Regular price
$18.00
"These stone carvings are found by forest paths and serve as an opportunity for travelers to petition for safety while crossing through the dense woodland. Offerings of small favored objects, morsels of indulgent food or small unusual rocks is an effective way to earn protection of this particular nature deity. Many travelers also leave small handmade effigies near these statues for others to take with them for continued luck. The custom is to replace a taken effigy with one's own carving on the next excursion through the area. There are reports of dishonest effigy "collectors" finding themselves stricken with a curse of gastrointestinal distress until the fair share is returned to the stone idol...
Due to increasing demand, travelers have started to produce the small metal effigies in bulk as flat stamped charms. This design features more elaborate markings and decoration than the traditional simply hewn statuette. These can be conveniently hung on a belt or chain for a visual ward of protection from harmful creatures...."
