Hunting Trophy ‘Fox Canine Brooch’

Lucky Grouse Foot Brooch ‘Deer Antlers’ 

$29.95

Originating from Scottish folklore, the lucky grouse foot brooch is believed to bring good fortune. Popularised during the Victorian and Edwardian periods, these talismans were traditionally worn to promote success in hunting and serve as symbols of good luck. In a contemporary context, the lucky grouse foot brooch has transitioned from a functional hunting talisman into a highly collectable piece of vintage fashion and macabre art. Contemporary folk magick and occult enthusiasts often view the brooch as a powerful protective amulet, for its sharp, claw-like appearance is seen as a way to scratch away bad luck, ill will, or negative spirits. This vintage brooch features a preserved grouse foot, and an amber-coloured gemstone, possibly Citrine, set within a deer’s head and antlers motif. Measuring 7.5cm in length, 3cm in width, and 2cm in depth, it features a C-clasp enclosure and a safety chain, both in excellent working condition. Only one is available.   Specifications Description: Lucky Grouse Foot Brooch Date: 20^th Century Hallmark: Mizpah accompanied by two hearts pierced by an arrow Maker: Ward Brothers, Glasgow, Scotland Condition: Good, part of the centre claw is missing and is priced accordingly   PLEASE NOTE Our antique and vintage collections are second-hand items.

Wild Hare’s Foot Talisman ‘C’

$49.95

Historical records show the hare’s foot was a popular lucky charm and medicinal talisman long before the rabbit’s foot became a commercial object. Folklore blends pagan traditions, early medical beliefs, and supernatural protection rituals across cultures. In Europe, the hare’s paw was used for protection against evil and illness, venerated as a sacred messenger for its speed and nocturnal habits. The Celts believed hares, living underground, were supernatural creatures tied to the Otherworld. Inspired by this heritage, we present our hare’s foot talisman collection. These hare’s foot talismans have been carefully handcrafted during a waning moon cycle, setting them apart from ordinary charms. Each features a vintage brass fitting, adorned with a chain and a pentacle charm. This collection showcases the hind paw, noted as ‘C’ in the photograph of the group of three paws. Sold individually, each measures between 12 and 13cm, with an additional 7cm in the chain and pentacle charm. It is the largest size in the collection. For sizes A and B, please see their individual listing.   Here at Gypsy Red Corpse – Artefacts for the Witching Hour, we take great pride in offering ethically sourced and sustainable materials to supplement your ritual practice.
