Witch balls have a long history and are often associated with magical and protective properties. These decorative glass orbs are said to trap negative energy and spirits, keeping them away from the home. While witch balls were traditionally made from blown glass, today they can be crafted using a variety of materials. Here are some witch ball crafting ideas to inspire you. One popular method is to create a witch ball using clear glass or plastic Christmas ornaments.

Radiohead – Burn The Witch (Music Video)
Radiohead recently wiped clean any and all past posts on social media, they shutdown their website and basically disappeared from the earth and then early this morning a mysterious music video popped up on their YouTube Channel. Burn the Witch is a clay animated music video that harkens back to the old 60’s style Gumby animation from old. The music is melodic and discordant at times building to an eerie mass of sound and flow. The video on the other hand is from what we can gather a story about a taxman/banker whom has come to inspect the town and possibly collect taxes. As he is escorted through the town by someone who seems to be the major, he finds all sorts of anti witchcraft devices which have been placed into retirement or repurposed for something else. Like the witch dunking device has turned into a seesaw. As they explore deeper and deeper into the town the taxman shows a little concern for whats going on. The town finally gathers together and shows him a great statue made out of wood. He climbs into it and the Major turns out to be a Warlock whom locks the Taxman in the wooden statue and the villagers set the statue on fire. The whole village then turns to the camera and waves at the audience as the camera pushes away as if we the viewer are what they were worshiping the whole time. Trippy is the least you can say about it. So whats next for Radiohead? Well we do know that they are planning on releasing a new album soon and like usual their marketing strategy is outstanding. I guess we’ll have to stay tuned to see whats going to happen. Checkout the video below.

Another option is to create a witch ball using a wire frame and various materials. Start by shaping a wire frame into a spherical shape. You can then wrap the frame with twine, ribbon, or even fabric strips to give it a decorative appearance. Add charms, beads, or feathers to the wire frame for additional magical elements. Hang these witch balls in areas where you want to create a protective barrier. If you're feeling particularly crafty, you can also try your hand at creating witch balls from scratch using polymer clay. Shape the clay into a ball and poke a small hole in the top to create a hanger. You can then decorate the clay ball with symbols, sigils, or other magical designs. Once the clay has dried and hardened, you can paint it with colorful acrylics to bring your design to life. Remember, the most important aspect of crafting witch balls is infusing them with your intention and energy. As you create each witch ball, focus on your desired outcome and visualize it coming to fruition. By doing this, you will empower your witch balls with your own personal magic. Whether you're using glass ornaments, wire frames, or polymer clay, crafting witch balls can be a fun and creative activity. Experiment with different materials and designs to create unique and personalized witch balls that suit your magical style. Hang them in your home or give them as gifts to share the protective and magical properties of these ancient talismans..
