Witch Ball

I had an interesting find at Goodwill recently.  I didn’t know what it was when I bought it, I just knew I liked it.  And the price was right, $1.99.

The box said it was Kitras Art Glass.  I looked it up and it is made in Canada.  This is called a witch ball.

“Hollow glass balls have been suspended in the windows of homes for centuries to ward off evil spirits. Legends say that evil spirits are attracted to the beauty of the ball, and upon touching its surface they are pulled inside and become forever trapped within the glittering web, thus protecting the home from any harm.”

 Looks like they sell for $30-$50.  I think I got a good deal.
