The Mythology & Meaning Behind The Talisman

In Celtic folklore, the Blackthorn is a guardian of thresholds and a symbol of protection through hardship. Its twisted limbs and hidden thorns mark the edge of the forest, the in-between space where change takes root.

Closely tied to the Cailleach, the crone goddess of storms, winter, and ancient earth magic, Blackthorn represents strength in shadow, cycles of transformation, and the wisdom that comes with age. Traditionally, witches carved the runic thorn symbol into Blackthorn staffs for protection. This pendant is rooted in that same legacy.
