Malevolence Averted

$110.00

I am for the moment when the unseen tries to enter.

My sun burns outward, my circle holds firm, and my beads remember their purpose. Long ago, they were shaped to turn harm away.

Below, the owl keeps vigil. He do not chase spirits. He denies them passage. What carries ill intent is stopped here. Malevolent spirits are sent back into the darkness.

Rest peacefully.

Malevolence Averted is a symbolic dreamcatcher rooted in ancient protective traditions. The main circle features a radiant sun pattern surrounding a large, old African trade bead — historically crafted and worn as a defense against malevolent forces and spiritual intrusion.

A second, smaller oval below holds a carved owl, a timeless symbol of vigilance, wisdom, and night-watching. The final antique African trade bead at the base grounds the piece, sealing the protective descent from sky to earth.

This work is both fiber art and talisman — a boundary, a threshold, and a quiet act of refusal against harmful spirits.
