Color of the day: Green Incense of the day: Nutmeg First, remember that cold iron is one of the best materials for repelling negative magical energy. Hanging an old-fashioned horseshoe above the door (on the inside) will keep your threshold safe from intrusion. An old railroad spike will work, too. Second, work a basic grounds warding. Circle your home and property three times, moving widdershins (counterclockwise). As you walk, repeat: "Wards are set, safe at home." You may wish to smudge or scatter salt as you walk. For added protection, bury a small Witch bottle (e.g., a bottle of nails, rosemary, and bits of obsidian) near the front of the house. Third, stop in front of your door and use salt to create a pentagram in the area of the doormat. Step over the pentagram as you enter your home (and don't forget to lock the door!). |
