This rabbit hide altar cloth features the Helm of Awe, a powerful protective stave found in several Icelandic grimoires. Burned directly into the hide, the stave forms an eightfold shield meant to strengthen courage, ward off harm, and reinforce the will of the one who bears it. In surviving manuscripts, the Helm of Awe is described as a sign used for overcoming fear, gaining victory, and guarding the mind during confrontation, both physical and spiritual.
Each hide is ethically sourced and retains its natural shape, edges, and texture. The Helm of Awe sits at the center, creating a strong protective focal point for your altar. Ideal for daily warding, ritual work, or as a grounding piece for those who draw on Icelandic magical tradition.
Hides come in light and dark options. Due to natural variation, if the selected color is unavailable, a similar hide will be provided. Sizes vary slightly, with each piece averaging roughly 11 by 10 inches.
