A witches ball is a decorative glass orb that is often placed in windows or outdoor areas. It is believed to have originated during the 18th century in England and is associated with various superstitions and folk beliefs. The main reason for employing a witches ball is to ward off evil spirits and protect the home from negative energy. The concept behind the witches ball is that the decorative glass orb attracts and traps evil spirits or negative energy within its intricate designs. The evil spirits are then unable to enter the home or cause harm, as they are trapped within the ball. In this way, the witches ball acts as a protective talisman for the household.

A Witch Ball, historically, was hung in the window to ward off evil spirits , banish ill fortune,and drive away any negativity from the home.

The ball is created with magical intent using the moon phases to raise the metaphysical ,magical qualities of the contents and bind them to work together in the home , helping to create positive energy and manifest whatever is desired.
How does it work?
To me ,very simply put, Magic is using the power of your intention to change the energy around you, to be able to then attract to you ,what you desire to manifest.
A Witch Ball is a magically charged visual representation of what your intention is. You can see it and you can feel the energy coming from the magical correspondences within it.
The contents inside have been specifically chosen and charged with the correct magical moon energy phase in order to be aligned with your intention. This makes the witch ball a perfect focal point for your energy. Using that new energy from within the ball, alongside your specific intention , you can then focus on manifesting your intention ,as you align your energy, to move towards what you want .
It is important to have a specific intention to bring about change. The universe brings to you what you are looking for . So if you want happiness then you must focus on the things that make you happy. Think about telling a child “don’t touch “
Or if someone shouts “don’t look behind you “ what do you do? What does the child do ? Well you would look behind and the child would touch.
That’s because our brains do not hear the negative . They focus on what they believe you want. So touch and look behind .
Don’t believe me ? Then think about the last time a friend of yours got a new car . I bet you never noticed that car before but the likelihood is that you will now see it everywhere . Why ? Because your brain has switched on to look for it ,as you want to see your friend . So how does this relate to the power of the Witch Ball? The witch balls magical , specifically targeted energy helps to keep you focussed on what you want.
That is a very powerful magical tool to have beside you when you seek to bring about positive magical change .
