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.
