Season of the Witch, Pt.II  |  Seiðr 

In Old Norse, seiðr was a type of magic which was practiced in Norse society during the Late Scandinavian Iron Age. The practice of seiðr is believed to be a form of magic which is related to both the telling and the shaping of the future.

It has been suggested that the use of a cord in attraction may be related to seiðr, where attraction is one element of the practice of seiðr magic described in Norse literature and with witchcraft in Scandinavian folklore. However, if seiðr involved "spinning charms", that would explain the distaff, a tool used in spinning flax or sometimes wool, that appears to be associated with seiðr practice. In any case, the string relates to the "threads of fate", that the Nornir (deities of Norse mythology) spin, measure, and cut.

From a strand of hand-strung carved bone, Jet rondelles, Wood Opalite and pearlescent fawn-hued glass seed beads, springs forth a Herkimer Diamond Quartz and three strands of antiqued brass. 

The necklace measures 16" long including the clasp.
