Witch’s Burr (Sweet Gum Seed Pod)

Also known as: Witch Balls • Sweet Gum Burrs • Hex Nuts • Witch Balls of Protection

Harness the ancient protective magic of the Witch’s Burr — the spiky, natural seed pod of the sweet gum tree, revered by folk healers, rootworkers, and modern witches alike.

These naturally-formed, spiny orbs are believed to ward off evil, repel curses, and trap negative energy before it enters your space. Often called “Witch Balls” due to their resemblance to traditional glass spheres used for protection, Witch’s Burrs have been carried in pockets, placed above doorways, or added to spiritual mojo bags for centuries.
