Witch balls were once common fixtures in Windows, especially in England during the 18th century... Although their origin is thought to be much older.
The hollow glass spheres were hung to ward off witch's spells, evil spirits, curses and bad luck.
It is believed that negative forces are mesmerised by the ball's reflective beauty then absorbed and trapped in the web like strands of glass inside the ball.
Today, the balls are difficult to find and can be quite expensive. Here is a way to make your own:
You will need a clear glass ball or Christmas ornament with an opening at one end. If the glass ball has some kind of design, choose one you like or one you can change with further decoration. He will also need a bottle of silver paint, a few drops of Frankincense or Patchouli oil, a school of red thread and a pair of scissors.
Cover your working space with newspaper to protect against spills. Take the metal cap off of the ornament. Carefully pour a little of the silver paint inside the ball and swish it around until the inside is completely covered with silver. Set it aside to dry.
When the paint is totally dry, cut the red thread into 3 inch lengths. Carefully poke This Thread into the open end of the ball. Continue cutting and putting the thread into the ball until it is nearly full. Put in a few drops of oil. Then put the end back on the ornament. If it has no end, seal it with candle wax.
When you hang the protection ball, chant:
Symbol of the Moon,
symbol of the Lady Divine,
Reject all negativity,
Defend this home,
Me and mine.
All Blessings Be. )O(
