Earth Witch Brown

Made by hand in stoneware clay, our brown earth witch is a one of a kind, no moulds used, a face that’s all her own. On her front and back she has the triskele, an ancient motif featuring three interlocked spirals, symbolizing motion, the power of three, and the eternal cycles of life. It’s earliest known European examples date back over 5,000 years to the Neolithic stone carvings at sites like Newgrange in Ireland.  

There is a small pouch on her back for an offering you may wish to give her. She’s been created with the same intentions as the Slavic Domovoi / Ukrainian Motanka figures, which are to watch over the hearth, bring peace and ward off negative energy. In more British traditions of folk magic, she is similar to protection poppets traditionally made of cloth or clay, where herbs or messages of written intentions are placed into her pouch to protect the home and inhabitants from ill-wishers. She has been fired twice, her face highlighted in mason stains and glazes, and her body in a Japanese glaze called temmoku which is rough and textural, breaking on her indentations to give her a rustic and aged feel.
