In traditional shamanism, bells are used for many purposes, because they can serve as houses for spirits and their sound represents the voice of those spirits.
These old bells here in our shop come from Nepal, where they were originally made with a quite practical purpose; to be hung around the necks of cattle to help the herder locate the animals and alert passers-by on their presence. All of these bells have been used as such for many years.
Bells with a unique history and authentic, rustique look and feel, now to be used as a house and voice for your spirits. They can be used as a separate, protective amulet or for that purpose be sewn on your ritual costume or attached to your ritual attributes.
