The original Rapunzel story wasn't sweet. A girl locked in a tower, a witch who cut her off from the world, a prince who went blind falling from the window. But she survived. She found her voice. She healed the prince with her tears. This ring wraps the tower around your finger. A reminder that the strongest people are the ones who found their way out. Handcrafted to order in my home studio.

Cernunnos sits cross-legged in the forest, antlers reaching toward the sky like branches. He is the Lord of Wild Things... the oldest god in the Celtic world. He doesn't speak. He doesn't command. He just watches from the trees and waits for you to remember that you're part of the wild too. This bracelet wraps branches around your wrist. A quiet reminder. Handcrafted to order in my home studio. Do you feel more at home in the forest or by the ocean? 🌿👇 #Cernunnos #CelticGod #HornedGod #PaganBracelet #WildGod #NatureJewelry #HandmadeJewelry #PaganJewelry #CelticJewelry #ForestMagic #ShamanicJewelry #TheWickedGriffin

This morning’s little gathering before they head off to their owners. ✨ Gemstone rings, rune rings, raven branch rings, a planchette ring, Cernunnos, Baba Yaga, Vinca symbols, a custom bind rune, Loki, Witch Bitch, a Vegvísir and labradorite clam shell locket, and a petroglyph bracelet are all getting packed up and sent on their way. I always love seeing the mix of pieces that leave the studio together. A little folklore, a little witchcraft, a little old-world magic, and a whole lot of “this was made for someone very specific.” Thank you for keeping my hands busy and my bench full. 🖤

The Norse didn't believe in a fixed destiny. They believed in the Wyrd. 🕸️ Wyrd is often translated as "fate," but it's more like a web that's constantly being woven. Every choice you make, every action, every moment of courage or hesitation... it all adds to the pattern. The past shapes the present, and the present shapes what comes next. You are both the weaver and the thread. That's why I love when people choose their own rune for their jewelry. It's not random, it's intentional. Your rune, your meaning, your Wyrd. What rune would you choose and why? ⬇️ #TheWyrd #NorseFate #ElderFuthark #RuneJewelry #CustomJewelry #VikingJewelry #NorsePagan #HandcraftedSilver #PaganJewelry #TheWickedGriffin

Packing up this morning’s little pile of magic before it heads out into the world. 🖤 Today’s orders had a very specific vibe: raven runes, Dagaz and Mannaz energy, Medusa looking beautifully unbothered, a few Alice in Wonderland oddities, Cheshire Cat mischief, and one tiny tarot ring for good measure. Basically… if your jewelry box looks like it belongs to a witch who reads mythology, talks to ravens, and occasionally falls down rabbit holes, you’re in the right place. Thank you so much for every order. I still get ridiculously happy seeing what you all choose. 🖤 #witchyjewelry #paganjewelry #futharkrunes #medusa #witchythings

Deep in the birch forests of Eastern Europe, there stands a hut that walks on giant chicken legs. Inside lives Baba Yaga... the ancient crone who tests everyone who dares to seek her out. Those who are brave, she rewards with wisdom. Those who are not... She flies through the night in a mortar and pestle, sweeping away her tracks with a broom of silver birch. Her fence is made of human bones topped with glowing skulls. And yet... people still come to her door. Because sometimes the scariest path is the only one that leads to the truth. This piece is handcrafted to order in my home studio. Every detail of the little house... the chicken legs, the tiny door, the wooden beams... all hand engraved in sterling silver. If you could ask Baba Yaga one question, what would it be? Drop it below 👇 #babayaga #slavicfolklore #witchyvibes #paganjewelry #witchywoman

Odin didn't stumble into wisdom. He suffered for it. 🌑 He hung himself from Yggdrasil for nine days and nine nights, wounded, starving, and alone... until the runes revealed themselves to him. In another story, he traded his own eye for a drink from Mimir's Well of Knowledge. The Norse understood something most people forget, that wisdom has a price, and the ones who seek it must be willing to sacrifice for it. Handcrafted to order in small batches in my home studio.

Deep in the birch forests of Eastern Europe, there's a house that walks on chicken legs. 🐔 Baba Yaga lives inside... a wild witch who is neither good nor evil. She tests those who find her. Answer her riddles, and she grants wisdom beyond measure. Fail, and well... let's just say she's not known for her hospitality. She's one of the most complex figures in Slavic folklore, a reminder that power doesn't always look pretty, and wisdom doesn't come without risk.

New Moon in Taurus tomorrow. 🌑 Taurus is the sign of patience, craft, and building something real with your hands. That energy is literally what I do every day at my bench. Tonight I'm thinking about Huginn and Muninn — Odin's two ravens. Huginn is Thought. Muninn is Memory. Every morning Odin sent them out across the world to gather wisdom, and every evening they returned to whisper what they'd learned. On a New Moon, we turn inward. What thoughts are you carrying? What memories are guiding you? What intention will you set for this next cycle? Keep them both, or share one with someone who completes your pair. 🖤 What's your New Moon intention? ⬇️ #NewMoon #NewMoonInTaurus #HuginnAndMuninn #NorseMythology #OdinsRavens #VikingJewelry #HandcraftedSilver #MoonRitual #IntentionSetting #TheWickedGriffin

Protection has always been woven into my work. ⚡ The Helm of Awe (Aegishjalmur) was a Viking stave believed to make the wearer unconquerable. Warriors would carve it between their brows before battle... not as decoration, but as armor for the spirit. The Troll Cross was carried by Scandinavian folk to ward off dark forces. Two very different traditions, one shared belief: that the right symbol, worn close to the body, can shield you from what you can't see. Handcrafted to order in small batches in my home studio. Available in sterling silver, white bronze, copper, or brass.

Have you ever heard of the Wolpertinger? 🦌 Deep in the forests of Bavaria, there are stories of a creature with the body of a hare, the antlers of a deer, the wings of a pheasant, and the fangs of a predator. No two descriptions match... because no one can quite agree on what they've seen. Locals say you can only spot one at twilight, and only if you're a little bit wild at heart. This pendant is lost wax cast in super small batches right in my home studio. Available in sterling silver, white bronze, copper, or brass. Sometimes you might catch me showing the process behind the scenes in my stories. What's a folklore creature that you think deserves to be worn?

Walpurgisnacht has changed so much over the centuries. What began as a night of caution, protection, and warding off spirits has become a celebration of spring, folklore, and community. I love seeing how these old traditions still live on today, especially in the Harz Mountains with the costumes, parades, and eerie old magic still lingering in the air. Have a beautiful Walpurgisnacht + Beltane. 🔥🌿✨ The first image is a screenshot from a YouTube video…please check my stories for the link!

Five witches dance around a blazing bonfire beneath a citrine cabochon in this Walpurgisnacht pendant. The back features a brass crescent moon, echoing the night sky of the witches’ gathering. Walpurgisnacht, celebrated on the night of April 30, is the legendary “Night of the Witches” in German folklore, when witches were said to gather on mountaintops and dance around sacred fires to welcome the arrival of spring.

Strange, story-filled, and made for those who feel at home in myth and woodland twilight.
