#apotropaicmagic

Looking for a truly unique piece of jewelry with a history? How about this intriguing Nepal "Tengura" Protective Necklace, in which phallic or bullet shaped pieces of bone set into metal bezels that are strung together in a neckband or collar. These collars are believed to contain Apotropaic magic (from Greek apotrepein "to ward off" from apo- "away" and trepein "to turn") is a type of magic intended to turn away harm or evil influences, as in deflecting misfortune or averting the evil eye. #tengura #nepal #nepalesejewelry #nepaljewelry #protectivejewelry #protectionnecklace #apotropaic #apotropaicmagic #magic #evileye #protection #vintage #vintagejewelry #statementnecklace #uniquenecklace #shop #nyc #unionsquare #beadsofparadise (at Beads of Paradise NYC) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdBsqbvum9F/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Reposting @palettesf.gallery detail clip of my new large scale assemblage titled Black Tourmaline for The Evil Among Us invitational group exhibition opening this Friday, September 20th at Palette Gallery in San Francisco 5-8pm! This dark art show co-curated with @shaneizykowskiartist 🕸 explores the rituals of apotropaic magic and their converse implication of omnipresent dark forces in our daily lives. Coming to the Gallery September 10th through November 6th, 2021. Derived from the Greek “to ward off” and “turn away from”, apotropaic magic is intended to repel harm or evil spirits. These positive occurrences of the occult are more commonplace than we think, deeply embedded in the cultures that surround us. From amulets and spells, to lucky charms and vague superstitions, apotropaic magic is abundant – thus implying that evil is as well.
