Making a Witch's Protection Ball

By D.J. Conwayedited by Mama Rose

Witch balls have been around for centuries, but is is nearly impossible (andvery costly) to buy one.These silvery balls were once common fixtures in windows, particularly inEngland, where they were said to repel evil thoughts and curses. Most Pagans

don't feel they can spend several hundred dollars to purchase such a ball, evenif they could find one, but there is no reason you can't make one.You will needa clear glass ball or Yule ornament with an opening in one end. If the

glass ball has some kind of design, choose one you like or one you can changewith further decoration.a bottle of silver paint (found in hobby stores)a few drops of frankincense or patchouli oila spool of red thread

a pair of scissors.Cover your working space with newspaper to protect against spills. Take themetal cap off the ornament. Carefully pour a little of the silver paint insidethe ball and swish it around until the inside is completely covered with the

silver. Set it aside to dry.When the paint is totally dry, cut the red thread into three-inch lengths.Carefully poke this thread into the open end of the ball. Continue cutting andputting the thread into the ball untill the ball is nearly full. Put in a few

drops of oil. Then put the end back on the ornament. If it has no end, seal itwith candle wax.When you hang the protection ball, chant:Symbol of the Moon, symbol of the Lady divine,Reject all negativity, defend this home (car), me and mine.

[or similar chant.] This protection ball can be hung in the window of your homeor in your car. Any negative thoughts or ill-wishes directed against you arereflected back to the sender. You can also decorate the outside with appropriate

designs. You can put them onto wreaths or make them part of a dried flowerarrangement. Programmed for protection, these little Witch balls do a very goodjob.
