Description
A solid brass altar bell decorated with the Penta Moon, a pentagram held between crescent moons. It stands about 7cm tall and 4cm across, weighing around 40g. Its small size makes it easy to keep on a crowded altar, carry in a ritual kit or tuck beside your tarot cards.
The Penta Moon brings the protection of the pentagram together with the cycle of the Moon, a fitting bell for moon work and esbat rituals.
How to use a witch bell
- Open and close a ritual. Ring the bell once to begin and once to finish, marking the moment you step into and out of sacred space.
- Clear a space with sound. Walk slowly around a room and ring the bell in each corner, letting the sound fade completely before you move on.
- Call the quarters. Ring once at each direction as you cast your circle.
- Mark a moon or Sabbat moment, such as the turn of the new moon, the full moon or the longest night.
- Cleanse between readings by ringing the bell over your tarot or oracle deck.
Bells pair beautifully with candle work. Our candle colour guide explains what each colour is traditionally used for.

Caring for brass
Brass naturally darkens over time. Many people love the softer, aged look. If you prefer it bright, polish gently with a soft cloth and a little brass polish, and keep it dry.
