Home Protection Spell Bottle

From Book "Spell Crafts" by Scott Cunningham & David Harrington

Ideally, such a bottle should be walled up in a new home under construction, or placed under the floorboards. If this is impossible, simply place it in a position of importance somewhere in the home.

Items Needed:

1 bottle with cork stopper
1/2 to 1 cup salt
3 cloves garlic
9 bay leaves
7 tbsp. dried basil
4 tbsp. dill seeds
1 tbsp. sage
1 tbsp. anise
1 tbsp. black pepper
1 tbsp. fennel
1 bowl

In the morning, ideally on a bright and sunny day, assemble all items. Place the salt into the bowl and say:

"Salt that protects, protect my home and all within it."

Add the rest of the ingredients, one by one, saying the above phrase. Just change the first word to whatever herb you are putting in next.

Mix together the herbs and the salt with your hands and fingers, lend energy to the potent protective items. Visualize your home as a shining, safe, guarded, secure place of sanctuary.

Pour the mixture into the jar. Seal tightly and place in your home with the following words:

"Salt and herbs, nine times nine
Guard now this home of mine."
