A classic square bandana style cotton headscarf that displays sacred magical symbols of the Mediterranean, particularly that of Sicily. Intricate patterns of sacred symbols, charms and folk magic. This scarf is hand printed in Screen Girl’s studio in Berlin.
The ink used is discharge ink and will soften and fade a bit after the first wash creating a more vintage and retro look. Colours may vary slightly from the images. Approx 50x50cm

Headscarves have been worn for a variety of reasons in the past- part of religion, spirituality, culture and fashion. We see them being used in a variety of traditions of magic too- used as protection, a devotional tool or an act of devotion, a magical tool, a divination or trance tool. They’re used as a form of practicality, keeping ones head shaded, cool and hair swept back while gathering herbs by the wayside. They’re used as a step into devotion, where the headscarf is in sacred colours, anointed with oils and perfume aligned with their chosen path. They’re seen as warding tools, protection veils- blessed with protection charms and secured around the head to stop spirits causing mischief. They’re used when entering trance, with either the scarf consecrated for trance, or the scarf is only removed in the ritual room for trance- capturing the incense smoke and engaging in the dance of the spirits. They’re used sometimes as a veil or a blindfold to see the world beyond.
