Sweetgum Pods (Set of 3) | Wild-Harvested Witchcraft Ingredients | Protection & Spellwork Pods

These Sweetgum Pods, also known as spiky seed pods or gumballs and nicknamed "witch balls", are wild-harvested from my backyard and offered as a set of three. Naturally formed and beautifully fierce, these pods are beloved in folk magic and witchcraft for their strong protective and banishing symbolism.

Each pod has been cleansed by freezing, a natural and chemical-free method used to safely eliminate any insects or larvae while preserving the pod’s raw, wild energy. They are raw, untreated, and unaltered, just as nature intended.

Sweetgum pods are often used in spellwork to create energetic boundaries, ward off negativity, and anchor protection magic. Their spiked form makes them a powerful visual and energetic ally for defensive workings, poppets, charm bags, altar decor, and ritual crafts.
