  Witch's
Balls were very popular in 18th century England, but their
actual origin is thought to be much older. For well over
300 years hollow glass spheres have been hung in windows
to ward off witch's spells, evil spirits and ill fortune.
Hanging these decorative balls in the window is thought to
tantalize evil spirits which may be threatening a home's
tranquility. The evil spirit is mesmerized by the ball's
reflective beauty. When the spirit touches the sphere it
is absorbed and trapped in the web-like strands of the
glass inside the ball. Because they're similar to the
glass balls used by fishermen on nets, witch's balls are
also associated with many sea superstitions and legends.

his wife's birthday. He got a custom one with her initial on top, copper tubing/wire vines, and a violet witch ball.    |

years, this was the largest selection of witch's balls on
the internet. As of June 2009, we are out of glass witch

"Received the witch's ball dreamspayer on Saturday. It's simply stunning. Freshly tilled soil in the garden made the 3-prong bracket somewhat unstable after it ran for a while and the soil became muddy. I attached it to a cement stepping stone (with the original 3-prong bracket below the stone). Raised it up slightly with spacers, so the snap-on hose connector cleared the stone. Extra strap on front eliminated any front-to-rear play and I plumbed the riser rod dead-on vertical. It spins smooth as silk now. Thanks again for such quick service and a great product." Jim G.
