Tough as a Nail, Sharp as a Thorn Protection Spell

This is a spell to help protect you from physical or emotional harm.

Ingredients:

Storm water

Rose thorns

Nails

Herbs for protection and strength (I used black pepper, ginger, basil, and oregano)

A jar

Optional: paper and something to write with, if you don’t want to say the spell out loud

Instructions:

Add protective herbs to your jar.

Add storm water to about halfway up the jar.  While you add it, say “Strong as lightning, thunder, and rain, all attempts to harm me will be in vain.”  If you can’t say the spell out loud, write it down on a piece of paper and add that into the jar.

Add the thorns and nails into the jar and say “Tough as a nail, sharp as a thorn, though this spell new strength will be born.”  If you can’t say the spell out loud, write it down on a piece of paper and add that into the jar.

A how to for drying herbs. There are tons of methods, as everything in herbalism. This one works well for me!

[witchy-cottage]

Just hung up my Oregano! This was my first herb drying, and I’m so excited to have them! (Couldnt find a dark place to hang them, so I went with what I had!) Oregano grows out of control fast (in my case). And I thought it’d be a good time to try my hand at drying herbs!

Uses of Altar Salt

If you’ve put a dish or cauldron of salt on your altar to draw negative energy from the space, you’ve probably heard mention not to use that salt for anything after that. To bury it in the earth, to cleanse it under the moon, etc. What most don’t tell you is how effective that salt can be for cursing and hexing after it has absorbed all of that negative energy. Here are some uses for that salt:

•Season a meal for a cheating spouse or other hated person to cause illness or bad luck

•Sprinkle in the shoes of someone to have misfortune follow them all day

•Toss some in an enemy’s mailbox to bring bad news (and rust)

•Throw outside a door to bring the inhabitant unwelcome guests, magickal or mundane

•If you can, put a pinch in their purse/wallet to encourage financial inconveniences or hardship

Witch Bottles? Witch Bottles! - Explained.

Witch bottles traditionally act as what can be described as ‘decoys’ for malevolent or baneful spirits and energies. This includes curses, hexes and jinxes - it includes anything and everything that seeks to ruin that good streak you’ve got goin’ on.

Historically, witch bottles included items such as rusted nails, thorns and wine (yep, you read it right: people used to stick wine in bottles to never be consumed!), and almost always include an item of your physical being, such as a lock of hair, a little bit of spit or blood or semen, etc,… you catch my drift here, right?

**IMPORTANT: if and when you draw blood, don’t just wing it. Use hygienic and sterilized equipment to prevent infection!

When creating a witch bottle of this ilk, your main goal is entrapment so personalize to your heart’s content.

Nowadays, we have witch bottles for protection, entrapment, cursing and myriad other things, but typically they all follow the same basic method of construction (for lack of a better word) as traditional witch bottles, which goes as follows:

For protection against baneful energies and the entrapment of them, some ingredients may include the following:

A item of your physical being

Sea salt

Needles/pins/nails

Broken glass

Sage

Garlic

Blood or wine

A sigil written on paper or the ashes of a burnt sigil

A tangle of black thread

Basil

Cayenne Pepper

If you’re creating a protection bottle, you may want to include protective herbs, (such as Rosemary, St. John’s Wort, Pennyroyal or Mandrake root) and small crystals, like amethyst and quartz, in place of the… angry-ish content of the negativity-trapping bottle.

Next, you put all of your ingredients into your chosen bottle which can be made of glass, clay, metal or ceramics, and seal it as tightly as possible with a lid or stopper (cork). Now, shake! If the mood takes you, fill the bottle with whatever thoughts and feelings fit the intent for a little extra oomph.

Now you must take a candle that again, corresponds with the intent of the bottle. Black for protection (for me!), - but each witch has their own colour correspondences, remember - and drop the hot wax over the lid/stopper of your witch bottle. Before you play with hot wax, set some paper down underneath your bottle to protect whatever surface you’re working on and please, please take care not to let the wax touch your skin whilst it’s hot!

Traditionally, again, ceramic witch bottles were burnt or placed in a fire or hearth and the ashes/remains then buried somewhere on the witches’ property. Nowadays this isn’t always an option, and many of us choose to use glass bottles or jars. In this instance, you can run the jar/bottle through the smoke of an incense that befits yours needs and wants, and then leave the witch bottle somewhere dark/somewhere it won’t be disturbed.

🌛Witch tip🌜

Since sigils are meant to be destroyed, if your favorite way to do it involves water, consider keeping a jar of moon water and writing the sigil in something that dissolves easily! Toss in your sigils and let the moon’s energy take care of the rest. But don’t forget intent!
