The wild boar has been hunted since the dawn of time (as humans chart it), and boar tusks have a long history in the mythology and tales of humankind.
The tusks, figure prominently in many ancient spiritual paths and rites of passage. From the Norse, the Celts, the Gauls, the Hindu, the Polynesians to European Heraldry, the boar has been held in great esteem and no small amount of fear.
Armor made from parts of the tusks have been mentioned in historical writings and can be seen in museums.
Decorations made from the "ivory" which have been carved or embellished are regularly mentioned in writings, and appear in illustration, photographs and museum displays.
There are few written records of the "magical" powers found in these items, however, as most ancient spiritual paths did not keep written records, that is not surprising.
Many pagan paths believe the representation of a beast/animal, (the hide, claws, teeth etc.) hold the essence or traits of the animal.
The Boar was, and in some cases, still is considered to have the traits of Courage; Fierceness in Battle; Sexual Prowess (male); & Ferocity in defending their young (female).
Carrying a boar's tusk as a talisman would, if you believe, bring these traits to you.
