New in The Spiral House at Portland Button Works!

These wearable botanical charms are harvested from the Spiral House garden or ethically foraged with care. They are pressed, dried, and bound into pinback buttons, and while they are set on archival paper, they are real botanicals and will naturally evolve over time and with light exposure. Because each charm is made from botanicals and unique, yours will differ from the charms pictured. Available in 1.25” or 2.25” sizes.

Each charm comes packaged in a cello bag with a backer board containing the name of the plant, its magical uses, planetary associations, and elemental energies. These beautiful charms are lovely talismans with plant allies you can take with you, these would also make great gifts.

Our magical correspondences reference the works of Culpeper, Grieves, Shulke, Cunningham, Beyerl, and Harrington.
