you react with split-second timing, and you generally find joy in your role as a safe driver.
Put the box in the glove compartment of your car and follow through by always driving in
a safe and responsible manner.

WITCHES PROTECTION BOTTLE
The following are the ingredients for a Witch's Protection Bottle and it works in two ways.
It not only protects you, but it will deflect the harm towards you back to the originator.

WITCH'S PROTECTION BOTTLE
Get a glass jar such as a Mason jar, or even a baby food jar, anything that has a lid to it.
Fill the jar halfway with small sharp objects such as pins, metal scrapings, broken glass,
razor blades, etc. Be careful when you are filling the jar! Once the jar is half full with
these objects, fill the jar up with a holy water mixture of salt and water.
Put the top on the jar and be sure it's secured.
This jar should be buried in the ground at least twelve inches deep.
As long as the bottle remains in the ground, you will be protected from harm that is
sent your way. If you bury the jar somewhere away from home, and you wont know
if it will still be there in a year (City Witches don't always have backyards!), then
be sure to repeat this process each year.

PROTECTING THE HOME
Start by mixing water and salt, two elements of magic. Consecrate them.
Use garlic salt and add powdered rosemary if you need to clear out ghosts or spirits.
Begin at the main entrance of the house or apartment.
Sprinkle some of the consecrated water by dipping your fingers in it and making
the sign of the pentacle. Say:
Evil shall leave but not enter.
Use a firm voice. Make it a commandment, with all of your power behind it.
Proceed counterclockwise through the house, repeating the procedure in
every corner of each room, at all the windows, doors and mirrors.
Don't forget telephones, computers with active modems, fax machines,
intercoms, and televisions that are connected to the Internet.
It doesn't hurt to do the mailbox, too.
Make the downward pentacle, with your left hand, if this feels right to you.
Or the upward pentacle with your right hand. Either will work.
Repeat the spell annually, or whenever you feel in need of it.
It is important to perform a spell like this one on a new home before you move into it.

SPELL FOR A NEW HOME
This spell can be used while consecrating the salt and water:
O Great Mother in your name we purify
with water and with salt cleanse this place of evil
and fill it with your Love O Great Mother
make this cave a safe space a warm and dry place
and shelter us from harm O great Mother
make this house our home

middle of the white paper, while saying,
"With the seal of this pentagram I request that this charm be used for protection."
Using a pen, in the center of the oil-drawn pentagram, draw your own special symbol for protection.

A SPELL TO BIND BULLIES
You Need: 3 black candles black thread one black pen a piece of paper an empty glass jar
This spell will not hurt your bully, it will just make them leave you alone.
Do this spell at midnight on a Saturday of a waning moon
(a period of time between a full moon and a new moon, the light is decreasing.
The opposite is the waxing moon, when the moon is moving from a new moon to a full).
Set the candles in a big triangle shape, big enough so that you can sit in the middle.
Light the candles. Write the bully's name on the paper, and draw an "X" over it.
Fold it three times. Say:
"I bind you (say their name)
so that you cannot hurt me anymore,
both physically, and emotionally.
Get out of my life, leave me alone.
I bind you (say name) I bind you."
Then tie the thread around the folded paper, and pop it in the jar. Screw on the lid.
Snuff out the candles (never, NEVER blow out candles after a spell, it pushes the
magick away). The next day, bury the jar off you property, or you can hide it in a closet
where it will not be found. If the black candles you used are small enough, you can put
them in the jar (do this at the end of the spell, not after you have screwed the lid on).
If not, burn them later until there is nothing left of them.

CANDLE SPELL TO STOP HARASSMENT
Timing: During the waning moon. Use a brown candle (an image candle, if you can)
to represent the person who is harassing you.
Write the person's name on the front and back of the candle.
On a small piece of parchment paper, write:
'From now on, (name) will say nothing but sweet words about me and to me.
By the power of Aradia, so mote it be!'
Put a drop of honey in the middle of the paper and roll it into a ball.
Heat a knife, pin or your athame, make a gash in the candle (in its mouth, if it's an image candle)
and stuff the paper ball into it.
Let the candle burn a little while every night for an odd number of nights, to a maximum
of nine nights. Throw the remnants into flowing water, but save some candle drippings
or ash to sprinkle in the path of your oppressor.

TO PROTECT YOUR HOUSE
You need: A whole head of Garlic 3 large 'iron' nails 9 pieces of White Thread (7 in. long each)
6 pieces each of Black Thread and Red Thread (7 inches long each)
Wax One White Egg Water and Wine
Twist or braid 3 white, 2 red and 2 black threads together, melt a little wax and dip the threads
so that it forms a stiff twine/wick like feel. Do this two more times so you have 3 waxed braids.
Place the nails in a fire until they are red hot, while still hot (you can let them cool a little bit)
wrap each nail with a garlic leaf. Then wind one of the waxed threads around each leave covered nail.
In a dish or bowl make a triangle with the nails and place it in a safe place (or your altar).
Place the egg in the triangle so it stands up, sprinkle with wine and water everyday.

