who carries the leaves and berries of holly is irresistible to women. Since the story of the ruler ship of the Holly King and the Oak King deal with cycles and rebirth, it is often used in magic to ease the loss of loved ones to death. It also carries properties of the sacred, material advance, physical revenge, and beauty.
Holly being a sacred Celtic tree we have also burnt the Ogham symbol of tinne on the back for extra energy and protection.
