Annabelle had always been a cheerful and carefree girl, but there was a curse that plagued her life. It seemed as though every decision she made would ultimately lead to a series of unfortunate events. It all began when she was just a young child, and her parents made the decision to move to a new town. Little did they know, this would be the start of a long line of misfortunes for Annabelle. The first sign of the curse came when their new house was invaded by a swarm of termites. The family was forced to move out and find temporary accommodations while their home was being treated.

Witch Balls (witches balls)

For over two hundred years, the superstition behind Witch Balls has traveled from England to New England. The magic of a Witch Ball is to ward off evil spirits, witch's spells, and ill fortune by capturing them in the hollow interior. As the spirit is mesmerized by the ball's color and reflection, it enters the ball and is caught by it's web-like inside.

Our glass Witch Balls are made from recycled glass in the Carpathian Mountains; the land of superstition, old world mystery and storybook folklore. As the ball is molten hot, the glass is formed, the ball is rolled into colored glass granules to provide the design. With this process each of our Witch Balls are uniquely handcrafted and no two are alike. Let the magic of our Witch Balls decorate your home.

Capture the Magic – Witch Balls and Spirit Orbs

Enchantment is in the air at the Huntsville Botanical Garden with the opening of the Gardens of Myth exhibit, and the Shoppe at the Garden has selected some unique merchandise for those looking to take a piece of the magic home with them.

Much like the Southern tradition of keeping a bottle tree in the front yard to capture malevolent spirits, witch balls have been used for centuries to ward off evil spells and keep negative energy at bay. The brightly colored spheres are created in such a way that thin strands of glass form a web inside each globe. Legend has it that witches, goblins, and other malicious spirits, mesmerized by the swirling reflections cast by the colorful balls, are lured inside where they are trapped by the web-like strands.

The first witch balls are believed to date to medieval times and were crudely formed. They regained popularity in 18 th century England as well as during the Victorian era, when they took on a more refined shape. Though the legend behind them remained, the decorative balls were instead viewed as a representation of status and wealth.

The Shoppe at the Garden has a dazzling selection of witch balls, fairy orbs, and spirit orbs for sale – each unique in color and design.

Keep with the centuries-old tradition and place a witch ball in an east window to protect your home’s tranquility.

Hang a collection of fairy orbs from an ornamental tree to enjoy in the summer, and then incorporate them into your holiday décor in the winter.

Add warmth and light to your home or patio with an oil lamp, available in the same sizes and variety of colors.

Spirit orbs come equipped with an LED lighting component. Allow the orb to charge in the sun for 8-10 hours to enjoy its ethereal glow in your outdoor living space in the evening.

Each piece is hand-blown by glass artisans and individually boxed. Give one as a gift to lift someone’s spirit or to invite positive energy into a new home.

Ranging in price from $32-$54, these delightful pieces are available for purchase in the Shoppe at the Garden today!

Witches' Orb

Witches' Orbs were orbs that could be planted on top of Orb Torches, or on top of their own private stands. [1] [6] Mother Talzin owned one which she used to look into the future. [1] [2] Maul eventually came in possession of one. [3] Some orbs were planted in the Dathomirian forests around the Nightsisters lair. [7]

The family was forced to move out and find temporary accommodations while their home was being treated. This was just the beginning though. As Annabelle grew older, her curse intensified.

Behind the scenes [ ]

The orb first appeared in the Star Wars: The Clone Wars episode, Monster. [1] It was first identified as a "Witches' Orb" in the episode guide for Massacre on StarWars.com. [6]

Throughout her school years, Annabelle would always find herself in the midst of chaos. Whether it was a group project gone wrong or a surprise test that she was unprepared for, it seemed as though luck was never on her side. Even in her relationships, she could never find lasting happiness. Each romantic partner would eventually leave her heartbroken, usually for reasons completely out of her control. Annabelle's curse also extended to her professional life. After graduating college with high hopes, she struggled to find a job in her field of interest. And when she did manage to secure a position, she would often find herself surrounded by toxic coworkers and a hostile work environment. No matter how hard she tried to excel and impress her superiors, it seemed as though she would always be overlooked for promotions and opportunities. As the years went by, Annabelle grew more and more discouraged. She couldn't understand why she was the only one plagued by this curse. Her friends and family seemed to have relatively smooth lives, while she constantly encountered setbacks and obstacles. She even began to question her own worth, wondering if this curse was some sort of punishment for mistakes she had made in the past. However, there was a glimmer of hope that occasionally shone through the darkness. Annabelle had a resilience and determination that was unwavering. Despite all the setbacks and failures, she refused to let the curse define her. She continued to push forward, always searching for a way to break free from its clutches. Through research and self-reflection, Annabelle began to understand that the curse was not some supernatural force that was out to get her. It was simply a series of unfortunate events that she had attributed to a curse. She realized that she had the ability to change her circumstances and break free from the cycle of misfortune. With renewed determination and a shift in perspective, Annabelle started making different choices and taking control of her own destiny. She sought out therapy to address her self-doubt and insecurities, and she surrounded herself with supportive and positive influences. Slowly, but surely, her life began to change. Annabelle's curse didn't disappear overnight, but she learned how to navigate through the challenges with grace and resilience. She realized that life would always throw curveballs, but it was up to her to decide how she would respond to them. In the end, it was her unwavering spirit that lifted the curse and allowed her to finally find happiness and fulfillment..
