This artefact is notable for its rarity and features four delicate feathers set within an intricately crafted silver casing. Although a silver hallmark is present, it is illegible. Measuring 5.6cm in length, and 2.5cm wide, this brooch is structurally robust, and the C-clasp on the reverse is fully functional. Only one is available.

Wild Hare’s Tail Talisman
$29.95Throughout history, the hare’s tail has served as a physical charm believed to attract good fortune and offer protection. In British and Celtic folklore, carrying a hare's foot or tail has traditionally served as a charm against evil. Beyond protection, hare charms, recognised for their supernatural attributes and association with shapeshifting, were believed to grant hidden knowledge to those who possessed part of the animal. Owing to the hare's high reproductive rate, these charms are also commonly linked to abundance and new beginnings. Their nocturnal habits further associate them with the lunar cycle, establishing them as symbols of immortality and rebirth. In light of these rich traditions and symbolism, this hare’s tail talisman was carefully handcrafted during a waning moon cycle, setting it apart from ordinary charms. Measuring 8cm by 4cm, it features a vintage brass fitting, finished with both a chain and a pentacle charm. 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. We do not, in any way, support or condone the trade of poached or endangered animals or cruelty to animals. All bones are ethically sourced – death is by natural causes or a by-product of road-kill.

Aset, more commonly known as Isis, is one of the most significant and enduring goddesses of Ancient Egypt, often depicted in a sheath dress, with large, protective wings, sometimes in the form of a kite bird. Originally a secondary figure in the Old Kingdom, she eventually rose to become the "Queen of the Universe" and a universal deity. Known as Great of Magick,’ she was believed to possess powers greater than those of all other gods and was frequently invoked to heal the sick and protect children. In contemporary culture, Aset is viewed as an archetypal mother figure, representing unconditional love, healing, and protection. Modern practitioners of Wicca and other occult traditions frequently invoke her as a supreme source of magickal power and intuition. Measuring 13.5cm high, 18.5cm wide, and 1cm deep, this handmade divination board is crafted of wood and superbly finished with an epoxy resin on its surface and waxed wood stain on the reverse.

Wild Hare’s Foot Talisman ‘B’
$39.95Historical 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 ‘B’ in the photograph of the group of three paws. Sold individually, each measures approximately 10cm, with an additional 7cm in the chain and pentacle charm. It is the middle size in the collection. For sizes A and C, 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. We do not, in any way, support or condone the trade of poached or endangered animals or cruelty to animals. All bones are ethically sourced – death is by natural causes or a by-product of road-kill.
