The witch ball originated among cultures where harmful magic and those who practiced it were feared. They are one of many folk practices involving objects for protecting the household. The term witch ball may be a corruption of watch ball because it was used to ward off, guard against, evil spirits.
They may be hung in an eastern window, placed on top of a vase or suspended by a cord (as from the mantelpiece or rafters). They may also be placed on sticks in windows or hung in rooms where inhabitants wanted to ward off evil.
Superstitious European sailors valued the talismanic powers of the witch balls in protecting their homes.
Over time the philosophy of what a Witch Ball is and should be has changed. Various traditions artists over the years have altered the Witch Ball to include vibrant colours, herbs, resins, objects, oils, crystals and other curios.
While our Witches Balls are created to protect your space, we’ve also worked our magic to create blends that can be used to draw other beneficial energies into your home.
