Witch Balls are hollow clear orbs with beautiful webbing pulled from the bottom to top. Choose from a selection of single or two-tone colours and hang in a window, near your front entrance or in the garden. Steeped in over 300 years of history these orbs are an amusing and thought-provoking gift or decor piece for your home.
The story tag reads "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."
