Skull Talisman
After a year spent in ritual and conversation with what is now a dear friend, it has become time to honor what they seem to be asking for. This particular skull came into my posession after it was damaged by vandals after many years as a school study piece. Necromancy is, at its core about recycling, and this skull, for better or worse, was bound for the garbage. I was allowed to purchase it, and bring it into my care, and now, I have the honor to make something beautiful and magical of it.
Truly, one cannot put a price on the life that this person once led. What I must do instead, is put a price on the cost of acquiring it, a price for silver, and a price for my labor. I have carefully calculated each item to weight, and taken an incredible amount of time to not only ritually embue each with energies aligned to ancestral protection and death magic—but to learn silversmithing to do all of the hand work myself.
This piece contains a round pendant piece (20MM) of skull featuring a section of Coronal sutures, Frontal/Parietal—right, set in fine silver. The magical purpose of this piece is three-fold. First: it acts as a classic evil eye pendant, warding away ills. Secondly: the spirit associated with the piece stands at the ready to whisper a warning if a situation or person is unsafe. Lastly: it aids in communication with the dead. If you have natural mediumship abilities it will give you a boost. If you have none, it will act as a stand-in for that natural ability.
Notably
Pendants like these are typically leveled into their base with sawdust. I have chosen for this purpose dust from a 300 year old disinterred coffin. Additionally, this item does not include a chain. The one pictured is for display only.
Shipping and Refund Policy
Please see the FAQ for full details. Orders ship on a fluctuating timeline dependent on many factors. Generally orders ship within two weeks of the order date on the nearest Monday (rounding up). This typically works out to about three weeks, but add a weeks time if these dates fall over a major holiday or sabbat, or if Mortellus' is out of town at an event. If your order contains ANY custom, made-to-order, or pre-order, the entire order will be held for that item. If you'd like them to ship separately, please order them separately to cover the individual shipping costs.
All sales are final, Mortellus reserves the right to cancel any order, for any reason, and refunds are not available for fluctuating pre-order dates, delays in shipping, orders damaged in transit, or sized by customs or other authorities during shipping.
