Sun Wheel & Snake Skin Shadow Box
This handmade black shadow box features a sepia-toned skulls-and-roses backdrop and a delicate shed snake skin remnant at its centre. A wooden sun wheel handcrafted from a Willow branch harvested during a waning moon at the peak of the Summer Solstice anchors the piece. Below it, two horseshoe nails and three bones sit horizontally and symmetrically, representing protection against negative energies and a deep reverence for ancestral wisdom. The snake skin amplifies this narrative through themes of transformation and rebirth, while the willow sun wheel emphasises cosmic cycles, illumination, and release. The box measures 18.5cm on each side and is 3.8cm deep, making it a unique piece for any ritual space.

Vintage Rabbit’s Foot
$29.95Steeped in superstition, a rabbit’s foot is often worn or carried as a good luck charm. In cultures such as North America, England and Wales, a rabbit’s foot is worn or carried as an amulet to bring good luck, originating from a hare’s foot. Historically, rabbits have been associated with lunar symbolism, as the dark markings on the Moon's surface are often interpreted as resembling a rabbit. This vintage rabbit’s foot measures 5cm in length, 2cm in width, and 1.5cm in depth. In very good condition, it remains intact in its original setting and is accompanied by a ball chain. Only one is available. 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.

Porcupine Quills
Price range: $4.95 through $12.95Porcupine quills are valued in ritual practice for their symbolic qualities of protection and defense. As the porcupine's natural shield, quills represent the ability to establish strong boundaries and ward off negative energies. Their inclusion in mojo bags or spell jars serves as a symbolic barrier against psychic attacks or harmful influences. Because the quill points are sharp, practitioners are reminded to exercise caution, reinforcing the theme of mindful self-protection. Practitioners may position quills near doorways or windows to deter unwanted spirits or negative influences from entering a space. Quills are occasionally bound into a cross shape to serve as protective talismans. Their sharp and sturdy points make them suitable as styluses for inscribing symbols and intentions into candle wax during candle magic. Cleaned quills can also serve as pens for writing spells, petitions, or protective scripts, particularly when used with ritual inks such as Dragon's Blood. Sold individually, or as a group of three, and measuring between 10cm and 12cm, these porcupine quills may also serve as symbolic guardians, representing strength through gentleness. Their use can remind practitioners that vulnerability and openness are compatible with possessing the means for self-defence. Specifications Description: Porcupine Quills Material: Natural Porcupine Quills Measurements: between 10cm and 12cm PLEASE NOTE: Due to the raw nature of the quills, edges may be sharp; caution is recommended when handling. Natural variations in each are natural, and all measurements are approximate. PRICE GUIDE ONE Porcupine Quill $4.95 THREE Porcupine Quills $12.95
