Pysanka Shells

Description

A slavic twist to Cascarilla or White Eggshell Powder that is a potent cleanser & protective agent. Can be used on the body, dissolved into water to create a liquid bath & floor cleanser. Also used for drawing circles or for marking magical symbols on walls or floors.

Many superstitions were attached to pysanky, they were thought to protect households from evil spirits, catastrophe, lightning and fires. Eggs with spiral motifs were the most powerful, as the demons and other unholy creatures would be trapped within the spirals forever. A blessed pysanka could be used to find demons hidden in the dark corners of your house.

They held powerful magic, and had to be disposed of properly, lest a witch get a hold of one. She could use the shell to gather dew, and use the gathered dew to dry up a cow’s milk. The witch could also use bits of the eggshell to poke people and sicken them. The eggshell had to be ground up very finely or broken into pieces and tossed into a running stream. The cloth used to dry pysanky was powerful, too, and could be used to cure skin diseases. And it was considered very bad luck to trample on a pysanka–God would punish anyone who did with a variety of illnesses.

You will receive 1 vial of pysanky shells. All the eggs were ritually decorated and later crushed by The Witch
