“Witch Balls date back to the late 18th century, and were often used by hanging in houses to protect against witchy curses and spells! Hanging these wonderful balls near a window or on a porch are thought to ward off any negative energy that might be affecting the house!
The lore behind these balls is that the negative spirit and energies will be so attracted to the ball that when they touch it, they get sucked inside and trapped!
Each ball will come with a random charm attached to it.”
