6" Olde English Witch Ball

6" Olde English Witch Ball

$ 36.00

Witch Balls were very popular in the 18th century, but their actual origin is thought to be much older. For well over 300 years, hollow glass spheres have been hung in windows to ward off witch spells, evil spirits and ill fortune. Hanging these decorative balls in the window is thought to tantalize evil spirits. The evil spirit is mesmerized by the ball's reflective beauty. When the spirit touches the sphere it is absorbed and trapped in the web-like strands of glass inside the ball.

Each ball may vary slightly as no two are alike. Choose between cobalt & pink, cobalt & amethyst, cobalt & green or gold & green.
