A Cimaruta is an ancient "portofortuna" or good luck charm. Typically depicted as a sprig of rue herb with branches that sprout magical charms. It is an Italian folk charm traditionally hung in the home, car, or baby's room to ward off the evil eye. This Strega charm hangs off a silver keyring with black obsidian and silver beads. Black Obsidian is a very powerful and creative stone that releases imbalances and negative energies. It is protective, provides support during change, and guides one to face their true self.
