When the Bell Tolls

$125.00

I do not hang straight.

I am meant to confuse what creeps in the dark.

My circle is intentionally unfinished. I am a trap that cannot be escaped.

When something uninvited approaches, I speak first.

When my bell tolls, you are warned. There is danger afoot.

When the Bell Tolls is a protective dreamcatcher designed as both trap and alarm. The intentionally off-center tassel disrupts malevolent energy, while the incomplete metal circle acts as a false passage. It lures dark forces inward and traps them there. A bell is embedded as an ancient warning device, meant to sound when disturbed and alert the sleeper.

Bone-carved skull beads are reminders of mortality and gratitude for the life we are living now. An African trade bead anchors the piece in ancestral memory, history, and continuity. This is not a passive guardian. It announces danger.
