Dara Knot Talisman

$20.00

In modern interpretations of Celtic knotwork, the dara knot, whose name is derived from the Gaelic word for “oak tree” has come to represent strength and courage. It is important to bear in mind that many such “Celtic knot meanings” are entirely modern derivations; most of what we know about their beliefs comes from the writings of other cultures, and even those make little mention of any meaning to their ornamentation. But the beautiful thing about folk magic is that even ordinary objects can become imbued with magical properties when given power through shared tradition and belief, and so whatever it may have meant then, today it lends its power to magically achieving physical, emotional, and spiritual strength.

This hand-embroidered talisman comes with other strengthening curios such as stones, herbs, and prayers dressed with ritual oils and embedded in the frame
