Protection Charm

Cast this spell on a Tuesday or Saturday on a full moon.
You will need:

• a clove of garlic
• a piece of hematite
• a black candle that drips (you will need the wax)
• dragon’s blood incense
• a nutmeg
• three juniper berries
• a pinch of alfalfa
• thick black yarn
• a heat-proof dish
• a candleholder

Using the black yarn, tie together and thoroughly wrap the garlic, hematite,
nutmeg, and alfalfa into a reasonably spherical shape, leaving a loop at the
top from which to hang the charm somewhere.
Light the incense. Take the charm and allow it to soak up the smoke of the
incense for some time, and as you do, imagine the power of the universe
infusing the charm with strength and potency.
Next, place the charm onto the heat-proof dish. Light the black candle, and
allow it to drip onto the charm. Fully seal the charm in wax, leaving the loopfree
of wax (do this if you’re going to choose to hang the charm; otherwise,
disregard having a loop).
Set the candle in a candleholder, and hold the charm in your hands once the
wax has fully set. Say:
“By the power of three times three, I empower this charm effectively, to bring
no one harm,
nor to bring harm to me,
to keep harm away, during the night and the day,
I cast this spell now—so mote it be!”
Place the charm on your altar or in your car; you can carry it in your bag or
hang it by your front door. You may recharge it by lighting a black candle
and saying the casting words on any full moon.
