Hunting Trophy ‘Fox Canine Brooch’
$95.00This antique brooch represents traditional Austrian hunting jewellery historically worn by both men and women to attract good fortune during hunts. The combination of fox canines and coniferous motifs, such as pine or larch, represents a balance between the hunter’s mastery over nature and a deep spiritual respect for the forest and its cycles. Historically, these teeth were worn as talismans believed to bestow the fox’s agility and stealth upon the wearer. Beyond being a trophy, animal teeth were historically worn as luck-bringing amulets to ensure success in future hunts. This 1950s Austrian hunting trophy is a rare piece. It showcases two embedded fox canines on either side of silverwork depicting local flora, either pine or larch. The hallmarks on the brooch's swing-arm clasp are illegible; possibly German silver. This one-of-a-kind piece measures about 4cm in length, 3.5cm in width, and 1cm in depth. The accompanying photograph depicts the actual object, and only one is available.

Wild Hare’s Foot Talisman ‘C’
$49.95Historical 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.

Wild Hare’s Ear Talismans
$49.95Historically, hare ears have served as sensory tools for navigating the boundaries between the physical and spiritual realms. Within magickal traditions and folklore, hare ears are regarded as talismans that enhance intuition, facilitate perception of the unseen, and provide spiritual protection. In Celtic and Irish folklore, hares are considered liminal beings capable of traversing multiple worlds. Due to their exceptional hearing and panoramic vision, hares are associated with heightened perceptual abilities. Practitioners use these talismans to discern subtle messages, anticipate potential threats, and navigate uncertain spiritual paths safely. These hare’s ear talismans have been carefully handcrafted during a waning moon cycle, setting them apart from ordinary charms. Sold individually and measuring 13cm long, 3cm wide, and 2cm in depth, each features a vintage brass fitting and chain, complemented by a pentacle charm, resulting in a unique artefact. Please choose carefully from the selection options for either the right or left ear, and only one of each is available.
