Witches Witch Ball Demon Cage Blown Glass Forged Metal Stand

Details

Glass witch ball with a twisted steel stand. This ball has been part of my collection for several years. It has been stored amongst haunted items as well as being displayed in a couple of my homes that were filled with guests of the paranormal type. If you believe in the powers of the witch ball and the paranormal, then you can be confident that you don't want to accidently break this glass ball...

Witch Balls were very popular in 18th century England, 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 that may be threatening a home's tranquility. 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.
