5 Bat Nuts/Devil Pods, Foraged, Protection, Witchcraft, Spell-work

About:
These unusual seed pods come from a floating water plant native to Asia, and they’re rarely seen in the United States. I managed to come across them in upstate New York. Their spiky, dark form has earned them the names “bat nuts” or “devil pods,” giving them a slightly eerie look. Traditionally, they’re believed to be powerful for driving away negative energy, spirits, and harmful influences—much like the protective qualities of the evil eye.

Item Description:
Each pod measures around 1 inch and naturally varies in color from deep charcoal to earthy browns and burnt reds. They naturally contain a single hole, though a second can be drilled if needed for stringing.

Uses:
Perfect for use in décor, jewelry, crafts, or spiritual practices. They can be added to incense, oils, spell jars, or placed on altars for protective or ritual purposes.
