5in Brass Altar Bell (Triple Moon)

Brass Altar Bell (Tripple Moon) About 8'' high.

This is a vintage piece. The surface of the bell has a silver colored finish with a pentacle design etched into it. While it rings clear, it is a rather rustic piece and any imperfections only add to its beauty.

Bells are used to clear energy. At the end of a ritual is a good time for this, but if unwanted energy crops up during a ritual, you can use the bell to disperse it. Bells can also be used to represent the element of Air in spells and rituals. A ringing bell can be used to balance the mind and is helpful for meditation.

The use of bells is found in many religions besides Wicca, including Buddhism, Hinduism, Japanese Shinto, and many sects of Christianity. While the purpose and meaning of bells varies widely among these different traditions, it’s generally recognized that the ringing of a bell communicates a message of some kind, whether to participants in the religion or to entities in the spirit world. It’s for this second purpose that the bell is used in Wicca. Some people refer to it as a “witch’s bell” to distinguish it from bells used for other purposes. A more old-fashioned term you may come across is “devil driver.”

The clear, healing tone of a bell can have a few different effects. The bell's vibrations can banish unwanted spirits and/or negative energies, call in positive, desired energetic influences, and/or simply clear stagnant energy in any space throughout one’s home. Sound affects energy on a physical level—because sound is energy—and so the bell is both a physical and a symbolic tool in Wiccan practice.
