Witch bells have always been cute to me because growing up, my dad rode motorcycles and was in a couple biker groups and when he got his first bike after I was born (which was like 18 years minimum of not riding), one of his buddies that he rode with got him a bell to hang on his bike, and he explained to me that it’s sort of like a folklore tradition among American bikers at least (not sure about other countries) to buy a bell for a friend that gets a new bike because the bell is meant to catch any bad spirits that would cause a motorcycle accident and the story is that the bell catches the spirit and bangs it around until it falls out onto the road and “that’s how potholes are made” lol 🥰 If you go to any American bike shop you’ll see a variety of bells at the counter, most of which feature imagery of skulls! I’ve always felt like that was one thing my dad and I always had in common because he doesn’t necessarily approve of my craft, but he has his own little ways that he incorporates protective folklore and rituals into his life. I’ve always thought that was rather cute 🥰😁❤️
I've heard tradition has blacksmiths use horse-shoes open end down to pour the magic out into the forge. I think the same could be said for any creation process - writing, crafting, carpentry etc.
Horse shoes, in uk they are hung in pairs one like a u the other like an n. The u is for luck the n is to ward of the devil anx evil spirits. I like yor spell book
❤I love these spells. Your tradition of the horseshoe is very similar to the one I grew up with, only we would ceremonial "pour out" a little luck on ourselves before a job interview or big test.
@@EllaHarrison oh amazing! I didn't manage to find any when I was out there but have some beautiful shells from there! If & when we meet one day I'll bring you a hagstone from England 💜
Moving Into my first new home in Germany from another country. Would love for some advice on house warming rituals. Will be buying ur book soon. ❤️❤️❤️
One year late...but a friend of my sister had this small family ritual, whenever someone bought a new house or moved in a new place, they would get a small wicker basket containing a tealight and a box of matches (to symbolize the hearth, light and warmth), a packet of salt (to have some flavour in this new life, but also for protection), and a small piece of bread, or a bread bun (so as to always have food, somehow prosperity). The idea is lovely, and to me it screams folk witchcraft, even if this friend comes from a rather Catholic household. Feel free to use it as a base for a gift idea if you know someone who is going to live in a new house...and if they are witchy, you can always add or switch elements to match their necessities 😊
You forgot a line! The second last line should say OPERA😉😍
Ohhh whoops! Yes thanks for pointing that out 🥲🥲

Vielen Dank, Ella!
Great video!🔔
Can you protect the spirit of a dead person against witchcraft
Do you have a video about book recommendations? Specifically for German folk practices? Love your videos!!!❤
I filmed one this week! 🤍
Thank you!
Personally I live in an active home and I just have bells on my door to know when spirits have entered 😂
