Witch Balls

Witch Balls

Legend has it that the beauty of mystical witch balls attracts negative spirits thought to be threatening a home’s tranquility. An orb’s swirling colors and uniqueness mesmerize the evil being. After a spirit touches a ball, its malevolent energy is trapped within the webbed strands of glass inside the orb, which prevents the spirit from affecting its surroundings.

Modern Witch Balls include herbs, flowers, elemental items, and crystals for the intention and sealed with wax.
