Vintage Handheld Bells - Witchcraft Tools

This is a collection of vintage, handheld bells of various themes and symbology. Whether for cleansing or conjuring, the bell is often an indispensable tool for witchcraft in many traditions. They can be used to call in and conjure beloved spirits, like a dinner bell calls in family. They can be cleansing and protective, the bright ringing warding off malice and il malocchio (the evil eye), like the bells on Italian folk magic wards centering La Sirena. Bells can also be used to frighten away spirits of ill intent, as the loud clanging of the church bell scares away the malignant and shelters its faithful.

Each bell listed below features unique symbolism that inclines it to work with different spirits, energies, or currents. As you choose your new partner and tool for witchcraft, consider which best speaks to what you'd like to either call in or banish.
