(1) Ring of Protection (Ball 72)
In this method of working you place a protective shield around your
home so that no harm can come to either it or the people therein.
YOU WILL NEED
METHOD
Visualize a ring of light surrounding
your property. Ask your guardians or deities to protect it and its occupants for as long as necessary.
Reinforce the circle of light whenever you go away or whenever you think about it.
(2) Outside Building (Kaldera 31)
Start with the outside of the building. Even if it's a big apartment
complex full of other people's rooms, the first layer should enclose the entire building. After all, you'll want to feel safe
on the steps and in the hall as well as in your own rooms. You can do this with plain old salt, or salt and herbs, or salt
and spices. If you add herbs to the mix, you can either get traditional "rural" protective herbs, assuming you have a source,
or use city plants that you might find around. Examples of traditional protective herbs include bay, agrimony, rue, sage and
pennyroyal. City plants that have protective vibrations include knotgrass, mullein, plantain, and oak leaves. You can chop
or powder them, or keep the leaves whole. Appropriate spices include white and black pepper, cayenne, or crumbled chili peppers.
Another really good thing to use is cornmeal; in a pinch, even granola or crumbled cold cereal will work. Mix the whole mess
together with the salt and walk around the building clockwise, sprinkling so that it falls along the edge of the foundation.
While you're doing this activity, picture protective energy growing up out of the ground and surrounds the building like ivy
or vines crawling over the whole place, growing in fast motion.
(3) Door Protection (Kaldera 31)
Make sure
the line of salt mix crosses just outside the threshold of each door, and put an extra amount there. If there is an actual
patch of earth by the door, such as a bed for flowers or foundation plantings, bury a small bottler there. Use a soda bottle
and fill it with stones, nails, tacks, pins, small plastic guns ( you can cut them off of small plastic soldiers), and other
sharp or dangerous-looking items. Add salt. Cork it and bury it facing away from the steps. If there is no earth, paint protective
symbols on it with some clear but substantial liquid such as vegetable oil. Draw othila in oil on the doorframe. You can
also hang bells or horseshoes or small plastic weapons, guns or sword pennants.
(4) Chicken Foot Door Protection
(Kaldera 32)
One of the most impressive door protection spells you can do is this: go down to the butcher and
ask for chicken feet. Some of the butchers or grocers that cater to ethnic groups will have them. Buy or make a small toy
gun or sword. Wrap the chicken foot's toes around the weapon as if it is holding it - if it's a gun, put one claw through
the trigger - and wrap with lots of string. Then put the whole thing in a pan and cover it entirely with salt (any kind, though
we prefer kosher or sea salt). Leave it for a month in a warm, dry place, after which time it will be completely preserved
and mummified, and should hold its shape when you take the string off. If it doesn't hold the weapon perfectly on its own,
it's ok to use tome glue. Then hang it, pointing down, over your most-used door, and picture it only harming those who enter
to do you and yours harm.
