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, where the locals are said to periodically outwit the devil, the purpose of the charm is to chase away ‘bad spirits’ (melancholy) and help the ‘good spirits’ to prosper.
