Witches’ Nights’ Amulet Bag Complete!

I started work on this bag on during the Witches’ Nights (Czech and Slovak) in December—nights of deep midwinter magic stretching from St. Catherine’s Night through St. Lucy’s Night.

This bag honors revelations I had during the Witches’ Nights about my work with Armadillo, Deer Mother/Rozhanitsa, Vulture, Wren, the Cat Coterie, the Good God Bird/Pileated Woodpecker and the Cherry Tree. The bag is filled with relics given to me by them and/or honoring them. I was happy to have finished the majority of the work during the Witches’ Nights and Koleda.

The central medallion represents Morana/Smrtka and Saints Catherine, Barbara and Lucy.

HAPPY SAINT LUCIA'S DAY

Oh Lucia, light my way. Carry me with you through the feilds, and may grains grow under your heels.

Oh Lucia, Lady of light, send your blessings and let them burn bright.
