Lucky Grouse Foot Brooch ‘Deer Antlers’
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.

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.

Wild Hare’s Foot Talisman ‘A’
$29.95Historical 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 front paw, noted as ‘A’ in the photograph of the group of three paws. Sold individually, each measures between 7 and 8cm, with an additional 7.5cm in the chain and pentacle charm. It is the smallest in the collection.
