Witch's Bottle

A witch's bottle is a traditional protective or warding object, typically created during the Middle Ages or earlier. It involves filling a glass or ceramic bottle with various items like nails, sharp objects, urine, hair, or other personal elements, then sealing it. The intention was to trap negative energies or malevolent forces, preventing harm or witchcraft from affecting the owner. Sometimes, these bottles were buried near a home or placed in specific locations as a form of spiritual defense. Today, they are studied as historical artifacts reflecting early beliefs in protection and folk magic.
