This one of a kind protection amulet was modeled after the side wound of Christ, an object of devotion within mystical Catholicism. More recently it has become a symbol of Christ as a queer figure of erotic and ecstatic devotion. It features a large cabochon made from cast resin, with a smaller cabochon “blood drop” of inverted garnet. The resin cabochon contains epiphany exorcised and blessed salt from the Church of the Precious Blood and a scroll coated in red wax sealed within it. The scroll contains a charm  “against all evil influence” from the grimoire The Long Lost Friend:
Lord Jesus, thy wounds so red will guard me against death
The pendant was hand sculpted in jewelers wax and cast in sterling silver. It measures approximately 1.5″ tall and comes on your choice of a black satin cord or a 20″ sterling silver chain. Only one was made. Note: Resin is quite strong and durable and will last a very long time if well cared for, however as it is not as hard as a gemstone, care should be taken to prevent scratching.
For more information on the devotion to the side wound and the precious blood of Christ, see my chapbook Ecstasy: A Devotional Guide to the Female Mystics, available through Hadean Press.
