A charm carved from wood and hung at the neck on a leather thong, most often cut by the wearer or by an elder of the household rather than bought. The species matters to those who care about such things — rowan, oak, and yew each carry their own reputation — and a charm cut for a purpose is usually made from the wood that purpose calls for. It costs nothing and rots in time, which is held to be part of how it works.
