Bells in Witchcraft<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Conventionally speaking, people made bells from iron and, according to European lore, iron scares off or, at the very least, agitates Fairies<\/a>. This belief was so prevalent, that folks would keep iron horseshoes above the doorway to ward off the Fae and the evil spirits<\/strong>. The idea of \u201chorseshoes\u201d as symbols of good luck most likely came from this belief. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Bells<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The word bell literally translates as: \u201cto roar\u201d or \u201cto make a loud noise\u201d \u2013 as if to bellow. The first bell was invented in the 3rd millennium BC in Neolithic China<\/strong>, as archaeological evidence suggests. By the time the Medieval Period rolled around, bells had become a prominent as well as permanent tool throughout society \u2013 used by churches, farms, and business owners alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Iron bells were characterized as protection in various ways \u2013 an example would be church bells being employed to scare off trickster spirits. Bells have been mostly made of metal and consist of a hollowed out cup or vessel with a dangling piece inside called a clapper or uvula<\/em>. As the bell is swung (or rung) the clapper hits the inside walls which produces a ringing sound. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
