Protective Measures Against Common Hexes or Curses

Against the Evil Eye:

• Hang dill weed over all windows and doorways in the home.
• Wear a blue eye bead for constant personal protection. Hang one from the rear-view mirror of your car, as well.
• Keep a cimaruta (an Italian talisman sporting multiple symbols) on your altar to stave off interference in your magical work.

Against Nightmares:

• Keep a silver bell in your bedroom, and ring it to drive off nightmare-causing evil spirits each night before you go to bed.
• A small dish of coffee beans kept by the bed staves off nightmares.
• Rosemary plants placed near the bed shield against unpleasant dreams.

For Safe Automobile Travel:

• Keep a whole ash leaf in the glove box for magical protection.
• Keep a tiger’s eye in the vehicle to protect against accidents.
• Hang a bag filled with wormwood and plantain from the rear-view mirror to prevent negative spirits from taking on the position of co-pilot.
