A sacred handcrafted piece painted with the Nine Helms, an Icelandic magical stave of layered protection and strength. This genuine cow leg bone rests upon a section of live edge wood, blending the elements of bone and bark to create a powerful ward rooted in Norse and Icelandic magical tradition.

The Nine Helms stave appears within the Icelandic manuscript LBS 2413 8vo, dated to around 1800 and preserved in the National and University Library of Reykjavík. Each helm represents a shield of protection, forming nine layers of defense that surround the spirit, the home, and the practitioner. Together they create a barrier against harm, ill intent, and unseen forces while calling forth courage and resilience.

Painted in red pigment to mirror the traditional use of blood or ochre in historical stave work, this piece channels the protective energy of the old northern magic into a physical and lasting form.

Perfect for:

• Placing above a doorway or altar for layered home protection

• Incorporation into warding rituals and ancestral magic

• Display as a devotional artifact honoring Icelandic stave craft

• Use during rites of strength, cleansing, and renewal

Each piece is handcrafted, ensuring no two carry the exact same markings or natural grain.
