Use whatever words or actions are appropriate for you. Shake well and set in your kitchen window (or in a window of any room where you have a lot of traffic).This specific Strega Jar is designed for protection of you and your home. From time to time, shake the jar and smell the aroma on the cork to remind you that you are protected.

<h2>WITCH HOUSE PROTECTION </h2><h4>By Fabrisia</h4>
<br>
<table CELLPADDING="4" CELLSPACING="4" WIDTH="95%">
<tr>
<td align="center" valign="vertical" colspan="5">PREPARATION:<p>
I have fashioned a sort of Witch 'Mezuzzah' to be placed on the inner door frame of the front or side entrances to your home. I used a 4&quot; jumbo craft stick and black marker. Upon the craft stick I have drawn several symbols and runes. For me personally, I have chosen to use: the rune ELOH which denotes friendship, gateways, thresholds and protection; the symbol of the Power of the Union of the Goddess and God; a pentagram which symbolizes Earth, Air, Fire, Water and Spirit; a bindrune for home protection made of the runes EOLH, OTHEL, IS and THORN; and the symbol for the Spirit of Aradia.<br><br>
RITUAL:<p>
Perform a consecration or blessing ritual. Cast your circle and ask the Goddess and Gods for their attention and blessing. Use whatever words or actions are appropriate for you. Then place your 'Witch House Protection&quot; in the door frame by glueing it in place.</td>

<h2>VEHICLE PROTECTION</h2><h4> by Fabrisia</h4>
<br><br>
PREPARATION:<p>
This is a specialized spell I created for me to use. I'm sure you can alter it to fit your own beliefs. As I am also in tune with HERA, a peacock feather is a must. I chose the following stones and wrapped them in wire (leather will do nicely also). Hematite (grounding), Sodalite ( de-stress), Amber (protection of children), Moonstone (traveler's protection), and Turquoise (prevent danger). I wrapped these stones so they hang from my rear view mirror. Attatch the peacock feather to the wrap.
<br><br>
RITUAL:<p>
Perform a blessing ritual asking for the Goddes &amp; God and Hera to guide you and protect you while traveling. Use whatever words are comfortable for you. Place your 'hanging' in your vehicle.
