Away!
Posted by amuletsbymerlin on October 29, 2009
One of the classic images of Halloween is a witch riding on a broom stick. However since the sixties and the hit series “Bewitched” the images turned from the “old crone” to a beautiful woman riding side saddle on her besom.
Like most people in my age group, the icon stuck with me for years: the sense of freedom to ride with ease across an inky sky with the full moon framing a beautiful face, a Witch to remember!
In my later years I have met many women that have “come out of the closet” most of them tend to resemble Samantha: beauty, talent and a great sense of humor.
As a dedication to this vision of loveliness, I have created the amulet: “Away!” 1 5/8” by one inch tall with a bail behind the moon: positioned to give the sense of “floating” on your chain or cord. Not just for Halloween, the Beauty may be worn year around to spice up your day “I’m feeling Witchy!”

That was one of my favorite shows growing up. I always wanted to be able to twinkle my nose! Nice work on the amulet.
