Inspired by Celtic folklore, this piece draws on the ancient belief that severed heads could be hung outside people’s homes to serve as charms against evil. Combined with the legends of Lancashire, famous for its boggarts (supernatural spirits who can either be good or mischievous in nature), the purpose of the charm is to chase away ‘bad spirits’ (melancholy) and help the ‘good spirits’ to prosper.
