Serpent & Stang Pendant
- Description
This sterling silver pendant depicts a coiled serpent entwined around the stang—a sacred forked staff long associated with witchcraft, spirit flight, and the crossing of thresholds between worlds. Both symbols are deeply rooted in traditional craft: the serpent as keeper of hidden wisdom, chthonic power, and renewal; the stang as the witch’s axis, a living compass between the underworld, this middle world and the skies above.
The serpent’s sinuous form wraps protectively and deliberately around the stang, embodying the meeting of instinct and intention, body and spirit, wildness and will, the power that flows between all worlds. In folk magic and traditional witchcraft, serpents are often linked to ancestral knowledge, cunning, transformation, and the deep memory of the land. Their shedding skins speak of rebirth and becoming—cycles of death, renewal, and growth.
The stang itself represents sovereignty, direction, and the witch’s relationship with place. It is the standing post of the hedge, the marker between realms, and the staff of traversal. Together, serpent and stang form a powerful talisman of initiation, protection, and personal power.
Handcrafted in sterling silver, this piece carries a weight and presence that feels both ancient and alive—perfect for practitioners, spirit-walkers, hedge witches, and those who honour the old ways.
