Wells Witch Ladder

Wells Witch Ladder

The weathered sticks form uneven rungs, like an old ship’s ladder that washed up after a storm.  It carries that foggy coastal energy — salt air, creaking docks, and the quiet magic that lives between the tide line and the woods.

Hang it by a door, above an altar, or in a reading nook.  It feels like a talisman a sea witch or privateer might keep for protection and a little luck.

One of a kind. Approximately 22–24 inches long including the hanging loop.

This piece carries protective + liminal ocean energy.  A hand-beachcombed charm ladder made from driftwood and an oyster shell gathered from the shores of Rye, New Hampshire.

 Strung with simple spacers and silver-toned beads on natural jute cord.

Subtle luck & path-opening — the ladder form itself suggests movement upward or forward, but in a slow, steady, sea-witch way rather than flashy.

Grounding saltwater energy — quiet, heavy, and steady. It pulls scattered energy down and anchors it, the way the tide pulls everything back to shore.

Protective / warding — the oyster shell at the bottom acts like a natural shield, holding boundaries and deflecting unwanted energy.

Liminal / threshold — driftwood lives between land and sea, so the ladder sits at the edge of things: doorways, transitions, in-between states.

Cleansing / clearing — the washed, weathered wood has a “storm-cleansed” feel. Good for spaces that need a soft reset.
