Get a photo of a person or thing you wish to protect from harm. Gather a handful of dirt—any dirt at all—and sprinkle it around the picture in a circle. Say:

Earth and stone to build a wall,
Create a place to hide.
Strong as mountains, hard as rock,
Protecting what’s inside.

Whatever or whoever you are guarding from harm will be protected and “hidden” from negative influences until the danger has passed.
