Bat Nut Protection Charm Red

Bat nuts, aka devil nut charms, devil pods or trapa natans, are the fruit of the water caltrop plant native to warm temperate areas of Eurasia and Africa. Their devil inspired nicknames come from their resemblance to a demon or goat. These nuts hav become an important part of French, German, African and American folk magic as talismans of protection and to ward off evil. In China, they are used as good luck charms because bats are considered a good luck animal.

You can hang these charms above a doorway facing outwards, much in the manner of ancient Tibetan door demons, to protect your home. They can also be place in a car for protection while traveling. To further increase the power of these charms you can anoint them with Fiery Wall of Protection, Cast off Evil, and/or Run Devil Run oil, or with Safe Travel and/or Fiery Wall of Protection oil if in your car.

Each one of the Bat Nut protection charms is handmade by local witch Rebecca Beyer with hand spun wool, vintage beads and deep intention.
