Selkie “Seal – Freedom” Talisman – Free Motion Embroidered Patch / Bag Charm

Description

A small Selkie Talisman from the Wild Minder Selkie Collection, inspired by the Selkie stories found in Irish and Scottish folklore.

Each piece is hand-painted and free-motion embroidered, turning a simple bag charm or patch into a symbolic talisman from themes found in the Selkie story.

This seal talisman represents the freedom of being ones true self.

Designed as either a patch or bag charm / key ring, these tiny artworks carry echoes of the stories and folklore people have shared with the sea for centuries.

Limited edition – only a single Bag Charm & Iron-on Patch is available in each design.

The Selkie Story

A seal swims in the moonlight.

Coming ashore, they shed their seal skin and shapeshift into human form, leaving their skin hidden among the rocks.

In many old tales, a man discovers the skin and steals it, binding the Selkie to him in wedlock. Years pass on land, the sea always calling to them – shells, salt air, and the tide constant reminders of the life they once had.

But Selkies never forget their true nature.

One day, through chance, help, or quiet searching, the lost skin is found again. When the Selkie finally puts it on, their true self returns.

The Selkie slips back into the sea – free once more.

This seal talisman represents the freedom of being ones true self.
