Mexican Buckeye necklace

Necklaces made from ritually wildcrafted Mexican Buckeye seeds, Ungnadia speciosa. These lovely seeds are seen as being an extra eye looking out for your well-being. We ritually harvest them from local trees. They are carried to avert the “Evil Eye” or wrap one with a dollar bill (or, ideally a two dollar bill, always folding the bill *toward* you), anoint with money oil, and carry in your pocket as a charm to draw money. These necklaces could be worn for similar intentions or just for their natural Earthy beauty. The usual Buckeye curio sold in the metaphysical market is the seed of a similarly shaped small tree from a different family, Aesculus ohioensis. Ours are a Texas/Mexico native understory tree called Mexican Buckeye, Ungnadia speciosa. I find them to have exactly the same magical properties, however, our Mexican buckeye seeds are smaller (so better for mojo bags) and much shinier, eye-like and all-around more attractive. The seed pods are interesting, holding three seeds apiece. I believe they are also just lucky in general, and I often carry them when I go hiking to use as offerings to the nature spirits and faeries, since they seem to like growing in the sort of dappled shade woods favorable to the Fair Folk. We only harvest them on the Thursday following the New Moon, we drill them on the Thursday following the New Moon & we assemble on the Thursday after the New Moon *Note: we make these with a variety of colors of spacers. If you provide your phone number with your order we can send you a photo of what we have on hand so you can choose. Otherwise we will surprise you!