SPELL FOR PROTECTION
Sit or stand before any fire. Look into the flames (or flame if using a candle).
Visualize the fire bathing you with glowing, protective light.
The fire creates a flaming, shimmering sphere around you.
If you wish, say the following words:
"Craft the spell in the fire;
Craft it well; Weave it higher.
Weave it now of shining flame;
None shall come to hurt or maim.
None shall pass this fiery wall;
None shall pass No, none at all." Repeat this every day if needed.

SPELL BINDER

This adds a certain boost to the releasing of energy.
It also works best if you are wearing a Pentagram you have attuned to yourself.
Speak these word with all the fibers of your body while releasing the spell's energy:
By the Pentagram I wear,
Water, Fire, Earth, and Air,
Ruled by Spirit as All should be

Let the water absorb the rays. Along side the goblet, place a charm or talisman on
a chain or cord and allow it to receive the sun as well.
(Note: You may use a piece of jewelry such as a gemstone pendant or a stone you've
found or any other natural object for the charm.) After 15 minutes have passed, take
the glass and talisman out of the sun and dip the talisman into the water.
Using the chain or the string attached to the talisman, gently swirl it clockwise
while you say the following three times.
Apollo's light surround me.
Poseidon's water protect me.
Athena's wisdom guide me.
As you speak the words, imagine a beam of pure white light surrounding both
the water and the talisman. Leave the water with the talisman in it for another
10 minutes, then dry it off and wear it with comfort in knowing that it will protect you.

PROTECTION CHARMS
Mistletoe, also known as golden bough, carried in a little hand sewn cloth bag is a
traditional Celtic method of protecting the self and is also used by the followers of
the magic from America's South.

Marjoram or wild oregano is believed to absorb dangerous negative energies when
powdered and sprinkled about the home. In Italy the followers of Italian witchcraft or
Stregheria make this herb into a tea and add it to the wash and scrub water to protect
the home and its inhabitants.

Cuban and Puerto Rican followers of the folk religion known as Santeria regularly burn
brown sugar, a pinch of sulfur and garlic powder on charcoal within their homes to cleanse
them of any negative energy. When the home has been cleansed, it is protected by
praying to Santa Barbara, the saint of protection, by the light of a red and a white candle.

A pinch of sulfur powder and cayenne pepper carried in a little brown paper pouch upon
which a sword has been drawn, can be carried to ward off hostile words and deeds.

Plain bluing (used to whiten clothes in the wash) is said to ward off evil spirits in the magic
of America's South. The bluing is generally carried in a little blue paper pouch.

When a little sulfur and blue metal stone (the type often used in the process of making
concrete) are added to bluing and carried in a blue cloth pouch, the charm is said to
simultaneously ward off evil and attract lucky energies to the bearer.

Mirrors are said to frighten away dark spirits and tiny pieces of silvered glass are often
sewn into Indian cotton dresses as are bells which are also used for this purpose.

A tiny silver bell worn about the neck is a very potent protective charm as evil spirits cannot
abide the sweet ring of any bell. Travelers are especially in need of protection when in a
foreign land. A tiny mirror smeared with a clove of garlic and placed beneath the bed is
said to protect the sleeper when away from his or her own home. The mirror may also be
carried on one's person for this same purpose.

PROTECTION FROM NEGATIVE ENERGIES SPELL
1 black candle, caraway, a small mirror Cast a circle and light the candle.
Sprinkle the caraway on the candle's flame (be careful!) and on the mirror.
Close your eyes and imagine yourself surrounded by a magick shield. Imagine the
negative energies bouncing off your shield and returning to where they came from.
Open your eyes and stand facing North. Hold the mirror out in front of you, the reflective side
pointing outward. Say these words:
"Mirror of Protection,
Stop the flow of negative energy in my direction!
May the energy be sent back to its source,
Let it harm none along its course!"
Now turn East and repeat the words for Air. Repeat for Fire and Water. Close the Circle.

A WARDING
The following is an easy warding ritual for your home or just one room.
You must admit that there are those who would use magick in unwise ways.
A simple way of dealing with such attempts is to ward a room you work in, or your home.
It is similar to casting a circle except that it is as permanent as you want it to be.
Be sure that you won't be disturbed while casting the ward or you will have to start over.
Nothing is required to do this but you may use any props necessary to make you most comfortable.
After ensuring you won't be disturbed, ground and center (use any form you wish, this is a
very adaptable ritual). Cast your circle, using the walls as the four Quarters (again use
whatever method you are most comfortable with).
After the circle is cast you will do something similar to circle casting.
Invoke the Quarters again this time asking for protection of the area being warded
against all negative influences from being able to ever enter the area involved.
As you invoke each Quarter visualize a wall of energy completely covering the wall involved
sealed by a floor to ceiling pentacle. On the wall/s with a door visualize a smaller version of the
energy wall and pentacle so that entering and leaving will not affect the integrity of the working.
After each wall, the floor, and the ceiling are sealed be sure to cleanse the area to ensure that
no negativity was trapped inside the room (any method is acceptable).
When done thank the Quarters for their help and dismiss them.
