Hand of Glory
The hand of glory is made of the right hand of a murderer severed during an eclipse of the moon, and dried and preserved. It is used in spells, especially those of black magick. If a candle is placed in a hand of glory, only the person using it can see it. Carried into the house at night, it will prevent the inhabitants from waking.
