Spalted beech offcuts pouch, for camping, spells, rituals and symbolic practices.

Crafted from spalted beech wood, these shavings offer a unique and sustainable option for spiritual practices, woodworking projects, and fire-starting needs. Sourced as a byproduct of my carving process, each pouch is filled with the entire amount of shavings collected, ensuring maximum use of this beautifully patterned wood while minimizing waste.

Each pouch measures 9x14 cm and contains primarily spalted beech, though small traces of other woods may be present. The natural spalting process, caused by fungal growth, creates stunning dark lines and organic patterns, making this wood highly sought after for its symbolic and aesthetic qualities.

Spiritual & Symbolic Significance
Beech trees are associated with wisdom, knowledge, and ancestral guidance. In folklore and mysticism, beech wood is linked to learning, intuition, and uncovering hidden truths. Spalted wood, having undergone a natural transformation, holds additional meaning related to change, resilience, and the beauty of imperfection.

Wisdom & Knowledge – Beech trees have long been associated with books and learning, symbolizing the ability to absorb knowledge and uncover deeper truths.
Transformation & Growth – The spalting process represents life’s natural cycles, making it ideal for those seeking renewal, adaptability, and personal evolution.
