Hand Forged Blackthorn Needles

Hand forged needle quenched in blackthorns that were harvested from the ruins of the castle that was the location for the first written witchcraft laws. It was where the first witch was killed and the last witch was killed in the pyrenees mountains. Forged from repurposed horseshoe nails. Each is unique.

Please note the three in the photo and the charm in the other photo are examples. You ate only buying the needle and not the three or the charm.

These were made in honor to my friends Julia and Hector who guided us through the pyrenees and were made available at the Viridis genii symposium where Julia spoke on thorns and witchcraft in the pyrenees.

We work with the philosophy of folk magic and alchemy in our blacksmithing of iron talismans, by in the quench lends its virtues to the iron when hot and fixes them within the iron philosophically as the quench crystallizes and takes the hot iron from being mutable to fixed. These are practices being rekindled by troll cunning forge.

*sold as a curio only.

All items made by troll cunning forge are a work of art and not a work of fabrication in a factory. Each is uniquely made and roughly based upon the design provided in the items photos. Each may have its unique features that make yours completely different from what was made for another. This ensures that what is made for you is made for you and not another. It also allows the blacksmith to not feel that he is a machine in a factory but a creator and artisan.
