WITCH'S LADDAR CHARM
This charm can be of two varieties. One is a general purpose charm of protection
and good luck, the other for a specific purpose.
Supplies needed For a General Purpose Charm
A length of White Cord, A length of Red Cord, A length of Black Cord, Nine Feathers,
each of a Different Color.
Red for physical vitality, Blue for mental abilities, peace and protection,
Yellow for cheerfulness and prosperity, Green for growth and health, Brown for stability
and respect, Black for mystical wisdom, Iridescent Black for mystical insight, Barred Black,
Grey or White for balance and harmony, Feathers with "eyes" such as peacock feathers
for protection and inner clairvoyant vision.
If it is possible, make the Ladder on the night of a Full Moon. Arrange your alter and cast a circle.
Use about a yard of each color yarn. Tie the ends together and braid them together while you say :
Yarn of Red, Black, and White Work Your magick spell this night.
Repeat this until the braid is finished. Braiding is a magical act because it makes three
strands into one. This represents the three aspects of the Goddess in one. Tie a knot
at the end of the braid. Starting at about a foot from the beginning of the braid, tie a
feather with a knot around the base and say : (example a green feather)
With this feather and this string Prosperity this charm will bring.
Tie all nine feathers to the cord, spacing them as evenly as possible.
Tie the ends of the cord together to form a circle.
Pass the finished Ladder above a candle flame then incense smoke.
Sprinkle it with consecrated water and say :
In the names of the Goddess and the God By Air, Earth, Fire and Water I consecrate
this charm Of feathers nine and cord of three As I will, so mote it be!
Hang the Ladder where it will not be seen by others but where you will see it every day.
To make a Ladder for a specific purpose, you need three feathers and one length of yarn
braided into a cord in the color of your need.
CHARMS:
Mistletoe, also known as golden bough, carried in a little hand sewn cloth bag is a
traditional Celtic method of protecting the self and is also used by the followers of
the magic from America's South.
Marjoram or wild oregano is believed to absorb dangerous negative energies when
powdered and sprinkled about the home. In Italy the followers of Italian witchcraft or
Stregheria make this herb into a tea and add it to the wash and scrub water to protect
the home and its inhabitants.
Cuban and Puerto Rican followers of the folk religion known as Santeria regularly burn
brown sugar, a pinch of sulfur and garlic powder on charcoal within their homes to cleanse
them of any negative energy. When the home has been cleansed, it is protected by
praying to Santa Barbara, the saint of protection, by the light of a red and a white candle.
A pinch of sulfur powder and cayenne pepper carried in a little brown paper pouch upon
which a sword has been drawn, can be carried to ward off hostile words and deeds.
Plain bluing (used to whiten clothes in the wash) is said to ward off evil spirits in the magic
of America's South. The bluing is generally carried in a little blue paper pouch.
When a little sulfur and blue metal stone (the type often used in the process of making
concrete) are added to bluing and carried in a blue cloth pouch, the charm is said to
simultaneously ward off evil and attract lucky energies to the bearer.
Mirrors are said to frighten away dark spirits and tiny pieces of silvered glass are often
sewn into Indian cotton dresses as are bells which are also used for this purpose.
A tiny silver bell worn about the neck is a very potent protective charm as evil spirits cannot
abide the sweet ring of any bell. Travelers are especially in need of protection when in a
foreign land.
A tiny mirror smeared with a clove of garlic and placed beneath the bed is
said to protect the sleeper when away from his or her own home. The mirror may also be
carried on one's person for this same purpose.
A pentagram or a arrowhead charm around the neck as part of jewlery. Place an arrowhead over the front door or under a door mat for protection to enines from walk through the door.

PROTECTION CHARM

Fill one jar small enough to carry with you with fennel seeds, marigold, bay leaves,
nutmeg and mustard seed. Whenever you feel threatened, inhale the charm deeply.
You will be protected. A Word Of Caution: This charm doesn't exactly smell like a spring breeze.
CHARM
Fill a clear glass goblet about halfway up with water.
Stir in a little salt and put it in direct sun for approximately 15 minutes.
Let the water absorb the rays. Along side the goblet, place a charm or talisman on
a chain or cord and allow it to receive the sun as well.
(Note: You may use a piece of jewelry such as a gemstone pendant or a stone you've
found or any other natural object for the charm.) After 15 minutes have passed, take
the glass and talisman out of the sun and dip the talisman into the water.
Using the chain or the string attached to the talisman, gently swirl it clockwise
while you say the following three times.
Apollo's light surround me.
Poseidon's water protect me.
Athena's wisdom guide me.
As you speak the words, imagine a beam of pure white light surrounding both
the water and the talisman. Leave the water with the talisman in it for another
10 minutes, then dry it off and wear it with comfort in knowing that it will protect you.
FOR PROTECTION
At Dawn, set out and seek for three dried Twigs, with lengths of the same sizes,
small enough to be kept as a charm, and bind them with a Vine. Carry them home
and on a table, place the bundles of twigs in the midst of a lighted White Candle,
anointed with Oils for Protection. In addition, you will need to burn Incense with
appropriate scent for Protection. As the smoke starts to arise from the Incense,
pick the Twigs up and pass them over the smoke of the Incense, several times, as you incant:
Smoke of Incense Bless these Twigs for Protection
That it may protect me from all harm
Hold me, Shield me, Defend me So mote it be!
The twigs must be placed on a bag and kept always near you, or rather, it can
be hung on the threshold of the house, to prevent any Evil from entering.
