Angelic protection sigil by Paul Atlas-Saunders

Based on the alleged original that was rediscovered by Arthur Morrison in 1900, during his Cunning Murrell research trip to Hadleigh, Essex. It was here that Morrison met with Murrell’s son, who showed Morrison his fathers’ wooden chest. It was full of books and papers including this sigil, which appears to show a handwritten angelic protection charm, as used by James ‘Cunning’ Murrell himself. £150 plus shipping

The Dagenham Idol by Paul Atlas-Saunders

The Dagenham Idol is a most remarkable artefact from the late Neolithic period. Discovered deep within the mud of the ancient  Thameside marsh.  The figure is carved from scots pine, and is believed to be around 4, 300 years old. This exceptional artefact is probably a representation of  localised deity, which was deposited as a ritual offering to the marshes by Neolithic hunter-gatherers. Interestingly, it was found close to the skeletal remains of a red deer, all of which may show us that even in the more distant past, the Thames was a sacred and much revered waterway. £230 plus shipping

The Waterhouse witch family imp by Paul Atlas-Saunders

In 1566 Hatfield Peverel in Essex found itself and its 500 or so inhabitants at the centre of a witch trial, where three women were accused of practicing sorcery. Agnes Waterhouse, her daughter Joan and her sister Elizabeth Frances were the family at the centre of the allegations. Agnes and Elizabeth were taught the ancient art of witchcraft by their grandmother, known as Mother Eve, which suggest there may have been at least four generations of the family practising as folk magicians, cunning women and herbalists in the parish across the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. This peculiar dog with the head of an ape was recorded as one of their shapeshifting familiars and is mentioned in several folktales surrounding the family. £230 plus shipping
