A life-cast Magpie beak pendant framed within an ellipse, crafted in solid silver. 

A talisman to represent the power of speech, and the magic woven into every word.

Galdr is an Old Norse word for spells and incantations. A master of this craft was said to be able to raise storms, make distant ships sink, swords blunt, armour soft and decide the outcome of battles.

There is an old folktale that Magpies contain a drop of blood from the devil hidden under their tongues. It was said that if you cut the tongue of a Magpie to let out this drop then it would be capable of human speech.

The symbolism in this talisman represents the power of our speech, and the incantation in every sound uttered from our lips. Words are spelled out because there is magic within every sentence.

Life-cast from the lower mandible of a Magpie, this beak necklace is handcrafted to create detailed shadows and highlights, accentuating all the intricate textures of the natural casting.
