In November 2023, I wandered into a local charity shop, and even though you often only find junk, I do love to browse the random nature of the trinkets on sale, hoping that somebody’s trash becomes my treasure
In this visit, something did catch my eye, a dull metal pendant or medal with some super-weird markings. The writing on it wasn’t in English, but Latin, and on the reverse was a 4x4 square with Hebrew characters.
My general knowledge of history is pretty good, but 18 months ago I had never seen anything like this before. Wanting rid of the object, they let me have it for just £1, and being someone who loves the weird and the wonderful, well of course I bought it.
But what is it? Is it something old or something new? It is a religious or ritual object or is it maybe masonic or related to the occult?
Well, I went on a journey of discovery and in this video, I’ll be able to tell you exactly what this item is, what it’s made from, its importance, and also a rough age.
