Spell A Day

Spell Date:  Saturday, March 16, 2002

In the center of a square of brown cloth, place the following ingredients, chanting after each: hawthorn berries, “With hawthorn do I draw protection to this house”; crumbled bay leaf, “With bay is this spell strengthened”; elderflowers, “With these elderflowers is danger deflected from this house”; three peppercorns, “With these peppercorns is power infused into this spell.” Gather the cloth and tie with silver cord (or ribbon), saying: “Tied together with this cord, that lightning from this house is ward.” Knot the cord three times, saying: “Knotted once, and twice, and thrice around. Three times more is this spell bound.” Tie one knot in each string, then knot those ends together, saying: “By knots of three times three, is lightning deflected into the ground.” Hang someplace high in the house.
