Rat Skull & Butterfly Shadow Box
This handmade black shadow box features a sepia-toned witch’s boots backdrop with a machine-sewn pentagram, blending vintage and contemporary design. At its centre sits a delicate rat skull, flanked by a spiral and pentacle charm on the left and a golden butterfly charm with a skull-key body on the right. Below these motifs lies a solid plaque that reads BELIEVE. Rich in traditional occult symbolism, the witch’s boots and pentagram represent the spiritual journey and elemental protection. The central rat skull acts as a memento mori for resourcefulness and survival, while the spiral pentacle signifies spiritual evolution. Opposite, the butterfly skull-key evokes psychic rebirth and unlocked secrets. Anchoring the piece, the “believe” plaque serves as a powerful reminder to trust in your personal magick and unseen forces—and to embrace its message of belief. The box measures 18.5cm on each side and is 3.8cm deep, making it a unique piece for any ritual space.

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. 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.
