These one of a kind jawbone talismans combine real elk or cow bone with hand painted runes, bindrunes, and staves created for different ritual intentions. Each jawbone has been blackened before being individually painted in red, allowing the markings to stand out against the naturally weathered bone.
Choose from eight individual pieces centered around protection, connection with the gods, strength and growth, deity work, or the Elder Futhark. These can be placed on an altar, incorporated into ritual work, hung within a sacred space, or displayed among other bones and ritual tools.
